| Sumario: | A curriculum in chemistry should be organized in a spiral form so that students continually build upon what they have already learned. A first unit called "The Chemistry Kitchen" can serve as a tool to introduce skills and chemical working ideas to be used as later anchors for chemical concepts. The unit is composed of five hands-on activities with kitchen elements for elementary students ages 9-11. The activities include directions, suggestions, and an example. Students are expected to undertake these hands-on activities using concrete objects and incorporate their experiences as anchors for the future understanding of abstract chemical concepts, leading to meaningful learning. |
