chemical reactions

Science

• The child learned about the different types of chemical reactions, such as synthesis, decomposition, and combustion.
• They observed and understood the concept of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
• The child learned how to balance chemical equations by ensuring the number of atoms on both sides is equal.
• They explored the concept of exothermic and endothermic reactions, understanding that some reactions release energy while others absorb it.

For continued development, encourage the child to conduct more experiments to explore different chemical reactions. They can try mixing various substances and observing the resulting reactions. Encourage them to record their observations and analyze the changes that occur. Additionally, they can research real-life applications of chemical reactions, such as in cooking, medicine, or industry.
