Middle School Science from Elemental Science
We offer several lines of middle school science programs for your students. Each of these series has its own unique features. Here is a quick look at our different series:
What our middle school science programs include
All of our programs include:
- Weekly experiments;
- Reading plans with discussion questions;
- Schedules and lots of teacher guidance;
- Plus, customized student materials for your students to record what they have learned.
In short, all of our programs include the three keys to teaching science expertly planned out for you!
Middle School Science Courses
The Classical Science Series
Our award-winning Classical Science Series explores an area of science over a full school year. These programs use additional children's encyclopedias to foster independent learning in your logic stage student.
The teacher guide contains the materials, answers, and tips you will need to guide your student through their year of learning. The student guide includes all the weekly assignments and customized pages the student will need to complete for the year. We also have put together experiment kits to make finding the materials for the experiments in the program super easy!
The programs in this series make teaching science within the classical model super easy!
Middle School Programs in the Classical Science Series
- Biology for the Logic Stage
- Earth Science & Astronomy for the Logic Stage
- Chemistry for the Logic Stage
- Physics for the Logic Stage
Story-based Science: SciQuest Series
A perfect next chapter after your Sassafras adventures! The SciQuest series brings the same story-driven joy to middle school with richer, stand-alone middle-grade novels packed with homeschooling hijinks and plenty of humor.
Below is the typical progression, but you can feel free to mix and match to suit your family's needs. (Note: The odd levels—100, 300, 500, and 700—study biology and earth science. The even levels—200, 400, 600, and 800—study chemistry and physics.)
- 5th: SciQuest 100 Milo's Mission and SciQuest 200 Addy's Adventure
- More Coming Soon...
The middle-grade novels launch each lesson with heart and laughs. The instructor guides gently support your student as they grow toward independent learning (in a super easy-to-use format). And the student journals provide all the customized notebooking pages they’ll need to make their science journey feel uniquely theirs.
Standard Middle School Science Courses
The following courses follow a more traditional textbook-style approach to middle school science.
These programs use the free, online textbooks from CK-12. In the self-study guides, you will find textbook assignments, experiment information, and current events homework. Plus, there are optional hands-on activities along with schedules for two different courses: a hands-on course and a digital course.
These courses are written to the student with the teacher acting as more of a facilitator so there is only one book.
Available Courses

The Science Chunks Series
Our Science Chunks series makes it possible for you to teach science in bite-sized chunks! You can pick and choose the subjects that your students want to learn about with these 4- to 12-week-long units.
Each of these digital unit study guides includes a reading plan that is broken up into weekly lessons and all the templates and pictures you need to create a beautiful lapbook or notebook on the subject. Plus, each lesson also includes vocabulary, a list of additional books, and coordinating science activities.
These unit studies are a great way to review concepts for your middle school students or they can be used as a jumping-off point for deeper studies. (Note - If your students are in 7th or 8th grade, we recommend using one of our logic stage programs or one of the SciQuest Science levels instead.)
