purplemama Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I am wondering what sort of memory work anyone has incorporated into grammar stage chemistry. I see in TWTM all sorts of memory work suggested for logic stage, but none for grammar stage. We memorize some poetry and Bible verses and some history facts.

lapsetmom Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 The year we did Chemistry, we memorized part of the periodic table. I learned a lot in the process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 heading into chem with my 4 kids next year. My grammar kids will learn the name and symbols of element 1-20, 26, 29, 30, 47, 79, 92. They will learn where the metals and non-metals are. There's usually a staircase-like line dividing the table: metals are to the left, nonmetals on the right. It is NOT important at all to know what number a certain element is or its atomic mass. That's what the table is for and practicing chemists rarely know more than a few of the numbers or masses!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The book Fizz, Bubble, Flash has the cutest poem about the periodic table that would be great for grammar stage kids to memorize. Plus if you search the web for chemistry poems you can find some good ones. IMHO the goal for grammar stage chemistry is to teach the joy of discovery and to get them excited about chemistry. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
