Create a flyer for "Science in the Early Years"

Knowledge of the world is an area that has lost some of its focus in the EYFS curriculum yet young children are fascinated by the world in which they live and in the ways in which it works. This book re-emphasies the importance of this vital area of the curriculum and offers thoughts on how these can be introduced in the EYFS programme. Building on good scientific principles the books offers practical ideas on the teaching of science to the youngest children given them firm foundations for the statutory curriculum.

A very useful book for students specialising in the Early Years. I found the chapter "Creating a Science Rich Curriculum" particularly useful.

Another practical and useful book for the student and practitioner. Full of useful facts and underlying knowledge. Good explanations to answer the why and how questions often asked. Great book to dip in and out of when needed

Used in planning for EYS science sessions. Students like the format also.

This book would be useful for the science links to the curriculum on the eYPS course that we are looking at offering. Easy reading so suitable for all learners.

The observation boxes for each subject area have been seen as a good tool to focus the PGCE students.

A good practical text, it includes a range of ideas that could be used with children. I like the observations sections as they provide ideas that could be undertake in school.

Great ideas for science in the early years for our learners

This is an excellent book that will give any early years teacher ideas for how to develop many scientific concepts from birth to 5, as well as knowedge of the topics at an adult level, providing theoretical understanding for the teacher.

This book looks very useful and will be used in our additional reading lists to supplement existing texts. It provides practical activities as examples to use with young children.

This is an ideal text for students who are planning to work with children in their Early Years. It supports teachers and practitioners in their understanding of why science is important to young children and in their own understanding of the relevant scientific concepts. There are many practical suggestions of how teachers and practitioners can get started and develop creative activities that will stimulate young children's thinking and understanding.

Clearly laid out accessible ideas that link theory and practice.
A usuful initial tool for ITE

Very useful for Early Years practitioners and students

Clear and concise. This book is easy to read. It provides good background knowledge with clear links to how each area of science can be approached within the setting. It is great to see the development of babies also considered. Observation points are also included, offering a useful focus for assessment. Highly recommended for early years practitioners.

This will be a very useful text for our Early Years students who are often forgotten about in Primary Science textbooks. The book has lots of ideas and activities which are relevant and engaging and the relevant knowledge and understanding is included too. I shall certainly recommend this book to our Early years trainees.
This text has been added to our reading list and copies are being purchased for the library.

A really good supplementary text - practical ideas and just the right anount amount of 'theory'.

excellent resource, well written and an excellent practical resource for early years professionals

Written clearly for student level with particularly supportive consideration of theoretical perspectives at the beginning

This text has great ideas to introduce science to young children. An essential text for students & providers
