What a find! Chem4 Kids contains six sections ranging from Matter, to Math in Chemistry, and Chemical Reactions. Information on each topic is presented clearly. Hyperlinks are included to assist students in understanding terms.

tag(s): atoms (42), chemicals (39), elements (32), matter (47), periodic table (44)

In the Classroom

The explanations are clear and concise and the examples are everyday items. Students should create their own flashcards or work together as partners or in small groups to create flashcards for each section. Each topic and term has what looks like hand-drawn images for examples. Where possible challenge students to draw their own examples. Students could use Padlet, reviewed here, to brainstorm a list of examples (images) to replace the ones Chem4kids has for their flashcards. Next, have students create the drawings using Draw.Chat, reviewed here. Have students save their drawing(s) to their computer, or if you are cloud based save it there, to add to student made flashcards. Use a flashcard tool such as Flashcard Stash, reviewed here. Ask students to think about replacing the image examples used on Chem4kids to help them to understand the topic, and drawing their own replacement examples will help them remember the information. Then use and image annotation tool like Phrase.it, reviewed here, to explain their replacement.
