Chemistry for Kids : Homeschool Science Unit Study Resources
The Study of Chemistry for Kids – Resource Sites
Chemistry can be a fun topic to learn. Interactive and free resources are abundant on the Internet. If your child needs to begin with basic information about Chemistry, I’d recommend a visit to “Ducksters Chemistry for Kids“. This website has basic information about molecules, elements, atoms, and reactions. The site is simple, with text-based pages and easily understood diagrams which makes it an ideal chemistry for kids site.
Free chemistry for kids worksheets, activities, and resources can be found on the website Creative Chemistry. This site has fun online animations, projects, quizzes, and more than you’ll be able to do in days, weeks, or months!
There are several fun, interactive periodic tables available online for students to explore. By playing with these tables, your scholar will reinforce his learning. Tell your child to look for elements that interest him. He can take note of things that make that element ‘special’ or different to him. That is one way to make chemistry for kids more engaging to your child.
WebElements
– On this site, there’s a periodic table of elements where your child can click on each of the elements for information about that element. There’s quite a bit of information about each element as well as diagrams of the molecules. I included this site for the visuals to help visual learners. However, there are ads within the pages though, so this site is probably best for students who won’t be easily distracted by the ads.
Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Chemistry Division’s Periodic Table of Elements is a great chemistry for kids resource. Your child can click on the elements to learn more about each of them just like on the site above, but it’s all text-based information without graphics of the molecules.
FunBrain has a fun periodic table your child can use to quiz his knowledge of the periodic table of elements. There are easy, medium, and difficult levels. Your child can practice symbols and atomic weights at this fun chemistry for kids site.
