Know Your Body Book Series Part 1: A Fun Tool for Homeschool Science
Do you really know your body? Let’s find out together!
Welcome back to Making Everyday Magic! My name is Shanna, and if you’re new here, we’re a homeschooling family of four. This is our eighth year of homeschooling, and we’re gearing up for the 2024-2025 school year with a 7th grader and a 3rd grader. Today, I’m excited to share with you the first part of the Know Your Body book series, included in the seventh-grade Timberdoodle curriculum kit.

Introducing the Know Your Body Book Series
The Know Your Body book set is an amazing tool for helping kids learn about how their bodies function. These books are specifically designed for kids aged 10 and up, making them perfect for upper elementary through high school. The first set covers three key systems: the respiratory, nervous, and circulatory systems. These topics are so vital for building a foundational understanding of human anatomy.
If you’ve seen my reviews of the Dr. Bonafide series, these books are the next step up—offering more in-depth content and suited for older students. They’re packed with colorful graphics, fun activities, and even some hands-on science projects to help kids grasp complex concepts in an engaging way.

Award-Winning Curriculum Resources
These books are not just well-crafted, they’re also award-winning! The Know Your Body series has earned accolades such as the Nautilus Award, Homeschooling Awards, and Parenting Choice Awards. It’s always comforting to know that these materials are recognized for their educational value. This set, in collaboration with Dr. Vanessa, includes everything from detailed diagrams to interactive checkpoints that make learning the human body fun and memorable.
Why Knowing Your Body Matters
In today’s world, understanding the basics of how our bodies work is more important than ever. Whether it’s helping your children make informed decisions about their health, or sparking an interest in a future career in healthcare or science, these books are a great resource.
One of the things I love about homeschooling is the freedom to choose high-quality materials like these. Teaching kids how their bodies work isn’t just about checking off a science requirement—it’s about empowering them to take care of themselves. From hygiene to understanding the effects of lifestyle choices, knowledge about the body can lead to healthier habits and better life decisions.
Interactive and Engaging Content
These books aren’t just about reading; they’re about doing. With workbook-style layouts, your kids can engage in fun facts, fill-in-the-blank sections, and even color pages that complement the lessons. For example, there’s a coloring page for the circulatory system, which helps kids visualize how blood moves through the body. The nervous system section includes fill-in-the-blank activities, while the respiratory system even has a science experiment and recipe that ties into the lesson—so cool, right?
Plus, if your child has ever used a nebulizer, this book does an amazing job explaining how it works, turning an everyday item into a learning opportunity.
Perfect for Homeschool Science
The Know Your Body series is part of Timberdoodle’s seventh-grade curriculum, but you can also purchase these books separately if you want to add them to your homeschooling toolkit. They’re a fantastic way to supplement your homeschool science curriculum, especially if you want to give your kids a deeper understanding of the human body.
These books cover complex topics like the respiratory, nervous, and circulatory systems in a way that’s both accessible and fun for kids. Whether your child is dreaming of becoming a doctor, a zoologist, or even a dance teacher, understanding the body’s systems will give them a solid foundation for whatever path they choose.
Conclusion
The Know Your Body book series is a must-have resource for homeschool families who want to provide their kids with engaging and interactive science content. With its fun activities, science experiments, and detailed explanations, it’s a wonderful way to help kids learn about the human body.
If you’re homeschooling or just want to help your kids learn more about how their bodies work, I highly recommend checking out these books. You can find them included in Timberdoodle’s seventh-grade curriculum kit or as a standalone set on their website. Happy homeschooling!
