| Abstract |
"This book is about the intersection of storytelling and science. Recognizing that humans are hard-wired for narrative, this collection of new essays integrates the two in a special way to teach science in the K-6 classroom. Lesson plans are provided, each presenting a story, its alignment with science, language arts and theater arts standards"-- Provided by publisher. |
