24. Agenda & Homework Notes on physical & chemical changes
Card Sort (copy correct answers into notebook)
Double Bubble – compare & contrast physical and chemical CHANGES
Ticket Out The Door
Homework: complete Double Bubble & TOTD if not finished in class

25. Physical and Chemical Changes
Properties are what a substance HAS; changes are what a substance DOES
In other words: properties tend to be adjectives and descriptive; changes tend to be verbs and active

26. Evidence
Signs of a physical change include changes in state, shape, or form but not composition
Physical changes are USUALLY reversible
Sign of a chemical change include the release of light or heat
The substance may look very different
Chemical changes are USUALLY irreversible
Bubbling & color change can be tricky

27. You try it! Name That Change
Card Sort – once you have the correct info, copy into your notebook
On a clean page, create a Double Bubble Map comparing & contrasting the two changes
Remember: similarities in the middle, differences on the outside, and for every point, you need a counterpoint

Try to find some way to make it support your hypothesis.
