Chemical reactions

Welcome to a new Science class!

This week we are learning that matter can change through different chemical reactions.

here you have three captions from your class book. Use them to make a graphic organizer (esquema) about CHEMICAL REACTIONS

Watch these videos to learn more

  1. COMBUSTION: OXYGEN and a FUEL (gas, wood, fossil…) REACT together and liberate ENERGY

and here you have an experiment

2. OXIDATION

Remember our apple experiment…? well that’s it: some molecules in an apple or in other materials like iron REACT with the OXYGEN and produce a brown substance called oxide or RUST

3. FERMENTATION

FUNGI or BACTERIA react with certain FOODS and transform them: Yogurt, yeast (levadura), cheese or wine are produced by FERMENTATION.

In this experiment you can see how yeast (levadura) reacts with sugar and makes a chemical reaction of FERMENTATION. Would you like to try it?
