Help me give my students books to spark their interest in STEAM projects. These books will help tie all the components of STEAM together to acquire a true cross-curricular experience.

My Students
Our middle school is a Title I school and many of the students come from low income families. At our school, 100% of students receive free or reduced price meals. Over 35% of our students receive special education services and many others function well below grade level. The total enrollment is just over 250 students. Our Modified Curriculum students have multiple disabilities that impedes their ability to fully participate in the general education setting. We are transitioning back to a full virtual learning platform and working toward STEAM certification.
My students are enthusiastic and creative, and I am constantly challenged to investigate new opportunities for them to test the waters in STEAM learning.
These books will allow me to create new STEAM boxes to go with the books so students would learn to use critical thinking skills and essential knowledge while engaged in constructive play.
My Project
My students are enthusiastic and creative, and I am constantly challenged to investigate new opportunities for them to test the waters in STEM/STEAM learning. Although they are included in the general education population for related arts and other classes, it is often difficult for the general education teacher to differentiate enough when one is planning for 100 other students. These books will give us the opportunity to read about the topics that the projects cover in the general education setting.
They will be able to correlate the books to the boxes we already have, as well as to the new projects they will be doing in STEAM class.
They will allow us to repeatedly read, create and build confidence that they take with them to other classrooms. This also gives them freedom and a feeling of being apart of things with their peers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
