Grades 1st-4th
REAL Science Odyssey- Earth & Environment Level 1 is a comprehensive, secular homeschool science curriculum. Students learn the key concepts in earth and environmental science through an incremental series of lessons–from the ground beneath their feet to the highest reaches of the atmosphere. Environmental science is also integrated into the course, giving students insight into how living things, including humans, interact with and change the earth. Age-appropriate math and labs are woven in as well, providing students with many opportunities to apply the scientific method and reinforce their knowledge. The course guides elementary-age learners as they Read, Explore, Absorb, and Learn earth science:
- Read– Fun, engaging readings introduce big ideas and details for the chapter. The text is designed to be read aloud to students, fostering questions and discussion.
- Explore–Carefully crafted, hands-on experiments demonstrate how air, water, rocks, and living things interact and give your students practice using the scientific method.
- Absorb– REAL Science engages visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic learners, to help every student understand and retain key concepts.
- Learn– with Earth & Environment Level 1, you don’t just learn about how our planet works, you go outside and investigate it yourself, using the scientific method!
