化学: 原子から分子まで (8～12 歳) (Flex)

In this 4-week flexible schedule course, students will gain a solid foundation in the field of Chemistry. We will cover basic topics in Chemistry and discuss why it's important to understand the world at such a miniscule level. We will learn key terms to prepare students who will go on to further Chemistry study. I use engaging visuals and welcome all interaction and questions via the classroom discussion board! The curious mind is the most pliable.

Curriculum:
Week 1: Chemistry Basics & The Periodic Table
Week 2: Chemical Properties & States of Matter
Week 3: Chemical Bonds
Week 4: Chemical Reactions

Each week, students will be expected to:
1) Watch the lesson video
2) Complete a review quiz/game (Quizlet)
3) Record a short video project
4) Participate in Q&A discussion board

Students will learn important terms by competing together in games and quizzes via Quizlet. 

The video projects will give students the opportunity to show their level of understanding by teaching what they know about each topic. After all, the best way to test your own knowledge on a subject is to teach it yourself! In addition, students will watch other students' projects and provide feedback.

Students will also participate in a weekly discussion board. Part of being a scientist is asking questions and being curious about the world around you. Each student will post a question or two that they thought of while learning the material that week. Then, other students will do their best to research and answer each others' questions. I will help them find answers and make clarifications as needed.

More detailed instructions on the weekly assignments will be provided at the beginning of each week.

Though no previous knowledge of Chemistry is required, this course may be taken after my One-Time course “Atoms to Molecules: Introduction to Chemistry”, if students are not ready to commit to a 4-week course.
