The Science in a Topic students’ book Communication introduces students to a range of forms of communication used now and in the past. It covers words, sound, visual arts, signs and signals, the use of electricity and electronic devices. There are models for students to make of which some are quite advanced and use equipment more likely to be found in secondary schools. Instructions for students are well illustrated by drawing and photographs. The teacher has an active role, as indicated in the relevant sections of the Teacher’s Guide, in providing materials and reinforcing the questions that lead the students to investigate, create and find information.
