Teaching science can be a daunting idea;
- What if the experiments go horribly wrong?
- What if they ask me why trees grow, and rocks don’t?
- What if they can tell that I’m not a scientist?
It’s no wonder that only 32% of primary teachers strongly agree that they are “confident in teaching science”. (The Wellcome Trust’s State of the Nation report of UK Primary Science Education)
