This chemistry refresher for 5th graders explores the significance of inquiry-based learning in understanding science. It covers key concepts including density, mass, and volume, while clarifying the distinctions between mass and weight. Students will engage in hands-on experiments with tools of measurement and delve into the macro-level aspects of mixtures and pure substances. The course also emphasizes the micro-level understanding of atoms, elements, and compounds, and fosters critical thinking through activities like analyzing mystery powders and utilizing the Periodic Table.

The Power of Inquiry • What is it? • Why is it important in teaching science? • The Black Box
Macro Level: Density • Mass • Mass vs. Weight • Tools of measurement, methods • Volume • The Derived Quantity • Density – units!!!
Micro Level: Pure Substances • Atoms, elements • Molecules • Compounds • Chemical change vs. physical change • Mystery Powders (other applications), Petri dishes
The Periodic Table of the Elements ****Mapping the elements http://www.webelements.com/
