An introduction to chemistry for grades 4-8

 

The kids were 2nd & 4th, 6th & 8th when I taught them with Ellen McHenry's Chemistry program "The Elements : Ingredients of the Universe."  They LOVED it!  There are so many hands-on projects and the explanations make Chemistry seem EASY even for the younger ones (although I'm just hoping for exposure for the 2nd & 4th graders they're really getting a lot out of it.) She lets you view the entire first chapter to see if it's a good fit for you.  It's one of my FAVORITE pieces of curriculum.

A fairy tale about the Periodic Table?! What will Ellen think up next?!
 

This was such a fun program and the kids learned so much, that I didn't feel like I needed to add anything to their science this year.  That's almost a first that I don't supplement with something!
