This article makes a case for expressing the aims of science education in terms of the development of a relatively small number of "big ideas" of science and about science. It considers the principles and criteria for guiding selection of the ideas and the reasons for describing them in narrative form. It discusses progression and implications for classroom practice in relation to choice of curriculum content, teaching and assessment. It draws on a publication that resulted from an international seminar involving a group of experienced science educators, scientists and engineers from different parts of the world.
