  The strange properties of the nucleon are investigated within the framework
of the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model assuming isospin symmetry and applying
the symmetry conserving SU(3) quantization. We present the form factors
$G^0_{E,M}(Q^2)$, $G^Z_M(Q^2)$ and the electric and magnetic strange form
factors $G^s_{E,M}(Q^2)$ incorporating pion and kaon asymptotics. The results
show a fairly good agreement with the recent experimental data from the SAMPLE
and HAPPEX collaborations. We also present predictions for future measurements
including the A4 experiment at MAMI (Mainz).
