What does 'mastery' look like in primary science? How can teachers plan for, assess and evidence it?

- Outlines how to recognise and use assessment opportunities
- Focuses on the development of conceptual understanding
- Highlights and demontrates the importance of teacher questioning
- Explores the theories behind 'mastery' for primary science
