A practical volume designed to support teachers in using Cooperative Learning in science teaching. This methodology, based on pair work and small-group activities, fosters active knowledge construction, promotes social skills and makes learning more inclusive and participatory.

The book offers nine structured pathways for Years 3, 4 and 5, focusing on key subject areas. Each pathway includes activities, images and worksheets that guide pupils step by step in understanding scientific content. The recurring structure of the units provides teachers with a clear and replicable model, useful not only for implementing the activities in the book but also for designing new, personalised learning experiences.
