Honeycutt Books
Author, John Honeycutt, currently serves as a middle school math teacher. He developed and used this curriculum with high school science students. He is a former petrophysicist and geologist. The majority of his professional career has been as a human capital management consultant building workforce training programs for several of the largest and best-respected global organizations. This work draws from those experiences. The workbooks listed below are an optional supplement to free curriculum available at this site (HoneycuttScience.com).

Elementary Illustrated STEM Tales
These wacky tales introduce one physical science topic each. Following the highly illustrated, silly story – readers will find the “real science” described in a few pages and/or high-graphic illustrations. These are written at a 3rd-4th grade reading level. These are appropriate night-time readers for younger children, and can be used by older students as a catalyst for further investigation into a relevant science topic. A subtle, underlying message is woven into each story – such as “curiosity”, “perseverance”, or “team work and collaboration.”
