Teaching Chemistry to your children or teens can seem like a daunting task. You want your offspring to be able to learn about this important branch of science, but balancing chemical equations may not be your specialty. Also, you don’t want your house to be blown up by a random science experiment.
Fortunately, there are websites out there that offer resources such as videos, online activities, and printables that can help you out with teaching chemistry to your little (or big) homeschoolings. (I made that word up. It refers to your homeschooled little darlings. )
Below you’ll find a list of these goodies. With any luck, you’ll find something on it that will enable you to teach Chemistry properly and sleep nights knowing that that chemical experiment in your fridge won’t turn into a monster.
