Teaching Science through Literature: Focus on Victorian Science Fiction

Abstract

There are so many scientific themes in the literary works that literature can be a good tool to teach with. For example, Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, deals with medicine, physiology, chemistry, physics, and others. In this paper, many Victorian and modern novels will be quoted and analyzed to show how to teach various scientific disciplines and the history of the sciences. In other words, a pedagogical methodology will be suggested to teach the history and knowledge of the sciences through the storytelling of the literary contents.
