Real Science-4-Kids Chemistry Level 1 Student Text

This book explains a lot of chemistry in a fun, simple, way. Excellent to read, especially if you are a beginner and want to know a lot. This book is one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read!

As a home school mom, I was looking for something that would be easy to use, understandable for my upper elementary-jr. high kids, and have experiments that used simple items found around the house. This text was perfect. The teacher's manual explained how to give the information and how to conduct the experiments. The lower level Chemistry is great for my 2nd grader too, and follows the same information chapter by chapter that the 2 older children are doing.

I bought this for my 3rd grade son, who is homeschooled. He loves science and I was a chemistry major in college. I do believe that you do NOT need a science background to teach well from this series. We are loving every minute. The curriculum does a wonderful job of bring complex topics down to a level that upper elementary children can understand. Use the lab book- it really cements the understanding of the topics and it is FUN! We had 2 other kids over when we did the marsh mellow experiment and they loved it! (neither one had read the lesson so we had to explain it to them- but it went over well!) This is a secular curricula, so for those who feel they want a religious based science curricula this may not be the one.

Ive really enjoyed this book. Currently I am using it to teach 17 3rd-6th graders in a homeschool co-op.

Excellent presentation of High School and College Chemistry at the level elementary students can understand.
Way cool Chemistry experiments to go with each Chapter of the book. The student labatory worksheets are available along with the teacher's manual from the publisher's website: [...]
