March Overview

With an understanding of how the elements on the periodic table are organized and how they are structured, you will now explore the phenomenon of chemical reactions. You will use models and equations to represent those reactions.

One type of reaction happens when substances combine to form molecules. When atoms react to form molecules, bonds are created. You will explore two types of bonds, covalent bonds and ionic bonds, in depth, and learn how the 118 elements in our world have created around 90 million other unique known substances!

Finally, you’ll explore the phenomenon of chemical reactions that stop on their own. You’ll investigate the factors that limit reactions.
