Chemistry Pre-Level I

We absolutely love this book. The pictures are wonderful - colorful and cute. My kids love the silly faces on the different atoms. Even my 4-yr-old will say "look, there's sodium attaching to chlorine", because he remembers which color and face goes with which atom. The book itself is hardbound and the pages are bright and glossy. All around beautiful book. This is not baby chemistry - it's advanced stuff but written in a way kids can understand. We're really enjoying the things we're learning and most importantly, they're retaining it. You do need the teacher's manual and student text in order to get the lab stuff. Or if you're really creative you could make up labs on your own. I bought 1 student book and the kids verbally tell me their thoughts and observations. The publisher does give permission to photocopy the student labs as well, so that can save you some money. My only complaint is that the book is so short. I wanted this to last a year, but we got done in 2 months. I will be using all of her books. I think it is the best science program out there *taken from my review at goodreads

My 9YO son wants to be aeronautical engineer and decided he wanted to start studying NOW! He needs to study Physics and Chemistry. I searched everywhere for age appropriate books for him and these were the only ones I could find. When we received them, I was thrilled to see they were exactly what we needed. He loves reading them, they are entertaining and easily understood. It's been great revision for me, and I'm learning new things too! It's wonderful to have books from which to teach your kids that are fun. I highly recommend them for kids 7-12.

Homeschooling an extremely intelligent and inquisitive 6-year-old is a challenge to say the least. Most science curricula created for elementary age kids is extremely simplistic, vague, and sometimes even dead wrong. Kudos to Dr. Keller for creating a chemistry book that my son eagerly looked forward to working with each week - he loved it so much that we breezed through the whole book in less than 4 months. My son learned enough about chemistry that he wowed his physician grandfather with a good grasp acids/bases, molecular structure and atomic symbols.

My son is in grade 1 ( and reading) and is able to understand the concepts in this book. He finds it very interesting and was asking about more books like this.

Since the day we received this book, my 1st grader has not been able to put it down! This is a terrific book to start your elementary students on science! We will continue with the entire elementary series! Many thanks to Dr. R.W. Keller! Well done. RJ FLORIDA
