These books written by Neil de Grasse Tyson will enrich the science content for my students.
A companion text such as these will enhance student learning and drive their curiosity.
Choosing to read a book alongside the content will also teach students to seek out multiple sources on a topic and enjoy learning from an expert in the field.
Finding texts that capture the interest of young learners can be difficult however deGrasse is known for his wit, charm and his ability to spark interest for his audience. I am hoping these books will ignite a passion for science.
