Teaching, Learning and Assessing Science 5 - 12 is written by Wynne Harlen and published by SAGE Publications. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1412908728 (ISBN 10) and 9781412908726 (ISBN 13).

This thoroughly revised and completely up-to-date new edition provides an excellent theoretical framework for teaching science that is firmly grounded in classroom practice and covers all stages of education for students aged 5 to 12. Wynne Harlen details a constructivist view of learning, which recognises that children already have ideas about the world in which they live, and gives advice on how teachers can help children to develop their understanding and change their perception to a more scientific view. A particular feature is the focus on formative assessment as a framework for discussion on how to help students develop their understanding, enquiry skills and positive attitudes to scientific investigation.
