Extension Reading for Science

Help me give my students books to expand, grow, and thrive in science

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cook's classroom raised $794

My Project

My students are amazing learners that crave understanding WHY things happen in the world around them. They are full of burning questions and ask for additional reading materials to enhance our studies in geology, cells and biology, waves, plate tectonics, global warming, weather, the water cycle, and more.

Our science curriculum, Stemscopes, has provided additional reading material lists to further student engagement.

Help my 6th grade students to find more ways to dazzle their minds and inspire them to lifelong learning. This book list fits all the standards as well.
