Real Science-4-Kids is the logical approach to science education you’ve been looking for.
This sequential methodology teaches the mechanisms and terminology that professional scientists utilize, and presents the information at an appropriate and digestible pace for students of all skill levels. Whether you are looking for a year-long curriculum or a semester unit study, we have a course that is right for you.
“It’s really adaptable if you have multiple ages working together. I love the way these are written out. These textbooks are set up perfect to help kids learn study skills.”
The Focus On Science Series is a semester-long unit study that encourages kids to focus on one subject at a time. It’s offered for an age range of either elementary or middle school. The Focus On Science Series is based on a ‘block’ teaching method, where focused learning is condensed to a shorter ‘block’ of time. It was purposed for those parents and teachers who want to sequence their own science program, and for those who want a solid introductory level science course. The Focus On Science Series is also beneficial for a student with an inherent interest in one particular area of science, since one subject at a time is presented.
Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Series is a year-long program that integrates the 5 core disciplines of science into one book for each grade. It’s based on a nourishing upward-spiral teaching method where disciplines are repeatedly visited and built upon over months and across grades. This method was chosen because it is proven to lead to better long-term mastery of facts and concepts. Spiral learning is effective for all learners, including struggling learners, and is the first research-based recommendation in a practice guide from the U. S. Department of Education’s Institute of Educational Sciences
Real Science-4-Kids also offers an introduction to science through literature. Tess and the Mystery Rock is a storybook about an inquisitive, budding scientist. Follow Tess as she learns to ask questions and follow the scientific method. Perform experiments and document your own findings in the optional field notebook!
"This is a complete science curriculum, with well-thought-out labs that go along with the text. My kid loves the labs and is learning rapidly from the books! The labs are easy to set up as a parent, and there is a clear sequence to follow that won't bore a gifted child. The material is dense, but presented very well. " - CJ, Co-op Member
