Physical and Chemical Changes A Write On Activity
Objective: Chemical/Physical Change: Differentiate The learner will be able to distinguish between a physical and chemical change.
Examples of signs that are both Chemical & physical Gas production (can be a phase change or a new substance) Color change (can hold in a color like a mixture or it could be a new substance) Heat given off (simply hotter or could be burning to give off heat) Smell (can be expanding out or brand new from a new substance)
Both of these examples are making a gas. Which one is physical and which is chemical? H 2 O in a liquid going into H 2 O as a gas is a PHYSICAL Change because it still H 2 O Two different chemicals are being added to create a new gas or bubbles. Like Baking Soda & Vinegar making bubbles is a CHEMICAL change
Both of these pictures show a color change due to heat: which is physical and which is chemical? Paper burning is a chemical change because it is no longer paper, but becomes ash When metals (such as steel) heat up they glow but they are still the same substance (still steal)
