Great Resource!

Out of all the textbooks I have been required to read over the years this is one of the most enjoyable ones. This book is very engaging and I learned a lot from it. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a better way to teach science. It gives a lot of great examples as well. This is one textbook that will not be collecting dust on the shelf.
Great Book!!

This is an easy reader. I have never read a textbook that is actually fun to read. The personal experiences shared by the textbook author are a great way to present the material.
A text I keep reaching for....

About a year ago, I used this text in a course I taught as an adjunct. Science Stories was one of the four texts that were required for a "learning-communities" style course that combined the course content for math, science, and technology methods. Since closing the course in May, 2007 (I taught two sections of the science component), I have found myself returning to this one text again and again. Supervisors of student teachers, preservice teachers, and naturalist-educators could use this book as a reference for "science process skills," for questioning levels, and for ideas on "home-made" laboratory equipment constructed from everyday items. What it does not provide are many "cookbook" guides for how to run specific activities. Readers will have to look elsewhere for direct-instruction models and for protocols for guided laboratory activities.
"Science Stories" Great Text for Elementary Science Methods Course

Science Stoies by Janice Koch is a great book for teaching preservice elementary school teachers how to teach science. The author is a master of questioning and walks the reader through the process of asking questions in order to build on prior knowledge and concepts. The author also reminds the reader of the content we all need to know to help the younger generation discover truths about the natural world. This is a true constructivist approach to science education.
WOW, amazing teaching technique!
