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).

Need extra support? Download optional lesson plans, study notebooks, or 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!
