Outstanding Science

Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K-12 is a reading list determined by nine science educators who select the year's best books for science classrooms. This is an annual project of the National Science Teachers Association and the CBC.

This annotated bibliography features titles published in the previous calendar year and selected by a book review committee appointed by the NSTA. Titles are grouped by category, including: Archaeology, Anthropology, and Paleontology; Biography; Earth and Space Science; Environment and Ecology; Life Science; Physical Science; and Technology and Engineering. Each annotation contains bibliographic data.

NSTA members interested in joining the Outstanding Science Trade Books review committee should communicate their interest to the NSTA President-Elect.

Full-color copies of the annotated list are available for $5 per copy (includes S&H). Please make checks payable to Children's Book Council and send to:
