Real Science-4-Kids: Book 3
So your child knows what science is (Book 1) and how scientists work (Book 2). Now it’s time to roll up those sleeves—because in Book 3, your student puts science to work.
In Real Science-4-Kids Book 3, we shift the focus from learning about science to using it in meaningful, real-world ways. This book helps your child take everything they’ve learned so far and apply it to problem-solving, predictions, and everyday thinking. What happens when chemicals mix? How do simple machines help us? What can layers of rock tell us about Earth’s past? This isn’t just theory—it’s science in action!
With clear explanations, vivid illustrations, and no fluff, Book 3 invites your child to think like a scientist and act like one—analyzing, predicting, observing, and drawing conclusions across all five core disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy.
Still no required experiments, no complicated setups, and no guilt. But if your child is itching to try something hands-on, you can head to the RS4K Experiment Hub and download easy, optional activities that won’t take over your kitchen (or your schedule).
Want extra support? We include the optional, downloadable lesson plans, study notebook, and quizzes to add structure or tailor the curriculum to your teaching style.
Why Book 3 is a hit with homeschoolers:
- Emphasizes applying science to real-life situations
- Builds logic, confidence, and critical thinking
- Keeps learning moving forward—no experiments required
- Encourages independence and scientific thinking
With Real Science-4-Kids Book 3, your child won’t just know science—he’ll use it to understand and explore the world around him. It’s practical, powerful, and just plain fun. Let’s go use some science!
Book 3 Student Pages
Book 3 invites students to tackle the big stuff—electricity, DNA, water systems, galaxies—and to connect those dots across every branch of science. These Student Pages lead kids through drawing, diagramming, and experimenting with structure and purpose. They're practicing thinking like scientists, all while keeping learning accessible.
(All worksheets are already included with the text as downloads, but this printed version is perfect for families who prefer paper notebooks to printer jams.)
Book 3 Teacher Pages
Now we're getting serious (and seriously cool). Book 3 Teacher Pages dive into polymers, DNA, electricity, water cycles, and galaxies—with the same smart structure you love: four-day lesson plans, notebook keys, optional RATATAZ experiments, and quizzes. This is where your child starts connecting the dots across chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. You'll watch that little spark of curiosity turn into true scientific thinking. It's big-kid science with real-world wow.
If you already have the digital version with your student book, this print copy gives you the same organized tools in a format you can keep beside your coffee cup or in your co-op bag. Totally optional—but often compelling for parents who prefer paper in hand.
