@AMcGarry28 @JosephNorton001 @GreatSciShare @BASF @Usborne Great teachers guide. I start every topic with a page out of each of these. Magic of reality provides myths about science topic which is a history of ideas. Compare with opening pages in DK

@ClaveringTS27 Look closely at times, lines and pink post it’s on globe. Kids spin globe according to time and check positions of other places against times on clock #fertilequestion

The best bit of teaching science is, well, teaching science. Science is *amazing*. No "fun", no "engaging" activities. Just science. And the quiet, contemplative satisfaction of knowing more about the world.

Start off each topic by reading & comparing the history of ideas and the current scientific understanding. These two books provide beautiful examples of each

[Richard Taylor @goosescience]

@RichardDawkins I love using the myths at the start of each chapter with my year 5 children.

@PearCottingley @priscigeeks @AETscience You can even then carry out transplants between play dough model and animal heart. Always ask butcher for full hearts. Too often too much is missing.

@PearCottingley @priscigeeks @AETscience Make one in play dough first then compare as dissect.
