Description
In Chemistry for the Grammar Stage, students will learn about atoms and molecules, the Periodic Table, physical changes, chemical changes, mixtures, acids and bases and organic chemistry with a suggested 36-week schedule. Students will learn about these topics through reading, memory work, hands-on activities, and writing assignments. The Teacher's Guide holds everything you need to know to teach the course including lesson plans (5-day or 2-day schedules), materials lists, resource lists, forms, quizzes and quiz answers. The Student Workbook provides all of the worksheet pages the student will fill in through the course, including narration/summary/journal pages, experiment pages, ongoing projects, and pictures for narration. One difference in Chemistry for the Grammar Stage is that narration pages are replaced by Definition and Summary pages. Definition pages hold an empty box and several lines for writing. Students create their own dictionary of chemical terms by pasting the picture of the item in the box and write a definition. Summary pages are very much like narration pages, where the student writes what they have learned about the topic. Please note that two resources are required for the readings, and there are some optional additional reading resources also listed. Required resources are: The Usborne Science Encyclopedia (2015 edition) and The Elements (2022 edition), part of the DK Eyewitness series.
