Using a cross-curricular focus, this book brings together ongoing
debates about personalised learning, creativity and ICT in education,
and establishes a principled framework for cross-curricular teaching and
learning in Science. It identifies a range of key issues and aims to
strengthen in-school science practices by introducing ways of teaching
rigorous science through, and alongside, other subjects.
This highly practical book draws on examples and case studies taken from
innovative practices in different schools and subject areas, as well as
summarising lessons from key pieces of research evidence.

components of a skilful pedagogical practice that affect how
teaching is delivered and how pupils learn science in
cross-curricular contexts
