REAL Science Odyssey – Chemistry (Pandia Press)

REAL Science Odyssey – Chemistry (Level 1) from Pandia Press is an introductory chemistry curriculum that combines readable lessons with micro-scale labs, notebooking, and plenty of review questions. Written directly to the student, it walks kids through matter, atoms, molecules, and simple reactions using experiments that can be done safely at home. Parents appreciate the clear supply lists, open-and-go lesson structure, and secular, inquiry-friendly tone. It’s a paid program, but because it includes a full year of text and labs, many families find it strong value for elementary and middle-grade chem.
