Science
- Learned about the basic structure of atoms and the concept of atomic number and mass.
- Gained an understanding of the periodic table, including the properties and organization of elements.
- Explored different types of chemical reactions, such as synthesis, decomposition, and combustion reactions.
- Understood the importance of balancing chemical equations to show the conservation of matter.
Continued development in chemistry can be fostered through hands-on experiments and demonstrations. Encourage the student to conduct simple experiments at home using household items to observe chemical reactions. They can also research and explore real-world applications of chemistry in various fields such as medicine, environmental science, and materials science.
