The Chemical Educational Foundation® (CEF), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting youth science education, has developed a K-8 science curriculum supplement that recently won a Teachers’ Choice Award for the Classroom. It’s called the You Be The Chemist® Activity Guides: Lesson Plans for Making Chemistry Fun, and it’s completely free to download from our website at http://chemed.org/ybtc/guides/.
The Activity Guides are divided into two manuals by grade level (K-4 and 5-8), and each contain 30+ lesson plans for activities that educators and parents can conduct with students—using inexpensive, household materials—to build their understanding of chemistry and general science. Each activity contains supplemental science information to ensure that educators feel comfortable presenting the material. Beyond inquiry-based activities, the guides contain activity sheets with answer keys, vocabulary, and more. With over 1,000 pages of material, educators can choose to do just a few of the activities – or try them all!
