Marek,<br />
<br />
Very cool stuff - I made comments on this in the Middle School, Science Teachers and Graphic Novel walls.<br />
<br />
If you have any other incredible comic units to share feel free to do an advertisement/ resource post in the discussion forum that relates to your comic topic. I try to have people post things in the discussion forums (instead of the comment walls) because that way the resource is archived and easily searchable!!<br />
<br />
Thanks again!<br />

My students were so psyched that they could use comics to get INTO the subject matter and really explore it, and they couldn't wait to read (and learn about) all their classmates' projects.

Y'know- it's always about the narrative- whether it's through cartooning or something more "serious." I think I've always asked myself what story I wanted to tell through my science classes. I talk about that to teachers I work with- especially at middle school. When a teacher is struggling with a new curriculum, I always ask, "What is the story you want to tell?" For some, it's an eye-opening experience- science actually has a story? Teachers haven't always thought about that.<br />

Y'know- it's always about the narrative- whether it's through cartooning or something more "serious." I think I've always asked myself what story I wanted to tell through my science classes.

For some, it's an eye-opening experience- science actually has a story? Teachers haven't always thought about that.<br />
My best personal experience with this was in 9th grade when my bio teacher required us to read Microbe Hunters (I still own a copy of that book and always will). I've had high school kids read portions of Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, John McPhee's geology trilogy, etc. I love using scifi with kids and asking them how true the story is to what we can actually do with science and technology (we did a whole unit using Jurassic Park to explore genetics and ethics in science). Try The Hot Zone, The Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston- talk about relevant today with the flu outbreak- those will scare the kids into wanting to learn more about biology, viruses, and genetic engineering! And of course, there's always Calvin and Hobbes, and how about working King Kong or Mr. Bill into those physics problems? I know a middle school teacher who uses SpongeBob SqPants and his girlfriend Patty for Punnett Sq. problems- those 7th graders are pretty motivated to see what characteristics their offspring might inherit!<br />
There are so many ways to hook kids into science, and many times, it's not through "science," it's through media of some kind. Oops, got the fix above - Gon…tag:mcpopmb.ning.com,2009-04-27:2665237:Comment:65502009-04-27T15:31:30.011ZRyan Goblehttp://mcpopmb.ning.com/profile/RyanGoble

A good friend of mine, Deborah Beribechez, who is a brilliant and very charming woman with a PhD in biophysics from Stanford, has as her mission the goal of getting girls interested in science through her blog <a href="http://thesciencebabe.com/show.php">The Science Babe</a> and through videos of The Science of Everyday Life. Check out her videos and information.

John,<br />

Sorry for the small brain move -I can't help it as it is genetic...the archive is cool. I think we may have met before briefly - did you do a presentation once upon a time in Cleveland about your teachingwithlyics site? You too have an incredible load of great resources up there. When we get to a music theme week you should really share that site.<br />
