Middle School Science Minute

EARTH SCIENCE TRADE BOOKS
I was recently reading the March, 2016 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read the article, “Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K-12.” This podcast features four earth science books that are on this year’s list of Outstanding Trade Books. The titles include:
- Smithsonian: Space!
- After the Ashes
- When Earth Shakes: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis
- Wild at Heart: Mustangs and the Young People Fighting to Save Them
