Chemistry for 5th grade


Recommended Posts

We are 5 weeks away from finishing Mr.Q's Classic Science. My ds is on the young end of a science co-op that is using this curriculum. They have learned a lot about chemistry and they have done some really cool experiments.

 

I also supplimented The Elements by Ellen McHenry, and Fizz, Bubble, and Flash book but it is NOT needed at all. My ds is a science loving kid!

I would take a looks at The Elements and Elementary Science Chemistry (which we are currently using.) It's listed as a Grammar stage science but it seems pretty meaty. You could beef it up with some additional reading selections. I've been very pleased with it so far.

 

We will be doing Elemental Science Chem next year for 5th. It looks like plenty!

Great Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS) also has some great units on chemistry. Very hands-on and real life, easy to do and they don't take very long. They'd be excellent to go with RS4K and/or Ellen McHenry's The Elements. We've done all these progrmas in the past and all were very successful.

Ellen McHenry's The Elements

 

:iagree:

I'll be doing this with my 5th grader next year, along with 7th grade sis. I'm supplementing with these:
