In the Acids and Bases leveled reader, fundamental chemistry science facts are explained through easily understood text and colorful illustrations and photographs. Children discover that everything we see, touch, and taste is made of atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter and can link together to make molecules that have different properties.
Acids and bases are two types of molecules that have different properties. Sour molecules, such as those in lemons, are often acids, while molecules that are slippery, such as those in soap, are often bases. Acid molecules contain an "H" group made of one hydrogen atom. Base molecules contain an "OH" group made of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. "H" groups and "OH" groups give acids and bases their different properties.
A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5. Lexile measure 450L.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Dr. Rebecca Woodbury has explored how students learn for over two decades. Starting as a research scientist in the field of biophysical chemistry, she left academia to create quality educational support materials for students and educators. She started Gravitas Publications Inc. in 2003 and introduced the Real Science-4-Kids product line for home educators. Dr. Woodbury has been dedicated to continually improving and enhancing the Real Science-4-Kids books over the years. In 2020, she took a significant step forward by introducing RATATAZ. This innovative learning model seamlessly blends in-depth knowledge content with student-driven inquiries. Furthermore, it emphasizes project-based learning, ensuring that students not only consume information but also apply it practically. Additionally, RATATAZ focuses on retrieval practice, ensuring students can readily recall and utilize what they've learned. It's a comprehensive approach designed for optimal student engagement and retention.In 2021, Dr. Woodbury went back to graduate school to learn more about curriculum and instructional design from an educators perspective. She completed her M.Ed. in the spring of 2024. Through this endeavor, Dr. Woodbury has gained significant insight into how students learn, best practices for curriculum design, and effective assessments. Our updated Science series, new Reader series and RATATAZ kits demonstrate this new information. In December of 2023, Dr. Woodbury relocated her team to Tempe, AZ. In the new location, Gravitas Publications Inc. will be able to better serve both homeschool parents and school educators.
