Atoms, mass and volume are all parts of matter! Through this topic, the students will gain hands-on experience with the basic elements of matter and chemistry and maybe make some fun messes along the way!
Energy
Kinetic, potential and other types of energy will be a part of this important topic, their specific characteristics and how they’re transferred onto objects. The students will be up and moving a lot with this topic!
Magnetism
How do magnets work? How do they relate to our planet and to other forms of metal? These are just a few questions the students will answer in relation to magnetism.
