My children and I love everything about this science curriculum!! We love doing an experiment every week, love that it doesn't dumb down concepts yet the explanations are clear, ... love that it encourages discussion, ... has the students involved in the scientific method, and keeps them engaged, learning and doing real science... - Verified Purchase Review ... I was immediately impressed with the concepts they are introducing for this age group. The book covers... Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Geology and Astronomy! All in an age appropriate but not watered down way. - Raising da Vinci - Grade 1 Science I was drawn to Real Science-4-Kids because they teach difficult subjects at an early age. I love that! This curriculum allows our kids to be exposed to chemistry, biology, and physics and develop a love for science. - Faith Filled Parenting

Author Information

"Dr. Rebecca Woodbury Keller received her Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. While home schooling her three children, Dr. Keller was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids. The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. ""We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim,"" states Dr. Keller. ""In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate."" The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum, with its engaging, kid-friendly Student Textbooks; Laboratory Notebooks full of real science experiments; and easy to use Teacher's Manuals, provides kids with a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Keller and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products, including leveled readers and mini books, at the Real Science-4-Kids Albuquerque headquarters."
