Chemical Innovations & Reversible vs. Irreversible Transitions
Science & Innovation
Your child can distinguish between temporary physical changes (like freezing water) and permanent chemical alterations (like burning wood or baking an egg).
In real life
Poking a campfire, your child asks whether the ash could ever become wood again. They work out that it cannot and say, "So it's irreversible."
