Hi Payton, The American Chemical Society also has some activities created for young students.  Their site for elementary students is called Adventures in Science and their site for middle school students, which may have some activities you could adapt, is called Middle School Chemistry .  They also have put their publication, Inquiry in Action , online.

4 Great Source for Ideas
This book just looked like so much fun that I had to purchase it and I wasn't disappointed. It includes over 50 different gadgets and gizmos, as they call them, organized around 7 physical concepts. Each one comes with questions that students should think about and each set includes the Next Generation Science Standards that that activity deals with. All the of the gadgets are readily available from a scientific supply catalog or Amazon at a reasonable cost. This book will motivate you to expand and use your science toy collection!
