Science Education is Stuck in the 17th Century. We have the 21st-Century Map.

We pave the way starting with Atoms.

The Atoms-First Revolution

We replace confusion with clarity. By starting with the fundamental model of atoms, students build a logical framework that makes all science, from biology to physics, intuitively understandable. We don't just simplify science; we reveal its inherent logic.

Dr. Rebecca Woodbury, founder of Gravitas Publications Inc., has over two decades of experience in science education. With a background in biophysical chemistry, she created the Real Science-4-Kids product line in 2003 to support home educators. In 2020, she introduced RATATAZ, an innovative learning model that combines in-depth content with student-driven inquiries and project-based learning. Dr. Woodbury recently completed her M.Ed. in curriculum and instructional design, further enhancing her educational materials. She relocated her team to Tempe, AZ, in 2023 to better serve both homeschool parents and school educators.

The books are so well-produced, colorful, and the drawings are fun and informative...

We have used the text as a read-aloud where the girls get the opportunity to practice reading as we explore each chapter together. I don’t have a background in science, but I have been empowered to offer the children a robust, organized, well-rounded science education. I love learning along with the girls and I feel so relieved to have explanations for how things work and why. Sabrina; Homeschool Mom, 2023

All of our Science Books Start with Atoms!

Learning about atoms is fundamental for all science, so our program begin with chemistry - the science of atoms. Chemistry developed a bad reputation as an overly hard science, but only because it is usually not introduced well. If done, right, chemistry is easy and fun to learn. More importantly, chemistry is like the master key that unlocks all other areas of science, making them easier to learn!
