Jane Essex reviews this specialist teaching and learing guide

This is an excellent book, albeit possibly one for a slightly specialist readership. Nevertheless, the stated intention of cross-curricular work to engender ‘knowledge, skills and ingenuity’ is one that would doubtless receive general acclaim.

It is one in a series of publications that considers the relevance and benefits of effective cross-curriculum design and delivery, accompanied by practical examples. It describes the historical precedents and explores the causes of resistance to this style of work, but the authors are clear that they are not advocating a return to theme-based work.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
