Based around the annual Science Books & Films (SB&F) Prize for Excellence in Science Books awards, UW-L elementary/middle science methods students (pre-service teachers) evaluate the current year’s SB&F Finalists books.  Pre-service teacher book evaluation is based on SB&F judging criteria. Each pre-service teacher votes for the elementary/middle school level book they think will win the actual SB&F Prize.  A elementary/middle school mock SB & F election rubric has also been developed for use with K-8 level students.

Let us know what you're doing! We would like to track how many people are using our Mock SB&F materials whether locally, nationally or globally.  Please contact gerber.dani@uwlax.edu  to let us know if you are running a mock SB & F election in your school district or for pre-service teachers at your university.
