Review: A necessity : If you plan to do the experiments from this series the teachers manual is absolutely needed. Some programs can be taught without the teachers manual this isn't one of them. The lab workbook is useless without the teacer's manual. I really like this series. It's makes science fun and easy to teach with or without a strong understanding of the subject. Real Science 4 Real Kids was a godsend for us and our homeschooling program. We did experiments and read books but that didn't seem to end in any real understanding. This program changed that. This teacher's manual is wonderful. As with any lesson read through the lesson before presenting it. The list of materials can be adapted. I didn't like using marshmallows to build molecules so we used play dough (lesson two). We achieved the same understanding without having to have a bag of junk food in the house.
