2. Topic: Chemical Reactions Essential Question: What pieces of evidence indicate a chemical reaction has taken place?
Chemical Reactions
Involve a change in the chemical composition of substances
Something new has been formed so it is not possible to get back the original substances.
For example, can you take an egg that is cooked, and turn it back to a raw egg?
