Matter at the Atomic Level & Periodic Table Basics

Integrated Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)

Your child understands that all matter is constructed from tiny atoms, can define the difference between elements, compounds, and mixtures, and can read basic periodic table symbols.

In real life

Reading a mineral-water label or sunscreen bottle, your child decodes the symbols: "Na is sodium, Zn is zinc." They explain that salt is a compound of two elements while trail mix is just a mixture.
