Finding everyday examples of exothermic and endothermic reactions can be tricky, but here are some simple explanations:

Exothermic Reactions:

• Burning: When we burn wood or fossil fuels, they release energy.
• Breathing: Our bodies break down glucose (a type of sugar) to get energy.

Endothermic Reactions:

• Photosynthesis: Plants take in sunlight and use it to turn carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water into glucose.
• Dissolving salt in water: When salt dissolves in water, it needs energy, which makes the water feel colder.

It's not always easy to spot these reactions in our daily lives.

To make things clearer, trying simple experiments or watching demonstrations can help a lot.

Actively exploring these concepts through real-life examples can really boost our understanding!
