Life Science 3-Book Set, 2nd Edition

The 3-Book Set for our Life Science homeschool curriculum for middle school. Includes everything you need to get started; a Textbook, Answer Key & Parent Companion, and Test Booklet.

Developed by physician and homeschool dad Scott Hardin, MD, Science Shepherd's middle school Life Science curriculum is a robust yet easy-to-learn life science-based program for homeschool. Life Science can also be used as an introductory science course for high school students who have not received a lot of science exposure. The curriculum integrates with optional video lessons, workbook, and lab material. With the supplementary teacher information included in the Answer Key & Parent Companion, parents can be involved in their student's learning without needing to be a science expert.
