4 Year Science Rotation: Adding Literature and Biographies

Another dumb question, if you can stand it.

 

Okay, so I am dead-set on a 4 year science rotation, for better and worse. I'm trying to widen it a bit, though, so I can add public domain novels and living books to the science rotation instead of just the history rotation. And use science as a basis for interesting composition lessons.

 

Year 1: Living Science

Nature Study–especially trees, birds, and seasons

Plants–especially plants that are useful to man

Animals–especially animals that are useful to man

 

Year 2: Earth and Space

Star Myths

Moon watching

Famous astronomers

Rocks and minerals–especially minerals that are useful to man

Natural disasters

Time/Seasons/Climate

 

Year 3 Chemistry, Medicine, Oceanography

Elements–especially elements that are useful to man

Chemistry in the home

History of medicine

Nutrition

Oceans–especially travel and uses to man

 

Year 4 Physics, Inventions, Architecture, Maths

 

If you do mostly read alouds or unit studies for science and follow a 4 year rotation, how do you organize topics to make it easier to find interesting literature?
