Complete ScienceSmart (New Edition) is a workbook series that covers the essentials of elementary science and includes all four strands of the Science curriculum. Each book provides students with succinct information and engaging activities to help them master the basic concepts of science and technology, relate science and technology to society and the environment, and develop the skills needed for scientific inquiry. The hands-on experiment sections help students investigate and grasp a better understanding of science concepts. In addition, the QR codes in each book provide quick and easy links to encourage students to further explore science concepts and enrich their learning experience. Along with "Scientists at Work", "Cool Science Facts", and "Trivia Questions", the fun and manageable exercises and activities not only help students consolidate and master what they have learned in school, but also stimulate their interest in learning science.

Connect students in grades 6–8 with science using Life Science Quest for Middle Grades. This 96-page book helps students practice scientific techniques while studying cells, plants, animals, DNA, heredity, ecosystems, and biomes. The activities use common classroom materials and are perfect for individual, team, and whole-group projects. The book includes a glossary, standards lists, unit overviews, and enrichment suggestions. It is great as core curriculum or a supplement and supports National Science Education Standards.
