Inhaltsangabe

SCIENCE STORIES helps you get in touch with your "scientific self" and become empowered to teach science in your own classrooms. This book's unique approach uses stories of science in real-world classrooms to demonstrate important science content and strategies in action. Following each story, you'll have the opportunity to reflect on the connections to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and to the teaching and disciplinary ideas behind the story. This approach makes the stories' instructional value explicit. Author Janice Koch helps you feel comfortable with the prospect of teaching science and encourages you in the discovery and exploration of life, physical, and earth and space sciences. Through a warm and inviting narrative style, the author also fosters an appreciation for engineering design and for science and engineering practices.
