Berry Science Stories

What makes a good story? Rich details, using the five senses to set the scene, memorable characters, a problem or plot listeners can relate to? When we communicate our science stories to the public, including the personal experiences, emotions and senses, and sense of wonder can help people connect better with the science. Winterberry youth use story boarding to help them share their science field experiences and new questions to their families and communities. See an example in the 360 video and find the teaching tools we developed below.
