2.1 What Do They Know?
Video clips of children working and on-screen text focus on evidence of children's development in a series of process skills. Criteria are given for assessing the skills, and the next steps in learning are identified with suggestions for helping the children take those steps. Managing the learning process is discussed and there are suggestions for practical activities to help the teacher try out the approaches covered.

2.2 Passport
A template for a series of bridging projects to make the transition from primary to secondary school successful, as pupils collect visas to mark achievement in scientific skills. Investigations started in the primary school are completed in the secondary school. This could be used as a stand alone activity in primary classes.

2.3 Parents in Primary Science
Guidance and advice to help involve parents in school, including activities pupils may take home to do.

2.4 Adapting and Amending Schemes of Work
Materials to help teachers adapt the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) Scheme of Work for Key Stages 1 and 2 to suit their own schools and to encourage creativity in science teaching.

2.5 Other Resources
A 'Good Resource Guide' for primary and secondary schools. A number of resources are reviewed by practising teachers according to usefulness in supporting the curriculum; how much time each takes to use, whether it will enhance planned lessons without a lot of modification and whether it provides enough information for its use.

2.6 Websearch
Reviews of websites suitable for use by primary children in their own research or by teachers to illustrate teaching points. Also includes information on museums and other resources and advice on how to make a web page.
