Abstract
A lot of teachers use stories, as they help to motivate and engage children and simplify difficult concepts. However, the efficacy of using stories in science classes, particularly physics, remains unclear.
This contribution aims to introduce various methods of studying the use of stories in science lessons, with a main focus on primary schools, and their impact on learning outcomes. The contribution outlines the methodology used to search for relevant articles and presents a summary of studies related to the topic of stories in science education.
The author also provides a categorization of stories, based on their use, their presentation, and their form that can be useful to science education. Furthermore, the contribution offers examples of how stories can be combined with activities such as physics experiments and explores different research approaches related to the use of stories in science lessons.
