Adam Boxer – författare

Teaching science is no simple task. Science teachers must wrestle with highly abstract and demanding concepts, ideas which have taken humanity's greatest minds thousands of years to formulate and refine. Communicating these great and awesome theories involves careful forethought and planning. We need to deliver crystal clear explanations, guide students as they develop their embryonic knowledge and then release them to develop their thinking independently, all the while curating and tending to their long-term understanding as it develops over time.In Teaching Secondary Science: A Complete Guide, Adam breaks down the complex art of teaching science into its component parts, providing a concrete and comprehensive set of evidence-informed steps to nurturing brilliant science students. Adam hopes that you find this book interesting, but his main aim is for you to find it useful. Useful when it comes to sketching out your curriculum, useful when preparing your explanations, useful for mapping out how you will check student understanding and useful for all other aspects of science teaching. This is a truly complete guide, and science teachers of any experience will find it packed with ideas that are new, challenging, interesting and, most importantly, useful.

Provide all the independent practice needed for your Springboard Science course with over 1000 questions in each Practice Book.Designed to be used alongside our Knowledge Book, our Practice Books provide shed loads of practice (SLOP) for students to consolidate, apply and extend the knowledge that they have learnt.With decades of teaching experience and extensive knowledge of applying cognitive science in the classroom, you can trust our author team to have created carefully crafted and varied questions for independent practice.> Improve students' long-term retention. Spacing is built in throughout this Practice Book, improving retention over time.> Highlight connections between topics and Sciences. Interleaving of content encourages students to recognise and focus on the connections, similarities and differences across science, enabling them to reflect on their learning in more depth.> Build confidence in the key skills. Question sets include coverage of the key mathematical and working scientifically skills that students need to understand, ensuring that this knowledge is embedded throughout their independent practice.> Support every student. Links to the relevant worked examples in the Knowledge Book are highlighted throughout each unit for easy reference.> Prepare for the next step. Questions increase in difficulty throughout each topic, enabling students to progress through the KS3 curriculum and prepare for KS4 and beyond. Answers are available online for free, and also embedded into the lesson presentations in our Boost digital teaching and learning resources for easy in-class independent practice review.
