Description
SCIENCE STORIES helps teachers build their own instructional knowledge through the use of narratives about science in real-world classrooms that demonstrate important content, learning, and strategies in action. Stories are followed by Expanding Meanings sections that highlight the Teaching Ideas, Science Ideas, and Science Standards applicable to each one. Author Janice Koch’s constructivist approach guides teachers in the discovery and exploration of their scientific selves so that they can learn from students’ experiences and become effective scientific explorers in their own classrooms.
