Curriculum Areas/Learning Outcomes
Science: Concept: Elements consist of one type of atom, and compounds consist of atoms of different elements chemically combined.
Connections: You will present the meaning of the periodic table and the role of elements over this first week. The second week you will present the idea of acids and bases via combining elements. The third week you will demonstrate the combining of elements at work all around us. And in the fourth week your child will explore their own interest regarding combustion, salt formation, and solutions and solvents.
Language Arts: Concept: Questioning what we hear, read, and view contributes to our ability to be educated and engaged citizens.
Connections: Your child will be given an opportunity to reflect on past knowledge as they prepare to learn through demonstrations. Your child will work on their own interest and prepare a presentation of their work.

Curriculum Overview
You will cover three areas of study during this unit: Combustion; Salt-Formation; and Solutions and Solvents. Each area of study will take a week. During the fourth week your child will do an independent project. The approach that will resonate with your child on a soul level is to observe the phenomena directly, not abstractly. You will notice that you will not cover molecular theory in this unit as you might find in most textbooks for this subject. This is intentional. At Daily Wonder we want to inspire kids to learn from the living pictures that they take in through their senses directly to their feeling and then to their understanding.
