The Level I Chemistry Student Textbook is an elementary text for grades 4-6 that introduces students to the scientific discipline of chemistry. Students will learn about atoms, molecules, bonding, chemical reactions, acids and bases, pH, mixtures, polymers, and DNA. Level I Chemistry expands on the concepts introduced in the Pre-Level I Chemistry Student Textbook and also introduces additional chemistry concepts. The Level I Chemistry Student Textbook has 10 full color chapters.

Introduce early learners to real science with the Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 1 Student Textbook. Foundational scientific concepts and terminology are presented clearly and in a manner that’s easy for kids to understand. Using this book gives kids a solid base on which to build a further study of science. This year-long curriculum contains four chapters of each of five scientific disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy, as well as an introduction to the material covered and a concluding chapter for a total of 22 chapters. The many graphics in this full color textbook reinforce the concepts presented and make the book fun for kids and teachers alike to read. This Student Textbook is accompanied by Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 1 Laboratory Notebook (experiments) and Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 1 Teacher’s Manual. Other supplemental materials are available at www.realscience4kids.com.

The Focus On Elementary Physics Student Textbook introduces young students to the scientific discipline of physics. Students will learn about force, work, kinds of energy, inertia, friction, mass, chemical energy, electricity, electrons, magnets and magnetic force, light and sound waves, conservation of energy, and more.The Focus On Elementary Physics Student Textbook has ten full-color chapters. Grades K-4.

The Focus On Elementary Chemistry Laboratory Workbook accompanies the Focus On Elementary Chemistry Student Textbook. The Laboratory Workbook has 10 hands-on chemistry experiments that include making careful observations about the characteristics of a variety of objects, making models of molecules, mixing food items to observe chemical reactions, using an indicator to test for acidity and basicity, observing what happens when similar and dissimilar liquids are mixed, exploring techniques for separating mixtures, observing how a chemical reaction can change the properties of polymers, an introduction to enzymes, and more.The Focus On Elementary Chemistry Laboratory Workbook contains 10 black and white chapters. Grades K-4.

The Pre-Level I Chemistry Laboratory Workbook includes ten hands-on experiments that incorporate the chemistry concepts found in the student text. The experiments include an introduction to atoms and molecules, an introduction to acid/base chemistry, mixtures, polymer chemistry and an introduction to proteins and DNA. The experiments are teacher directed and require the Pre-Level I Chemistry Teacher's Manual.
