Creative Ways to Teach Primary Science draws on the best ideas about teaching primary science, using an evidence-based approach which recognizes that there are some proven and more effective methods for teaching primary science.

Creativity is one of the most powerful indicators of successful teaching, and the key is a willingness to take risks and to accept uncertainty.
