Science has now been added to our state's test. Now that so much emphasis has been placed on the "test", many teachers in our middle school do not bring their classes to the media center because they must work on skills in the classroom and do not feel they have time for anything else until after the test is given each year. Because I am always looking for ways to encourage content area teachers to be involved in reading, I am making a list of novels that contain science themes, such as Flush by Hiaasen, and The Gadget by Zindel. Does anyone have suggestions for activities science teachers could incorporate into their classes using these fictional books?
