US Grade Kindergarten - 1
In this 4-session course, we'll guide young learners to begin exploring concepts of atoms and molecules using play dough-based interactive activities. We'll start by learning about concepts of atoms, and we'll build models of protons, neutrons and electrons with play dough. Then we'll put those subatomic particles together to build models of Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen and Carbon using toothpicks. We'll also construct models of the water molecule, salt molecule, graphene and more! A detailed...
Learning Goals for each class session are listed below: Class 1 - Introduce concept of atoms - smallest stable unit of matter - Subatomic particles - Learn about protons, neutron & electrons and their electrical charges; model with play dough - Physical modeling of nucleus and electron orbit creating electron cloud - Learn about atomic elements: Hydrogen & Helium - Build atomic models of Hydrogen & Helium using play dough & toothpicks - Formation of Hydrogen & Helium in stars - model Nucleosynthesis using play dough - Scavenger hunt list - where can you find the atomic elements of Hydrogen & Helium? Class 2 - Review concepts of atoms, protons, neutron & electrons; model with play dough - make 8 of each - Learn about Oxygen - Discuss the 2nd electron shell - Build atomic model of Oxygen using play dough & toothpicks - Concept of molecules forming with covalent bonding - Build a model of water (H2) with play dough and toothpicks - connect Oxygen model with Hydrogen models; build two of them - Discuss molecular polarity, polar bonding and Hydrogen bonding; demonstrate with 2 water molecule models - Discuss water's unique qualities - Experiment with water - investigate capillary action with water using 2 paper towels (or napkins) and 3 cups. Class 3 - Review concepts of atoms, protons, neutron & electrons; model with play dough - make several of each - Learn about Sodium and Chlorine - Discuss the 3rd electron shell - Build atomic models of Sodium and Chlorine using play dough & toothpicks - Concept of molecules forming through ionic bonding - Build a model of salt (NaCL) with play dough - Why salt is important in our diets; it's function in the human body - How our body senses salt; "salty" taste Class 4 - Review concepts of atoms, protons, neutron & electrons; model with play dough - make several of each - Learn about Carbon - Build atomic model of Carbon using play dough & toothpicks - Learn about Carbon's many forms; it's essential role in carbon-based life forms including life on Earth - Concept of allotropes - Build 2 allotropes of Carbon - Diamond and Graphene - Learn about the Carbon cycle on Earth and the effects of too much Carbon in the atmosphere; ways to reduce atmospheric Carbon (trees, soil, ocean life)
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.
