Easy Chemistry - atoms, elements, and molecules
This is a beginners unit that introduces elementary students to chemistry basics. It covers atoms, elements, molecules, the periodic table, and Mendeleev. This unit uses backwards learning in that the students do the fun activities and then use critical thinking skills to relate their learning back to chemistry fundamentals. I used this unit with my fourth and fifth grade Gifted and Talented students and they loved it. Their learning was much deeper due to the activities which include block

Matter/Basic Chemistry Unit- Part 10
This is basic matter and chemistry information. Each part is a couple days to a week long worth of activities. Students can use this as a flipped classroom lesson.
These can be adapted from 4th-9th grade I would say since science depending on state will hit many of these terms for state testing. Adapt to fit your kiddos. Don't forget to come back to see the other parts to create a full unit!
