Unit:  Set
Introduce elementary students to physical and chemical properties with 6 exciting experiments!

Microwaving mac and cheese will never be the same once students learn about changes that occur during chemical processes like heating and cooling! This kit introduces young learners to chemistry for kids. Students will excitedly engage in elementary chemistry lessons as they discover myriad chemical reactions taking place between everyday objects. They'll use critical thinking and observation skills as they study the structures and properties of matter using pennies, nails, yeast, and colorful volcanoes! Kit accommodates a full class (approximately 24 students) working in small groups. See full contents list below. Recommended for Elementary.

Next Generation Science Standards*:

  • 2-PS1-1: Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
  • 2-PS1-2: Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.
  • 2-PS1-3: Make observations to explain how the properties of materials determine their usefulness in different contexts.
  • 2-PS1-4: Construct an argument with evidence to support the claim that different substances combine to form new materials with different properties.
  • 5-PS1-1: Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
  • 5-PS1-2: Measure and graph the changes in states of matter as the temperature changes, and analyze the cause of the changes.
  • 5-PS1-3: Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties, such as color, texture, and solubility.
  • 5-PS1-4: Conduct an investigation to explore how different materials can be combined or separated, demonstrating reversible and irreversible changes.
