Launch your science journey with Real Science-4-Kids Science Book 1-a full-year, elementary-level curriculum that introduces students to the five core scientific disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This engaging, beautifully illustrated textbook brings science to life with real scientific vocabulary, vivid examples, and a conceptual approach that begins where science truly starts: with the atom.
Rather than waiting to introduce core scientific ideas, Science Book 1 follows the RS4K "atoms-first" model, laying the groundwork for long-term scientific understanding. Students explore how atoms form molecules, how molecules interact, and how those interactions build the natural world-all before diving into biology, energy, Earth systems, and the solar system.
With 22 chapters, this book covers:Chemistry: Atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions-presented in a way young learners can truly understand.
Biology: Life classification, cell structures, and microorganisms like bacteria and archaea.
Physics: Force, work, and energy-plus how we store, release, and transfer it.
Geology: Earth's layers, rocks, dirt, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
Astronomy: The moon, planets, tides, eclipses, and the work of early and modern astronomers.
Interactive and integrative: The curriculum revisits and connects ideas across chapters, helping learners see how everything in science is interrelated-preparing them to think like scientists, not just memorize facts.
Whether you're teaching one student or many, Science Book 1 offers a flexible, foundational science experience that equips learners with both conceptual understanding and scientific confidence. This is real science-made accessible, age-appropriate, and exciting.
