Real Science, no kidding!

I've been searching for some time for a "real" science course for my home-schooled children. There is a plethora of experiment books, but very little in the way of systematic course instruction. Traditional texts are geared toward the classroom setting and often jump from one area to another without much depth on any particular topic. This series is excellent, providing age-appropriate instruction using correct terminology, but explained in an age-appropriate manner (Pre-Level 1 for K-3, Level 1 for 4-6, Level 2 for 7-9). The textbooks are hardbound, with beautifully colored illustrations on heavy, glossy paper. The lab workbooks are well-written; the author has provided a framework and indicators of what the students are to watch for and what to record from their observations. I've found that a blank lab report has been very difficult for my children to fill in - as beginners, they needed some direction as to what important, as well as exactly they should be looking for and what to write. This sets the stage and prepares them for the more advanced work that will be expected in high school or college-level courses; they are in essence learning and practicing the observational and recording skills they will need later, as well as learning the chemistry (or physics or biology).
