Abstract	Drama and imagination have a place in every classroom, not just in the English teacher's. In fact, nowhere are they more critical to students' motivation than in bringing to life the often arcane equations of science. By inventing curiosity-provoking scenarios that require students to apply science concepts and processes as integral and indispensable elements, science teachers become the dramatists who capture students' imaginations. Memorization is replaced by eagerness to learn. The instructor, as problem-posing storyteller, can stimulate students' scientific creativity while simultaneously requiring traditional rigor and adherence to standards. Memorization and rote learning become a thing of the past; students learn by doing. (Contains 1 online resource.) (ERIC).
