Description

Class Experience

A detailed description of each session's learning goals is listed below:

Session 1: Hydrogen (1) to Neon (10) 
Students will learn about:
- Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons)
- The origin of atoms in the Big Bang, stars and supernovas
- Specific properties, forms and uses of Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon and Oxygen
- Unique molecular properties of water and carbon-based molecules that support formation of life
- Electron orbitals and the importance of the valence (outer) electron shell
- Structure of the Periodic Table of Elements based on electron shell levels

Session 2: Sodium (11) to Argon (18)
Students will learn about:  
- Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons)
- Properties, forms and uses of Row 3 atoms
- Ionic and covalent molecular bonding 
- Electron orbitals and the importance of the valence (outer) electron shell
- Structure of the Periodic Table of Elements based on electron shell levels

Session 3: Potassium (19) to Krypton (36)
Students will learn about:
- Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons)
- Ionic and covalent molecular bonding 
- Properties, forms and uses of Rows 4 & 5 atoms
- Electron orbitals and the importance of the valence (outer) electron shell
- Structure of the Periodic Table of Elements based on electron shell levels

Session 4: Rubidium (37) to Xenon (54)
Students will learn about:
- Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons)
- Ionic and covalent molecular bonding 
- Electron orbitals, suborbitals (s, p, d, f) and the importance of the valence (outer) electron shell
- Properties, forms and uses of Row 6 & 7 atoms
- Structure of the Periodic Table of Elements based on electron shell levels, including the remaining elements in the Table
Quantum Physics for Kids is dedicated to introducing young students to the amazing world of quantum physics, invention & science research! We've been offering STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math) classes and creating educational materials for students of all ages for over 15 years. We're excited to share this course content with more students through Outschool. 
No required homework assigned, but students will be given optional Homework Handouts and suggestions for further exploration. 
 6 files available upon enrollment
The following learning materials are included with registration and provided as downloadable PDFs: - Printable Atom Card PDFs for atomic elements 1-54 (Hydrogen to Xenon) - Printable Periodic Table PDF Handouts (simplified version & complete version) - Printable Review Handout PDFs for each session
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Learner progress will be assessed through class participation and a fun, humorous quiz at the end of each session. 
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
