1. Physical & Chemical Changes
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
How can you use evidence to determine if a change is physical or chemical?
Objectives:
Identify examples of chemical and physical changes and provide evidence that these changes are taking place.
Defend the claim that mass is conserved in both physical and chemical reactions through investigations.
Investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of chemical changes.

Michael decides to bake bread one morning. He measures ingredients, mixes them other to make a dough, and cooks the dough in an oven. As the dough cooks, Michael observes the bread rising. Which of the following is evidence of the chemical change in Michael’s break-making process?
A. Sugar dissolving in the liquid batter.
B. The bread rising as carbon dioxide is released.
C. Water in the dough being released as water vapor.
D. The dry ingredients mixing with the wet ingredients.

3. PHYSICAL CHANGE
Physical Changes result when there is a re-arrangement to the molecules of a substance. The molecules themselves stay the same.
Ex: Changes in state of matter, shape, size, volume, mass, weight, and density.

4. CHEMICAL CHANGES
Chemical changes occur when the molecules of a substance are broken apart and changed into a new substance with new properties.
Ex: Bubbling and fizzing, light production, smoke, and presence of heat.

5. Key Indicators of Each Type of Change
Physical Change Indicator
Chemical Change Indicator
Can be reversed.
NO New Substances formed!
Ex: Change to State of Matter.
NEW Substance Formed!
Can’t be reversed.
Production of a NEW Color, Odor, Energy, Gas.

6. How Temperature Affects Chemical Reactions
The rate of a chemical reaction will INCREASE when heat is added.
The rate of a chemical reaction will DECREASE when heat is removed.

7. Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass cannot be created or destroyed, just changed from one form to another.
