Keep it simple in your chemistry classroom when explaining to your students what chemistry is and what they will study this year with this high quality, landscape-oriented 11 x17 digital, printable poster full of visual examples accompanied by brief descriptions.

The poster includes the following 4 Big Chemistry Ideas:

1. Matter (Structure of Matter, Properties of Matter, Chemical Changes, Physical Changes)

2. Forces (Chemical Bonds, Nuclear Forces, Intermolecular Forces)

3. Motion (Electron Configurations, Stability, Kinetic Molecular Theory)

4. Energy (Energy Transfer, Energy in Chemical Processes, Energy in Physical Processes, Conservation of Energy)

Ideas for Use:

• When introducing chemistry as a science to students

• At the beginning of each unit of study - explain how one, two, or three of the big ideas apply to what your students are about to study

• To explain the interconnected nature of the universe e.g. particles of matter such as atoms, form chemical bonds (electrostatic forces) as a result of their (and their subatomic particles') motion to achieve stability by lowering their overall energy.
