The Art of Teaching Science

Grady Venville, Vaille Dawson
The Art of Teaching Science is a new book on school science education in Australia. Each chapter has been written by leading science educators who have been deeply involved in school-based research, teaching and teacher education. These educators have translated the latest research findings into recommendations for practice. The book addresses contemporary reforms and offers an outcomes-focused, student-centred approach to science teaching.
