Science Quest: Plants and Fungi is an immersive encounter with more than 20 representatives of a group of living organisms essential to animal life. How do plants and fungi receive nutrients? How do they reproduce? How do some plants escape predators and “hunt” prey, all while rooted to one spot? Admire the useful baobab tree. Discover the world’s hottest chilli peppers. And join the hunt for the black truffle. From the tiny to the towering, from garden to wilderness, experience the eye-opening world of plants and fungi as never before!

The Science Quest series uses engaging stories in comic form to present concepts from the latest science education syllabus and beyond. The content comprises a variety of scenarios to showcase real-life relevance. The series includes feature articles with amazing facts and photographs to enrich the reader’s experience. Science Quest is a collaborative publishing project between DC Canada Education Publishing and Singapore World Science Education. We share a belief in the wonders of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and knowledge, and its power to grow young minds. We assembled scientists, academics, field experts, and writers to make STEM accessible and engaging for children with diverse interests. Unlock the mysteries of science, one quest at a time!
