Sensible Physics Teaching: For Grades Six to Eight

The most effective way for children to learn about science is through hands-on experience, not through memorising theory. That principle is at the heart of Waldorf science teaching, and is the basis for this invaluable book.

The authors explore the nature of ‘phenomenological’ – experiential – science’ and how it can help middle-school students engage with physics, and stimulate observation and wonder.

The book has step-by-step experiments that demonstrate how to approach science in this lively, real-life way. It is an essential book for any teacher who wants to bring this kind of fulfilling interaction into their classroom.
