This article discusses the use of case studies to aid in students developing their own models of scientific concepts. However, the methods that are focused on; the use of a case study/story to develop interest, developing a sense of place or ownership of the question, and project based learning should be included in lessons for all students when possible. As an introduction to a set of case-studies it does a wonderful job of showing how to get our students involved in learning how science is applied in every-day life and how we can teach that.
