Finding the Science in Stories
This site was designed to help educators find fictional stories to incorporate into their science lessons. The use of fictional stories is an effective pathway to your student's science background knowledge, interest and understanding. This site was also developed in response to a Literature Review that asked: How are females of color portrayed in science-based fictional picture books? A summary of that literature review can be found in the "About" tab.
