> What is Conceptual Chemistry? Conceptual Chemistry is a teacher-friendly, proven-to-be-effective graduate course for teachers of chemical concepts in grades 4 – 9. This tuition-free, 5-credit-hour Kent State University graduate course combines basic concepts in chemistry with hands-on activities and practice using them.
>  
> Conceptual Chemistry Topics:
> PROPERTIES OF MATTER
> Some physical and chemical properties of matter and models to illustrate their differences are explored.
> DENSITY AND CONCENTRATION
> Mass, volume and dilution are introduced in order to develop the derived concept of density.
> SOLUTIONS, MIXTURES AND COMPOUNDS
> Activities help clarify the chemical differences between materials that are not single elements.
> CHEMICAL REACTIONS
> Activities reveal evidences of chemical changes and the conservation of matter.
> PARTICLE THEORY AND THE PERIODIC TABLE
> A mini-history of ideas about and classifications of elements are themes of participatory lessons.
> ACIDS AND BASES
> Teachers gain experience with acids and bases, their practical uses and descriptive ways to explain pH.
> ENERGY
> An introduction to various forms of energy and energy transformations is developed with selected activities.
> CHEMISTRY OF FOOD
> Consumer-oriented activities explore the mixtures of basic nutrients in processed food.
> CHEMISTRY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
> Chemical principles are studied as they relate to current environmental issues.
> FORENSIC CHEMISTRY
> The crime scene provides both a “need to know” and opportunities to apply knowledge and
