New vs Old Real Science 4 Kids. Help please!

[StephanieZ]

I have a full Real Science 4 Kids set that I am about to list for sale.

 

I am missing the student pages from Chemistry. (We used them, and I didn't repurchase them. I had bought extra sets of the other topics.)

 

Are the new "Laboratory Workbooks" the exact same as the old 3-ring-punched student lab pages? Just bound up instead of 3-ring-punched?

 

I just want to be able to include that info in my listing, because if that is the case, then someone would just need to buy that single $24 item to have a fully workable RS4K set. But, if they aren't the same, or things have changed a lot, then I want to be able to disclose that.

 

My set was purchased back when you bought all three topics together (and the TM is bound in one big book). This was back when there was only the one level. 

 

From what I can see, this one level is what they now call Level 1 (middle school). Is this right? 

 

(These are the ones printed before there WERE levels, so there is no level indication on them.)

 

(I think middle school is a stretch, FWIW. 3-5 grade seems like a better match, IMHO.)

 

Anyhow, can anyone advise me?

 

THANKS!!

Not sure if this is helpful but we have the pre level 1 physics laboratory workbook, purchased about a year ago. It goes experiment by experiment and has 5-15 pages for each experiment. The upper corner of each page says 'experiment 5' or whatever the number. The pages themselves are general workbook pages about the experiments; there are places to draw pictures, questions with answer lines, and so on.

From my comparision, the lab pages are the same. the layout may have changed but not the content. The books themselves have been updated to fix typos, from what I read on the website. The originals are now called Focus on Middle School.

 

HTH!

Excellent! That's what I guessed from previewing the pages on the website, but I wanted to be more confident that the old stuff was still perfectly "usable" before listing it.

 

Thanks!
