W. Keith Sgrillo I like the "science as story telling" idea for several reasons. It gives me a tool to help accept changes in the world and in life. It also allows me to take parts of different people's stories that work for me and then to add my own observations to change the story to fit my needs. I feel that many of the stories that we accept as truth that come from others, we accept because of the convenience even when they make us uncomfortable. But having the conscious ability to recognize that we can change these stories using our own observations is extremely helpful. Stories are the mechanism of human culture. It is important that science be taught in this light because it is a "universal language" that can help us encourage students to explore and challenge their world.
