This unit explores the fundamental concepts of chemical reactions, classification, and their real-world applications. Students will engage in hands-on investigations to recognize and classify various types of chemical reactions, analyze chemical formulas, and connect their observations to everyday experiences. Through lab experiments, discussions, and critical thinking, students will deepen their understanding of chemical processes like combustion, decomposition, neutralization, and more.
I CAN describe what a chemical reaction is and explain the difference between physical and chemical changes.
