Brand new chapters written by a team of international experts provide fresh insight into topics of central importance when teaching science. Written to aid and inspire beginning teachers, current teachers and established subject leaders, these focused chapters are essential to anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of salient issues within school science education, including: STEAM education; Sustainability and climate change; Science and sensitive issues; Equity and diversity; Science and sex education; Science and religion; Science and pedagogy (including science inquiry); Transition from primary to secondary school.
