Storytelling  in  science  education

Who doesn't love a good story?  As a teacher I do what so many of us do - collect stories! 

In this talk I’ll illustrate how these stories can humanize scientists and the process of science, and in doing so do some justice to the front matter of our curriculum, especially the nature of science.
I’ll demonstrate how stories can help a settler science teacher like me meaningfully incorporate indigenous perspectives into my science classes, as required by the TQS and by the moral imperative I feel as a 21st century canadian settler and
I’ll make a case for stories as a way to engage and connect with the members of your class community.
