| Science Kit Book Bibliography & Other Excellent Books |
|---|
Each ASD kit contains a selection of carefully chosen books on the kit science topic. Multiple copies are included in many kits to allow use of a variety of reading strategies - such as partner reading or rotating a set of books at a table of 4. Another source of excellent science trade books that have been reviewed for accuracy is the Outstanding Science Tradebooks list, published annually by NSTA and CBC.
