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.

"I have never used the Koch text but will use it next fall for my two sections of science methods with undergraduates. As I read the chapters I realized that it may be just what I have been looking for. I need something that the students can relate to, not too difficult that it goes over their heads and not too dry. Its strengths are: Readability, science stories making science concepts and teaching ideas accessible to students. Personal reflections of the author woven throughout. Text feels like it was written by someone who has taught science in the classroom. Instructor support much more than most texts give."
