OK, I shall step in it...

The best advice I can give is: I don't think "non-fiction books about
bioinformatics or molecular engineering to improve health" are really
suited to elementary school students.

Hello everyone!
Could anybody recommend some nonfiction books for elementary students
(and their teachers) that might serve as good precursors to visiting a
science center?  Specifically, we are looking for books that would
relate to gallery experiences involving 1) biological building blocks,
networks, and pathways; 2) bioinformatics (huge numbers, patterns in
numbers and data, patterns related to health); and 3) nanomedicine
(molecular engineering to improve health).
We have designed workshops around these themes and wanted to give
recommendations to teachers to better prepare them for their visit
should they reserve these programs for their students.  Your advice is
greatly appreciated!
