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.

The text is very current, relevant and meaningful. It brings SCIENCE concepts to life. A very thorough treatment of pedagogy to encourage constructivist, reflective instructional practices for teaching science. Immerses pre-service science teachers into the wonderful world of science teaching in a way that is non-threatening yet rigorous.
