Weeks 3โ€“4: Chemical Reactions

A chemical reaction happens when substances change and form something new. Explore the signs of reactions, the fire triangle, reaction types, and balancing equations! โš—๏ธ

What is a chemical reaction?

It is a process where reactants change into products (new substances).

๐Ÿ‘€

Signs of a reaction

Bubbles, light, heat, color change, odor change, and solid formation can be signs of a reaction.

๐Ÿ”ฅ

Fire Triangle (Lavoisier / Oxidation)

Fire needs Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen. Remove one and fire stops.

๐Ÿงฉ

Types of reactions

Combination, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, combustion, and acid-base.

โš–๏ธ

Balancing chemical equations

We balance to follow the law of conservation of mass โ€” same atoms on both sides.

Tip: Start the activities on the right ๐Ÿ‘‰
