Children's Science Book Collection 2008
Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K-12
Even in this age of videos and computers, books
are still one of the best ways to pursue an interest in science.
The Children's Science Book Collection: Outstanding Science Trade
Books for Students K-12 presents approximately 40 new science
trade books each year for children in kindergarten through grade
12. The books are selected by a committee of educators and librarians
appointed by the National Science Teachers Association in cooperation
with The Children's Book Council, Inc. This popular exhibition
has been traveled by ASTC for over 20 years.
Exhibit topics include biography, astronomy, paleontology, environmental
science, health and medicine, physics, and technology. The books
are evaluated for content, accuracy, readability, and pleasing
format. Book subjects range from picture books for the very young
to in-depth scientific discussions enhanced by photographs, diagrams,
and glossaries. In past years, this book collection has served
as the foundation of a number of science education events across
the country.
