(Textbook, Student Pages, Teacher Pages)
Real Science-4-Kids Science Book 5 marks the beginning of the Middle School Series, guiding students into a more rigorous, concept-driven study of science. This is where learners take their first serious step into advanced science—starting exactly where it should: with atoms.
Unlike traditional programs that delay core ideas, RS4K introduces atomic theory, chemical bonding, and molecular structure right away. From this foundation, students spiral outward into biology, physics, geology, and astronomy—making meaningful connections across disciplines and building a framework for high school and beyond.
What’s Inside the Set
