Hello I am a student at UTRGV and I am in the education program. I want to know what kind of activities could one do that is engaging and fun related to chemistry? Chemistry can be a difficult topic for most especially those younger. I want to see how to break that barrier and turn a difficult subject into an enjoyable one. 

Hi Joel,

I agree that chemistry can be a hard topic to cover with elementary students. I think one way to start is to talk about the phases of matter, and then lead into how they are separated on the periodic table. I know when I was in 6th grade we had an activity where we research an individual element and then made a paper cube of sorts with all the information and hung them from the ceiling.
