Story Starters and Science Notebooking: Developing Student Thinking
Through Literacy and Inquiry is designed to provide a meaningful,
comfortable framework in which teachers and parents can encourage
elementary children to explore scientific ideas in an
inquiry-oriented format. The basis for each scientific concept
presented in Story Starters and Science Notebooking is embedded in
a story appropriate for elementary-aged children. The activity that
follows each narrative encourages learners to observe, compare,
gather data, organize or classify, and draw conclusions about the
problem posed from the story. Because current scientific knowledge
and understanding guide scientific investigations, background
information in each chapter provides teachers with a synopsis of
the scientific concept involved in the activity for that story. The
story starters present a framework for inquiry, which eliminates
the free-wheeling, uncontrolled, and unstructured view some
teachers have of inquiry. These are either original stories or
familiar children's stories that ask learners to investigate a
possible scientific explanation for a problem or scenario. Learners
then communicate their findings in an oral, written, pictorial, or
technological form back to a lead character from the story.
Extension activities provide an opportunity for learners to compare
their answers with what scientists already know about the world and
also motivate them to frame new questions. Grades 3-6 Introduction
