I was recently reading the January/February 2024 issue of "Science Scope," a publication of the National Science Teaching Association, for middle school science teachers.
In this issue, I read the section on the "Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students. The selections are a collaboration of the National Science Teaching Association and the Children's Book Council.
In this first of two podcasts, I share six of the twelve books that were selected for middle school students. The books are:
"My Indigo World" by Rosa Chang
"Before Colors: Where Do Pigments and Dyes Come From" by Annette Bay Pimental
"Grizzly Bears: Guardians of the Wilderness" by Frances Backhouse
"Mission Arctic: A Scientific Adventure to a Changing North Pole" by Katharina Weiss-Tuider
"We Need to Talk About Vaginas" by Dr. Allison K. Rodgers
"Evolution" by Sarah Darwin and Eva-Maria Sadowski
