Imagine all the elements as the "kitchen cupboard of the universe." It starts out easy enough... but then there is MATH involved toward the end. Patrick's question was whether they made you calculate "moles" in this curriculum. Nope. But we will do valence numbers and Lewis dot diagrams, learn about the Periodic table and memorize the names of many elements. We'll play games, make models and do experiments. I'm going to be learning A LOT with the children this year. Edited to add: I've added this post to the Not Back to School Blog Hop. Check it out! :)

This all looks very complicated! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI'm stopping by from the blog hop, and following with GF. My boys love science so much, this would be right up their alley! I love seeing all the wonderful things that are out there!
