Traditional method of teaching science requires a lot of work that removes the students from involvement, making them at best second-hand long-term observers and at worst passive receivers. Copying from science books, watching animals die in lab, looking at pictures of leaves, etc., remove children from first-hand experience. They must be educated in such a way that make them scientists in their own world, making their tests, making their observations and communicating their results and thoughts. What a particular child sees and thinks is most important so that his initial responses are vital. Recognising the paucity of suitable experimental science based on newer and newer methods capable of explaining scientific concepts and principles in easy and interesting way, the present book first takes historical perspective and then picturesquely elucidates on new methods of science teaching in schools. This book of new methods in science teaching will suit to the needs of teachers, students and general readers.
