How about checking the National Science Teacher's Association's list of
Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children? Their website of lists of
books (for libraries) is at:
http://www.nsta.org/ostbc
Also, check the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Math and Science at:
http://www.enc.org/
This link has tons of great ideas, resources, and lists--websites, books,
etc. In addition, if there is an ENC Partner near your school, (consortium
libraries can be found at: http://www.enc.org/partners/access/ ) you
can borrow the kits from these libraries (the kits that I have seen were
wonderful to use with a classroom because they provide multiple
things---especially for science classes....but since this is an extension
into a reading class, you might not want to adventure that far.)
If you do a search on ENC at: http://www.enc.org/resources/search/
you can put in a topic (Jane Goodall) and it will give you information
(weblinks, etc.) on how to expand the topic into a great lesson.

> Hi,

> I had been asked by a science teacher here for any reccommendations
> for science books for reading classes next year. They are thinking of
> buying class sets for a "literature link." We are a middle school math and
> science academy. Here are the specifics as best as I could get:
>
> nonfiction
> short (don't want the students to lose interest before they start - but
> remember this is M.S. academy, Oh and we are a school within a school so
> we have non-academy students as well)
> 6th grade wants life, cells, and animals and asked about Jane Goodall &
> Koko
> 7th grade wants earth science and asked about John Westley Powel books (by
> or about)
> 8th grade wants physics
>
> I am hoping someone can give me ideas for them.
