Abstract: | Stories are a traditional means of communication that play a role in transferring values belonging to culture from one generation to another and also acts as a powerful pedagogical tool helping people to process their daily experiences. Stories can be a dynamic educational tool that provides instructional flexibility. Moreover, it can be used in the science classroom by incorporating scientific facts and the nature of science into fiction to teach science and how to do science. Narratives can be used in the science classroom not only to develop the cognitive domain but also the affective domain and soft skills in students. This portfolio is a collection of stories written along with connections to the Ontario Science Curriculum and additional resource material in the form of a website focused on changing stereotypes through biographies and teaching concepts through content-based stories |
