This three-lesson unit introduces third-grade students to the fundamental concepts of chemical reactions. Students will learn the basic principles, explore reactants and products, and engage in simple experiments to observe real-life examples, fostering their interest and understanding of chemistry.
In this lesson, students will be introduced to the basics of chemical reactions, a fundamental concept in chemistry. They will learn what a chemical reaction is, explore examples, and understand the basics of how substances interact. Through hands-on activities, students will observe simple chemical reactions and gain a preliminary understanding of the changes that occur during these reactions.
Lesson 2: Exploring Reactants and Products
Overview
In this lesson, students will delve deeper into the concept of chemical reactions by exploring how reactants come together to form products. Through hands-on activities and discussions, they will gain a better understanding of how different substances interact and change during a chemical reaction.
Lesson 3: Observing Chemical Reactions
Overview
This lesson is designed to provide students with a hands-on experience in observing chemical reactions. Through simple experiments, students will learn to identify and describe the changes that occur during chemical reactions, enhancing their understanding of reactants and products.
