About the Book

“As Michael Allen points out, old misconceptions seldom die while new ones are conceived daily. He has made an excellent job of refreshing this fourth edition… It is so much more than a collection of fascinating conceptual 'butterflies', it is a carefully detailed window onto some of children's science-based thinking.” Mike Watts, Professor of Education, Brunel University, UK “Misconceptions in Primary Science is a comprehensive account of how children learn science and the common misconceptions they may have. It is a detailed and helpful book that all primary teachers should consult before teaching any aspect of science.” Dr James Williams, Reader in Science Education and Communication, University of Sussex, UK Misconceptions in Primary Science remains the go-to resource for primary teachers seeking practical, accessible support to tackle common misconceptions in the science classroom. This updated edition will enhance teachers’ grasp of scientific concepts and offers practical guidance to address the thought processes that can lead children astray. Unlike many primary science books that solely focus on subject knowledge or lesson plans, Michael Allen delves into the origins of over 100 common misconceptions, providing insights into why they arise and how to address them effectively. New features include: •Planning and assessment sheets tailored to each chapter •A new chapter on climate change •Misconceptions about bacteria and viruses, including Covid-19 •Guidance on leveraging Artificial Intelligence to enhance science teaching With creative activities and actionable advice, this book helps teachers bring scientific concepts to life for their students, fostering deeper understanding and improved learning outcomes. For student, newly qualified and experienced teachers alike, Misconceptions in Primary Science is an indispensable toolkit for teaching primary science with confidence.
