The Case of the Vanishing Little Brown Bats: A Scientific Mystery by Sandra Markle
5.0
The Case of the Vanishing Little Brown Bats is wonderful scientific mystery for middle grade readers. The information is presented clearly and simply, but with accuracy and science vocabulary.
Sandra Markle leads kids through the scientific process by explaining what the issue is and why it is important, how it is affecting the bats and data collection, hypotheses to what the problem could be, finding the cause of the problem and possible solutions. I read this with a group of kids aged 10-12, they were intrigued by the mystery and inspired to find out more about bats and what they could do to help- that is exactly what I want a science book to do. Female students also liked that many of the scientists were women!
