Actually, the report on the Seeds of Science program effectiveness at
<http://seedsofscience.org/PDFs/CRESST_Final_Report.pdf>
looks extensive.

Perhaps what is needed is for someone to develop a physics reading
program for grades 2 through 6.  It could amount to something as simple
as a set of exercises in which pupils are asked in writing to make a
prediction and then try it and see what happens.
=============================================================

Some programs that do this to some extent are:

Seeds of Science/Roots of Reading
http://seedsofscience.org/

FOSS Science Stories
http://lawrencehallofscience.org/foss/components/k6/k6stories.html

Science and Technology for Children Books
http://www.nsrconline.org/curriculum_resources/science_readers.html
