Elementary Science Experiment Workbook
Elementary Science Experiment Workbook (Science Books 1–4)
Hands-On Science That Builds Curiosity
The Elementary Science Experiment Workbook is the perfect companion to Science Books 1–4, giving young learners a chance to discover, test, and explore science with their own hands. Each experiment is aligned to the RS4K chapters, making abstract ideas fun, memorable, and concrete.
Instead of passively reading, students become scientists in training—asking questions, making predictions, and recording results. These activities build confidence and spark curiosity, while giving kids the tools to think critically about the world around them.
