Simple Science Resources

In Science, Cycle 3, Week 24, we are learning about the different types of chemical reactions. I appreciate this simple illustration and wanted to share it with you. No wonder there is a saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words!”

This illustration makes it much easier for the kids to understand reaction types. Visit the Wikipedia page linked below for more information about different chemical reactions.
