Traditional science instruction v.s. Story telling

Submitted by GMH on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 12:16pm.
 Teaching science to children lends itself to the notion of collecting and  summarizing observations.When thinking about science instruction, validating student observations seems key. Science learning is empowering for all levels of students.The loopy story telling method of teaching science is more appropriate for young students than the quanitative"scientific method". Viewing science from a child's perspective will provide the teacher with insights into how children make sence of their world. Attending to a more naturalistic story telling method may help teachers of science to help students connect to their environment and refine their observations.
