Best STEM Books 2023 for Early Elementary Students

I was recently reading the March/April 2023 issue of “The Science & Children” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.  In this issue, I read an article on the Best STEM Books 2023 for books published in 2022.

Best STEM Books winners explore problems and possible solutions in the scientific world and, where applicable, in the lives of the protagonists.  Instead of focusing on specific content, the Best STEM Books emphasize real-world issues that cross disciplinary boundaries.  There were two books in the list that were most appropriate for early elementary students.  They are:

Action! How Movies Began

The Amazing World of Video Game Development

Bear Builds a House

Blips on a Screen: How Ralph Baer Invented TV Video Gaming and Launched a Worldwide Obsession

Lion Lights: My Invention that Made Peace with Lions

The Mystery of the Monarchs: How Kids, Teachers, and Butterfly Farms Helped Fred and Norah Urquhart Track the Great Monarch Migration
