- Did you know? Ever wonder why some fruit turns brown when you cut it? It’s because a chemical reaction happens when air touches the fruit. Rubbing the cut sides with lemon can stop this reaction — and keep your snack looking snappy!
- Chemical reactions are really important in cooking. They make gooey batter puff up into muffins in the oven, turn marshmallows toasty over a campfire, cause runny eggs to set into fluffy scrambles on the stove, and more.
- Your body uses some acids and bases to help you digest what you eat. When food enters your stomach, acids help break it down. Then the food goes to your intestines, where a base helps your body grab onto all the good stuff it needs to keep you healthy!
