Classify chemical formulas
Grade 5 students classify chemical formulas by identifying which represent elements, compounds, or mixtures, deepening their understanding of how matter is organized at a molecular level. Teachers can use this Physical Science worksheet to check student mastery after introducing chemical notation and to build confidence with scientific symbols and formula reading. It fits into a Matter and Chemical Models unit and bridges concrete materials understanding with more abstract molecular representation.
