Chemical Changes and Reactions Playlist 

 

A chemical reaction occurs when reactants mix together and create something new, known as a product. Some signs that a reaction has occurred include temperature changes, colour changes, new smells, and the production of bubbles or gas. 

Chemical changes result from chemical reactions. And we don’t need to be in labs to observe these changes – they can happen when we cook an egg, bake cookies, watch fireworks, or light a campfire.

Teaching this concept may seem challenging, but the video resources provided below are excellent for you and your child to learn together!

This video also includes advice on how to explain tough Science concepts to children, which is great for parents or teachers.

 

Chemical Reactions | Facts for Kids

 

Learn about chemical reactions from host, Leticia. Since she is a child herself, she is able to appeal to other children when she explains such concepts. This video explains what a chemical reaction is, where it occurs (like when baking a cake) and the differences between a chemical and a physical reaction.
