Key Features

• Jumpstart! Creativity: Games and Activities for Ages 7–14, 2nd Edition - over 70 games and activities that any primary teacher can use to quickly and easily boost students’ creative and critical thinking skills, allowing their thinking to flourish. It is designed to help children learn to generate, organise, and refine their own ideas and to explore, question, and connect knowledge presented to them in the classroom.
• Developing Creative Thinking Skills: An Introduction for Learners - helps learners demonstrably increase their own creative thinking skills. Focusing on divergent thinking, twelve inventive chapters build one’s capacity to generate a wide range of ideas, both as an individual and as a collaborator. This innovative textbook outlines a semester-long structure for the development of creative thinking skills and can easily be utilised as a self-directed format for those learning outside of a classroom.
• The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools (7th Edition) - provides essential information for students, trainee, and practising teachers about the why, what, and how of teaching primary science. Paying particular attention to inquiry-based teaching and learning, the book recognises the challenges of teaching science, and provides suggestions and examples aimed to increase teachers’ confidence and pupils’ enjoyment of the subject.
• Why Science Needs Art: From Historical to Modern Day Perspectives - explores the complex relationship between these seemingly polarised fields. Reflecting on a time when art and science were considered inseparable and symbiotic pursuits, the book discusses how they have historically informed and influenced each other, before considering how public perception of the relationship between these disciplines has fundamentally changed.
