Dr. Keller Bio

In 2001 Dr. Rebecca W. Keller began to develop a formalized training program to equip non-science teachers (usually other moms) to feel comfortable with the material. Today, Real Science-4-Kids, with its easy-to-use teacher-friendly manuals and engaging, kid-friendly text, is in 50 states as well as Australia, Canada, Japan and Korea. Dr. Keller’s team continues to develop and test products. She is introducing Kogs-4-KidsTM, an interdisciplinary curricula program, in Spring 2008. Dr. Keller didn’t set out to be an author. A former research assistant professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, Dr. Keller worked in the molecular biology field. Her background in biophysics, molecular biology and neuroscience, coupled with her love of the dramatic led her to prepare interesting “labs” for her children and neighbors. “Science is fun,” she says. A home-school mom, she developed Real Science-4-Kids after searching for a science curriculum that taught solid science concepts in a manner understandable for youngsters.
