3. Unit 9 Lesson 4 What Are Some Changes to Matter?
Physical Changes
In a physical change, the kind of matter all stays the same.
Folding, tearing, and cutting are all examples of physical changes.

Chemical Changes
How are chemical changes different from physical changes?
In a chemical change, new kinds of matter are formed.
Some chemical changes can be reversed using chemical means. But most of the chemical changes you see cannot be reversed.

5. Chemical Changes Chemical changes happen all around you.
Unit 9 Lesson 4 What Are Some Changes to Matter?
Chemical Changes
Chemical changes happen all around you.
Chemical changes can happen in your body.
Suppose you eat a pear. As your body digests the pear, chemical changes break it up into simpler pieces that your body can use.

10. Mixtures and Solutions
Unit 9 Lesson 4 What Are Some Changes to Matter?
Mixtures and Solutions
A mixture is two or more substances that are combined without changing any of them.
Because no new matter is formed, making a mixture is a physical change.

All solutions are mixtures.
Lemonade is a mixture of water, sugar, and lemon juice.
Lemonade is also a solution because the sugar and lemon juice have dissolved in the water.

Properties Matter!
Because making a mixture is a physical change, you can separate a mixture using the physical properties of its parts.

Properties Matter!
Floating is a physical property. You can use it to separate some mixtures. Just add water, and scoop off the objects that float.
Evaporation can separate mixtures in which solids have been dissolved in liquids. As the liquid evaporates, the solids are left behind.

Properties Matter!
You can also use tools such as sieves and magnets to separate mixtures.
Matter that is smaller than the holes in a sieve passes through the sieve. Matter that is larger than the holes stays on top of the sieve.
