Chemistry Level I

As a home school mom, I was looking for something that would be easy to use, understandable for my upper elementary-jr. high kids, and have experiments that used simple items found around the house. This text was perfect. The teacher's manual explained how to give the information and how to conduct the experiments. The lower level Chemistry is great for my 2nd grader too, and follows the same information chapter by chapter that the 2 older children are doing.

I am using this book to teach a study club with girls ages 8-12. I am very pleased with the format, it is easy for all of us to use. Teacher prep. time is minimal. The other instructor has a strong background in chemistry so at first we relied on her but that background is not necessary to sucessfully use this material. I appreciate that although the text is simplified for the age group it still uses proper terminology and is not "dumbed down". The page layout is attractive and easy to sort out. (Not too much crammed into the pages.) Because we have the time and flexibility we do add related experiments from other sources but the provided lab work stands on its own very well.

Excellent presentation of High School and College Chemistry at the level elementary students can understand. Way cool Chemistry experiments to go with each Chapter of the book. The student labatory worksheets are available along with the teacher's manual from the publisher's website: [...]

I learned more teaching my child using Real Science-4-Kids than I did in my high school chemistry class. The text is bright and colorful, and the lessons are explained in an understandable manner, using correct terminology. The text is great as a reference tool, but be sure to buy the Teacher's Manual and Lab sheets from the publisher for maximum benefit if teaching children!!
