Classroom Chemistry


In-Class Field Trips for Grade Five Students

It’s All About the Chemistry!

classroom-chemistry-1Students will be conducting a variety of chemistry experiments using a combination of household substances. Filtration, evaporation, density, and magnetism are methods of separation that will be explored. Students will also test the pH balance of substances to determine whether they are acidic or basic. Finally, they will discover that by combining certain materials they can create an exciting chemical reaction.
