Montessori Elementary Chemistry Course

Bringing Chemistry to life with Montessori lessons, storytelling, and real-world experiments.

What you'll learn
- Learn the power of storytelling to make Chemistry concepts easy to understand
- Identify common elements found in everyday life and the natural environment.
- Define key Chemistry terms such as atom, molecule, element, and compound.
- Illustrate how particles combine to form substances.
- Model simple molecular structures using Montessori or household materials.
- Interpret color changes and reactions to determine pH levels in common materials.
- Differentiate between physical and chemical changes through experiments.
- Explain the interconnected chemical cycles in nature, including the water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles.

Requirements
- No prior background in Chemistry is required — only curiosity and a willingness to explore!
- Access to basic materials (glass jars, baking soda, vinegar, spoons, bowls, and similar household items) will enhance your experience during demonstrations.

Description
Everything you see is a wonder of chemistry, from the everyday items like the plastic cup you are drinking out of to the metabolic processes happening within your own body. Chemistry is a tangible science and practical science. Every day when you cook a meal, chemistry is involved. If you understand the chemical reactions involved in making baked goods rise or neutralizing acidity or thickening sauces, chances are you’ll be a pretty good cook. What are all those ingredients on the back of your shampoo bottle and why are they in there? What happens inside a car’s engine that makes it go? It’s all chemistry. Chemistry helps us understand how the world around us works!

This course is aimed to empower you as a parent or teacher to connect all the Chemistry concepts together in a smooth flow. We refer to what's happening inside the atoms and molecules in almost all the videos to make sense of every investigation, experiment or Chemistry concept from a scientific level that is easy for adults and students to understand. We start the course by going back to early human beings and how they discovered the elements around them and utilized them to build their civilizations and manage their daily activities.

By the end of this course, you will be able to level up your understanding of Chemistry concepts from a basic to an advanced level. We would like students to have AHA moments when doing the experiments, but we also want them to be able to explain the Science behind them!

The course is divided into 6 modules

Module 1: The Story of Elements

Module 2: Basic Chemistry Terms and Concepts Explained

Module 3: Molecular Structures and Bonds

Module 4: Mixtures, acids, base, and Ph scale

Module 5: States of matter chemical and physical change

Module 6: Cycles in the Ecosystem

Who this course is for:
- Elementary and middle school students, parents, educators, or anyone who is interested to learn how Hands-on visual chemistry lessons that also incorporate storytelling would look like!
