Category Description for R.E.A.L. Earth & Environment
Written as an alternative to the R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Earth & Space Science, this is a one semester course (25 weeks) that includes some of the topics from Earth & Space along with a good variety of environmental topics (i.e. global warming and climate change) and scientific modeling. The number of lessons vary from 1 to 3 for each topic: a study of three of Earth's "spheres," weather, climate, the environment, erosion, and plate tectonics, the age of the earth and forces that shape it, current pollution and environmental issues that affect water, land, and air, and rocks and minerals. Using plenty of hands-on activities, this new addition to the series is sure to be a hit. Most supplies are household items, but you'll need a few special things – inflatable globe, science thermometer, and a rock and mineral kit. We have assembled a kit that is specific to the R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Earth & Space and the same can be used for this course. 318 pgs, pb. ~ Donna

Just Right
This was exactly what I needed. Somehow I missed the list of required rocks when planning for this curriculum at the start of our year. Rainbow Resources to the rescue! It has everything I needed in one place. Fast shipping and very reasonable price!

Perfect for R.E.A.L. Science labs!
Rainbow Resource Center has done a great service by gathering all of the materials for the rocks and minerals labs so I don't have to, all in a good quality box that's easy to store!

Love this!
We really love this rock kit! Only problem was the samples weren't in listed order and several of the numbers on the stickers had rubbed off, which lead to a little initial investigation work, but that part was fun too.

Great Product; Better Packaging Required
If you use R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey then this is the easiest way to get the rocks you need to do the experiments as set out in the book. The samples were a good size and had everything required - even the coin required (important for me since we live outside the US). My only complaint is that I feel the rock samples themselves should have been better protected for postage (perhaps tissues put in each compartment?). Some of them broke and chipped during the shipping process, which was disappointing.
