Learnt about chemical reactions

Science

• The child has learned that chemical reactions occur when two or more substances combine to form a new substance with different properties.
• They understand the concept of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
• The student has grasped the idea that chemical reactions can release or absorb energy in the form of heat, light, or sound.

For continued development, consider introducing simple hands-on experiments that demonstrate chemical reactions, such as mixing baking soda and vinegar to create a fizzy reaction, or combining lemon juice and baking soda to produce a bubbling effect. Encourage the child to ask questions and make predictions about what will happen during these experiments.
