Science Quest: The Human Body is an immersive exploration of cells, organs, and systems that function together in extraordinary ways. How do our bodies make sense of the world through sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch? Why do we have bones? How do muscles do the heavy lifting in the body? Chew the fat about cholesterol. Watch your blood platelets in action. Follow a food journey right to the (ahem) end. From the roots of healthy hair to the secrets of the largest organ—our skin—experience the astonishing realm of the body 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!
