Summary:To aspire to deliver an outstanding lesson every time a group of students enter your classroom is admirable - but to achieve it is unsustainable! Instead, we should aim to create an experience for each individual that leaves an impression they can recall later in life. If you are committed to achieving this then you must explore new ideas and take yourself out of your comfort zone. In his motivational book of tried-and-tested strategies, Ian McDaid applies this philosophy across 100 practical lesson ideas that will help science teachers improve their practice and maintain a high standard in the classroom on a daily basis. Each idea can be adapted to meet the needs of the individual, and follows the successful 100 Ideas format, featuring a catchy title, a brief summary, and a step-by-step guide for implementation. 100 Ideas for Outstanding Science Lessons will stimulate thoughts, inspire reflection and promote an inquisitive, active approach to learning in your secondary science lessons.
