We covered the periodic table of elements with the kiddo a couple of years ago, but Quebec says we need to cover matter this year or it doesn't count. So, I put together a fun unit. He is very interested in Chemistry, which he isn't supposed to learn about till next year. Itch is a fantastically exciting book about a boy that collects the elements of the periodic table and is the reader for this unit. I chose Compounded for our board game because it is my favorite! There are others you could choose or just stick to the games in the suggested printable pack. You will find more free units on our unit studies page.
