    Science plays an important part in the National Curriculum and providing pupils with valuable knowledge, understanding and the skills to investigate scientific theories in their continued education. Science is about following scientific methods in order to analyse and hypothesise on the findings. Devereux (2000, p5) states “Science essentially is about understanding. It involves reaching possible conclusions, exploring relationships and explanations between ideas and events.” I will be teaching a class of twenty six students, aged between five and six about life processes and living things. However I will be focusing on a particular group of six children who are within the Level 1 parameters (Appendix 1) and aiming towards achieving Attainment Target 1 by the end of the year. (Appendix 2)…

    The Science co-ordinator has developed a whole school coverage sheet to ensure that all of the areas of the National curriculum are covered throughout years 1 -6. Each teacher highlights the National curriculum programme of study, when they cover it and dates it. This is then handed to the next teacher to continue with highlighting. The idea is that by the time the children reach year 6, all areas of the Science curriculum should be highlighted, and some areas more than once. The whole school coverage uses the QCA headings as topic headings and teachers are allowed to use the QCA scheme as a skeleton outline for ideas, however teachers tend to add their own ideas and expand ideas to ensure that the science teaching is exciting and investigation heavy. The use of Hamilton plans is also used widely throughout…

    An Air Force introductory course in electronics uses a personalized system of instruction whereby each student views a videotaped lecture and then is given a programmed instruction text. The students work independently with the text until they have completed the training and passed a test. Of concern is the varying pace at which the students complete this portion of their training program. Some students are able to cover the programmed instruction text relatively quickly, whereas other students work much longer with the text and require additional time to complete the course. The fast students wait until the slow students complete the introductory course before the entire group proceeds together with other aspects of their training.…
