Reactants and Products

Reactants and Products is a major part of chemical reactions. This section explains the core science, engineering, history, or real-world purpose behind the topic in clear kid-friendly language. Understanding reactants and products also means looking at how individual parts fit into a larger system, what problems designers or professionals are solving, and what tradeoffs appear in safety, cost, efficiency, environment, reliability, or everyday use. Real photographs and documentary images help connect the idea to machines, places, materials, and people in the real world.
