Introduce students to real science with Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 6 Student Textbook.
Foundational scientific concepts and terminology are presented clearly and in a manner that's easy for kids to understand.
Using this book gives kids a solid base on which to build a further study of science.
This yearlong curriculum contains four chapters each of five scientific disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy, as well as an introduction to the material covered and a concluding chapter, for a total of 22 chapters.
The many graphics in this full color textbook reinforce the concepts presented and make the book fun for kids and teachers alike to read.
A few of the topics covered are: technology used in the scientific disciplines; acids, bases, and chemical reactions; microscopes; protists; fungi; the physics of motion; Earth's layers as a system, the geosphere, and the atmosphere; measuring time; our solar system and other solar systems; collaboration in scientific discovery.
This Student Textbook is accompanied by Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 6 Laboratory Notebook (experiments) and Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 6 Teacher's Manual.

About the Author: Dr.
Keller received her Ph D in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992.
She was then awarded an NSF postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.
As Dr.
Keller home schooled her three children, her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, brought her to a decisive point in her career.
Taking the plunge, she decided to leave academia and develop a series of science books for kids.
Real Science-4-Kids is written as a worldview-neutral curriculum that will.
