This will be a fun, hands-on, engaging intro to chemistry class for children from the ages of 7-12 years old. Children will be learning the basics of chemistry and then taking a hands-on approach and creating Halloween elephant toothpaste in their homes while learning the science behind it! The students will be able to make educated predictions (hypotheses) and observe what occurs in the experiment. Students will be able to discuss what they are seeing and feeling. The students will be drawing, writing, or verbally discussing their predictions and observations throughout the process, it will be very interactive between teacher and learners. The students do not need any previous knowledge for this course. 

The structure of the class will start with an introduction and a vocabulary word(s) that relate to the experiment. 
Ex. (Vocab word) - Hypothesis - means a scientific prediction of what they think will observe or what will take place. 

We will discuss the vocab word(s) in more depth and then move on to the experiment of the day. After a description of the experiment that will be done, students will then predict what they think will occur and write or draw their predictions in their journals. 

Experiment time: 
1. Students gather their materials 
2. We will experiment with steps altogether (measuring and mixing) 
3. Watch the experiments come to life
4. Class discussion of what they observed (visual, smells, touch)
5. Write/draw the outcomes in their scientific journals
