Science Stories: Science Methods for Elementary and Middle School Teachers

by Janice Koch

Using narratives about science in the classroom as a tool for teaching and learning, this text helps prepare teachers to build their own knowledge through a constructivist approach and learn from students' experiences. Each science story presents actual classroom scenarios that demonstrate content, learning, and strategies in action. Stories are followed by Expanding Meanings sections, as well as coverage of the Teaching Ideas, Science Ideas, and Science Standards applicable to each one.
