|content= | |content=This very popular guide, now released below, provided content for the drive to teach science using information technology as a tool. Equally the primary school teacher needed to inculcate pupils with a prescribed set of IT skills. The book collected countless ideas for using IT tools in science and provided practical examples of how they could work to good effect. In summary, the ideas within are classified as follows:<br>* Communicating – using graphics, publishing and word processing tools<br>* Drawing graphs and doing calculations – using a spreadsheet or graphing program<br>* Classifying things – sorting sets of animals or plants – using a branching database<br>* Measuring in science – using electronic sensors and data loggers<br>* Playing with science ideas – modelling using a spreadsheet; simulation or animation<br>* Collecting information – using the Internet. The book pre-dated the use of the internet for communicating and research, hence the use of the term IT (and not ICT) in primary science. | ||
