5Th Grade Chemistry Curriculum: By: Emmy Nam, Griffin Leland, Tony Molloy, and Mikayla Debarros

This document outlines a 5th grade chemistry curriculum covering states of matter and the structure of atoms. It includes lessons on atoms, the three states of matter, phase changes, and the structure of the atom including protons, neutrons, and electrons. Students will conduct hands-on labs on states of matter and research individual elements to present their findings. The curriculum aims to help students understand the key concepts through interactive notebooks, worksheets, videos, and games to engage them in learning chemistry concepts.

Electron CTF

-Kids get a belt w/ ribbons on it


-Number of ribbons ranges from 1-8
-Kids try to get each others flags and get a total of 8 ribbons
-Once they have 8, try not to lose or gain anymore
-Ribbons = Electrons, getting 8 = becoming a noble gas

element research project

10

Give each student a different element to research.


After they have researched the physical properties,
common uses, where it is found, reactions with other
elements, atomic number, and the elements
symbol/abbreviation have them make a small poster of it
Present information to the class and have everyone
take notes/ interactive notebook
Ask them to try and group the elements in anyway that
they want. After show them how they are actually grouped
on the periodic table.
List of most common elements
