I’m looking for suggestions for my 6th grade science classroom library!

Unfortunately, I’m in South Carolina so there can be no mention of someone being LGBTQ+, no mention of barriers someone faces as a minority, or explicit talk about climate change.

They can be for any reading level (some of my students are on a kindergarten level but I also have students reading above grade level)!

I’d prefer books about these topics:
-Cells/Human Body Systems (no reproductive system please)
-States of matter
-Thermal energy and heat transfer
-EM waves
-Water/water cycle
-Rocks/rock cycle
-Weather
-Climate (as in climate zones, ocean currents, and wind currents)
-WED
-Plate tectonics
-Fossil record
-Earth’s layers
-Natural hazards (hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, volcanoes, flooding, thunderstorms, heat waves)

Thank you in advance!

Hello! I’m a current, certified middle school science teacher. Within the next couple of years I’d like to tack on some additional certification areas/fields to mix things up. Outside of general high school science, what other content areas would you recommend? Could be for marketability or just something fun to teach!

I’m currently getting my M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction and I’m planning on getting an M.S. in Sustainability/Environmental Studies within the next few years for extra context!
