Handy Topics in the Curriculum Department

The books that appear in these lists were selected as outstanding children's science trade books. They were selected by a book review panel appointed by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and assembled in cooperation with the Children’s Book Council (CBC). NSTA and CBC have cooperated on this bibliographic project since 1973.  Please note, up until 2002, this award was known as "Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children" and did not always focus on the full K-12 grade range.
