How can we ensure that what children learn in primary science sticks with them for a long time?

This publication will support teachers and science subject leaders in identifying and using strategies to support children in retaining their learning over time. The importance of curriculum structure, strategies for teaching and learning, questioning, and approaches to thinking, talking and discussion are explored within the context of sticky learning in primary science. The different sections within the publication identify specific examples of pedagogical approaches aimed at supporting children in committing new learning to their long term memory. There is also an appendix which references websites where many of the strategies can be accessed through free resources.

An invaluable guide for science subject leaders and teachers to maximise the learning potential within their science lessons. This chapter has been extracted from the longer version, Sticky Learning Within the Curriculum, which includes support for geography, history, computing, art and DT.
