Chemistry for KidsCourse

Aimed at children aged 6 to 12, the Chemistry for Kids Course will transport your child on a fascinating adventure into the world of chemicals and materials, and many of the wonderful processes that underpin life on Earth. By the end of the course, your child will have developed an understanding of many of the actions that happen right under our noses—but are often far too tiny to witness with the naked eye. Their effects can be seen all around us, however, and as children progress through the Chemistry For Kids Course, they will develop an insight into these hidden processes!

What Will You Learn?

The Chemistry For Kids Course is aimed at children who are curious about the material world and how things happen. If your child is always asking questions that start with ‘why’ and ‘how’, then they’re sure to enjoy this course!

The Chemistry For Kids Course is not linked to a particular school phase, but it does explore the chemistry strands of the primary science (and some of the KS3) curriculum taught in UK schools, as well as including plenty of extra fun, hands-on activities, too. This means Chemistry For Kids may also suit children who are being educated in a home setting, as well as children who want to continue their learning outside of the school day.
