Most of the science fiction books in the list below are in your library! (If can't find them, you can order them by clicking the title links below.) Check out two or three copies of each for your class. Let students choose their favorites and form literature groups. Give them copies of the unit to guide them to find the special treasure inside each book, to develop valuable scientific skills, to problem-solve, and to help them work together as a group! Science fiction today is the science of tomorrow! Reading stories about science of the future or science that is out of control will motivate your students to think about ethics in science.
