What is reflective practice? How can nurses and midwives improve their practice through reflection? How can nurses and midwives maintain reflective practices? This book provides a practical guide to help nurses and midwives improve their work practices constantly. The new edition includes expanded sections on the nature of reflection and practice, preparing for reflection, and types of reflection, plus a new chapter on the 'Taylor Model of Reflection' and reflective practice in research and scholarship. The writing style is accessible to any nurse or midwife interested in reflecting on her or his practice and the practice stories are of relevance to both new and experienced clinicians. "Reflective Practice" is essential reading for nurses and midwives who are being introduced to reflective processes in their education and practice, and also for renewing interest and enthusiasm for health workers and practitioners who use reflective practices in their day-to-day work.

Fun-filled science activities make the concept of energy come alive with a variety of exciting toys. Science is not about reading textbooks and memorizing facts. Science is all about asking questions and trying to find their answers. Students should have the opportunity to formulate questions and carry out investigations. They should practice developing explanations for phenomena based on evidence they have collected. Communication and respect for the ideas of others is also an important part of science. The activities in this book will help you create a learning environment in your classroom in which all these things happen naturally. And, as a bonus, the activities use toys and common household items rather than typical science lab equipment. The toys capitalize on students' natural interest and help them see the connection between the science they do in school and their lives outside of school.
