Start with a heart-warming stand-alone novel, add in plenty of belly laughs, and end up with memorable middle school science!
If you love living books but have been searching for something more substantial for your middle schooler, the SciQuest Science series is for you.
Each semester-long program incorporates a wonder-filled middle-grade novel packed with homeschooling adventures and hilarious moments.
These stand-alone middle-grade novels serve as the perfect springboard into real science — launching engaging lessons with hands-on experiments, thoughtful discussion questions, and customized notebooking pages.
This is science that sparks curiosity, helps facts stick, and gently guides your student toward independent learning — all while keeping the joy alive.
A perfect follow-up to the Sassafras Science series! SciQuest brings the same story-driven fun to middle school while building deeper scientific understanding for your 10- to 14-year-olds.
