Earlier this week, I had someone ask for some recommendations of books that have science content within them and a couple of years ago I was asked for books with math content. These requests has made me realize that there may be other teachers out there that may want some of these same recommendations. Today I will share with you the science books I recommended and next week I'll share the math books.
This list contains books I recommended to an 8th grade science teacher. He wanted books that weren't directly "science" books but that had science elements within them. Next to each book I've included how the book connects with the content. You can also click on the cover and it will take you to my review or its Goodreads summary.
Novels with Science Content
The books listed include some I have read as well as books that were shared by the science teacher who asked me for the list as well as books shared with me through Twitter when I asked for some help. Thank you to @mselke01 @thebrainlair @Hannahlily & @Loveofxena.
