Warm-up
31 July 2017
From the “Cooking with Chemistry” activity,
describe how did you use phase change to
complete the final task of separating the salt
from the solution?

interact to form products with different
chemical properties.

What’s the Difference?



Matter can change
Examples: Freeze, cut, burn, etc.
2 types of changes

Physical changes
Chemical changes
Physical Property
 Characteristic
of matter
that does not change the
substance (using senses)
Physical Changes

Matter changes form WITHOUT becoming
something new
–

You start and end with same thing (see below)
Examples: cutting, freezing, melting, etc.
Molecules in Physical Changes
Chemical Property
 Describes
matter on its ability
to change into new matter
– Flammability:
ability of substance
to burn
– Reactivity: ability of substance to
change into new substance
Chemical Changes

Matter changes, becomes NEW substance
–


Start and end with different things
Usually irreversible (can’t change back)
Examples: burning, rusting, milk going sour

A chemicalChange
reaction

between two materials
occurs if the properties
of the products (what
you make) are different
from the reactants (what
you mix). Was what you
observed today a
chemical reaction?
Explain!

happened?
• What are evidences to support that chemical
reaction happened?
• After a chemical reaction will it be possible to
bring back the reactants to their original form
(state and properties)?

Objective
To correctly identify and differentiate
physical change from chemical change.
Question
Are changes (physical and chemical)
only present inside the laboratory?
How are physical change different from
chemical change?
If physical change does not produce a
new product, then I can ….

Standards 8.5.c.
I know chemical reactions
usually liberate or
absorbs heat.
When chemical reactions occur, the
connections between atoms must be
broken and rearranged. In order to do
