A practical teacher's resource, this text is specifically written to fulfill all the requirements of the national curriculum in science for primary schools. Intended for all teachers, particularly non-science specialists, it provides comprehensive coverage in an easy-to-follow format. Full of practical ideas, it gives children meaningful, relevant things to do. "Blueprints: Science 5-7" provides activities for key stage 1. "Blueprints: Science 7-11" includes activities for key stage 2. For each key stage there is a "Teacher's Resource Book" and a book of "Pupils' Copymasters", which closely follow the structure of the publication "Science in the National Curriculum" (HMSO, 1989). The "Teacher's Resource Book" is arranged in sections, each corresponding to work at a level of the national curriculum; the "Pupils' Copymasters" match some of the activities at each of the levels.;One feature of the "Teachers Resource Book" is a topic planner chart listing many of the topics in common use. Alongside each topic title is an indicator to show at which levels and in which Attainment Targets (ATs) there is work which can easily make a contribution to the topic.;With practical explorations and activities through key stage 2, the text sections relate to work expected of children through the key stage, i.e., levels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
