Book 1 Science Kit
The hands-on experiment supplies for Science Book 1, packed and ready in one box. Materials only.
The Book 1 Science Kit gathers every supply your child needs for the experiments in Science Book 1. No supply lists to hunt down and no last-minute store runs, just a few common household items to add. Open the box, open the book, and start exploring.
Part of the Real Science 4 Kids Science Book Kits program: every experiment in the book, every supply in the box. See how the kits work and browse the full lineup on the Science Book Kits page.
What's in the box, and what's in the book
This kit is materials only. It holds the physical supplies for the hands-on experiments. You read each chapter in Science Book 1, then use the supplies in this kit to do the matching experiment. The experiment instructions and student lab pages are not printed in the box; they come from any of the sources below. A few common household items are also not included and must be parent or instructor supplied.
Where the instructions and student lab pages come from
The step-by-step experiment instructions and student lab pages are available in more than one format, so you can use whichever you already have:
- The Book 1 Student Pages
- The Book 1 Digital Teaching Dashboard, available as a variant on the Science Book 1 product page
- The Elementary Science Experiment Workbook (Science Books 1 through 4)
- Our Experiments page
More in the box. More at the table.
This kit packs 140 hands-on pieces across 39 items, real tools included: petri dishes with nutrient agar, a magnifying glass, a rock and mineral collection kit, a glass dual-scale thermometer, pipettes, safety goggles, a stopwatch, and more. That means more experiments, more discovery, and more opportunities to work like a real scientist.
Batch-Summer: open now through August 5th. Ships by August 14th.
Our kits are built by hand in small batches. You are not buying off a shelf, you are reserving a spot in the next build. Building in batches lets us source the best materials and pack every kit with care. Order by August 5th to be included in this build. If you miss this window, you are first in line for Batch-Fall. Order today.
