Science Book 1
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.
