1
Physical and Chemical Changes
2
Physical and Chemical Properties Everything around us has physical and chemical properties.
3
Physical Properties Characteristics you can observe without changing the substance into something new. –Use your senses to describe –state of matter –measurement
4
Use your senses… How does it look, smell, sound, feel, taste (don’t taste it unless the teacher says it’s ok)
5
What state of matter is it? (solid, liquid, or gas)
6
Measure it….mass, weight, volume, length, width, height, density, temperature, magnetic?
7
Physical Properties List as many physical properties as you can Color Temperature Feel Smell State Weight Length Density
8
Chemical Properties Will it burn, explode, react with other elements? Characteristics that you can only observe by changing the substance into something new. –You can’t always tell chemical properties just by looking
9
Chemical Properties List as many chemical properties as you can Will it burn Will it explode Can it react with other things
10
Physical and Chemical Changes Matter around us can undergo changes. Physical Changes Chemical Changes
11
Physical Change A change in which the form or appearance of matter changes but not its composition –Change of state –Change of shape –Dissolving
12
Physical Changes changing state melting – solid to liquid condensation – gas to liquid freezing – liquid to solid sublimation – solid to gas vaporization – liquid to gas deposition – gas to solid
13
Changes in States
14
Physical Changes change of shape Matter can change shape cutting tearing grinding crumpling bending
15
Physical Changes dissolving When you mix or dissolve one thing into another, it is a physical change
16
Chemical Change A change in which the composition of matter changes and new substances are formed –It cannot be turned back into the original substance
17
Chemical Change Signs that a chemical change may have taken place –Color change –Absorption or release of energy –Odor –Formation of gases or solids –Can’t be reversed
18
Chemical Changes Iron + oxygen and water = rust silver + oxygen and water = tarnish
19
Chemical Changes Burned wood Cooked food
20
Chemical Changes Leaves turning in fall Spoiled food
21
Chemical Changes Lightning bug Antacid tablet
22
Physical or Chemical Copper jewelry Statue of Liberty orangeOrange juiceOrange cake copper Physical Chemical PhysicalChemical
23
Law of Conservation of Mass The total mass of matter before and after a physical or chemical change is the same. Matter cannot be created or destroyed The particles inside the matter rearrange to form new substances
24
Law of Conservation of Mass Even though it appears that part of the candle disappears, it is just turned into a gas. –proven by Antoine Lavoisier

Directions: Take out all of the laminated cards. Find the “Physical Change” and “Chemical Change” cards. Using the posterboard, put the “physical change” card on the left side and the “chemical change” card on the right side. Now take out the remaining cards and lay them out in front of you. As a table, look at the picture and read the description on the back. Decide whether your group thinks each one is a physical change or a chemical change. Once everyone has agreed, place the card on the correct side of the poster. Record your answers in the table on youR worksheet by placing an “X” in the physical or chemical change box: Physical ChangeChemical Change
