Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Publisher's Description of Real Science 4 Kids - Book 2 Package

Builds on the solid foundation established in Book 1, guiding students deeper into scientific thinking with a fresh focus on tools, processes, and patterns across all five core disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy.

This year-long curriculum spans 22 richly illustrated chapters that bring real science into sharper focus. Students are introduced to the tools scientists use—from microscopes and telescopes to models, robotics, and geology hammers—while exploring how these tools help us understand and measure the world. The atoms-first spiral model continues, reinforcing earlier concepts while adding complexity and relevance.

Students will:

  • Investigate acids, bases, and chemical reactions through hands-on explorations.
  • Study protists, fungi, and food molecules in biology, using observation as a central scientific practice.
  • Analyze motion and forces in physics, including linear and nonlinear motion.
  • Explore Earth’s systems—the atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere—as interconnected parts of our planet.
  • Use telescopes and sky charts to navigate the solar system and constellations, expanding their view of the universe.

Throughout the book, students revisit key scientific ideas in more detail, connecting topics across fields to see how science operates as a system. By learning how scientists observe, measure, and model, students sharpen their ability to think critically and ask deeper questions.

Category Description for Real Science 4 Kids Curriculum

Real Science 4 Kids Science is the newest science program from Gravitas Publications. Similar in content to Exploring the Building Blocks of Science, the author introduces chemistry first, followed by biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. The beautiful hardcover textbook presents complex science concepts in a way kids will understand. Textbooks are written at a slightly advanced reading level so parents should be reading the text with the student if using the books corresponding to the grade level - unless the student can read and comprehend the text independently. Throughout the textbook are engaging illustrations, chapter summaries, and pronunciation for science vocabulary.

Student and teacher pages are available separately. Student pages include a study notebook with fun activities to go with each chapter and hands-on labs that correlate with specific chapters. Some of the activity pages require students to cut and glue to make a layered mini book. Teacher pages include lesson plans, mid-term and final quizzes, and answers to the student notebook. A Digital Library subscription is also available, which gives you access to all grade levels of texts, PDF student and teacher resources, and a full Science Library of early readers for science.
