Instructions: Buddy Lab - Physical and Chemical Change

You’ve learned a lot about matter lately and now is your chance to teach someone younger about what you know. Your job is to design a lab that will help a primary student experiment and understand what physical and chemical changes are. Follow the guiding questions below to help you create your lab.

Question:
What do you want your buddy to learn about physical (states of matter) and chemical changes? Think of at least 1 concept of each change you could teach them.

Materials:
Make a list of all the materials that you need.

Safety Concerns:
Make a list of all related safety concerns and how you will handle them.

Procedure:
Write out step by step instructions that your buddy

Include information that you have learned in this unit, such as what particles are, changes of state, definitions, clues that physical or chemical changes have occurred, etc. They need to have enough information that they can figure out which demonstration is a physical change, which one is a chemical change, and why. It would also be very helpful to give them a summary of clues that physical or chemical changes have occurred.

Well particles are very tiny things move around all the time. Everything are made out of particles.

Molecules are even smaller than particles, but the difference between them is that particles are blocks and the molecules are the support.

Changes of stage is when solid turns into a liquid which turns into a gas. For example, When you melt an ice cube (which is the solid) you melt it and into water (which is the liquid) it does this because the molecules start to speed up because of the heat. When you heat up water the molecules speed up even more until the water can’t contain it anymore and it turns into gas!

Some clues to know if it is a chemical change is, when a new colour appears out of clear chemicals, if heat, light, or sound is given off (or absorbed), bubbles of gas are formed there may be a new odour, a solid material (called precipitate) forms in a liquid, and the change is difficult or impossible to reverse.

Some clues to know if it is a physical change is if the colour changes, if the temperatures rises or drops, if the shape changes, and if the state changes - for example ice melting is still

    I: Introduction: a. background information- Physical Changes are changes that do not involve a change in molecular structure. They can be identified by a change in size, a change in shape, or a change in the state of matter. Chemical changes are changes that involve the re-arrangement of atoms in the molecule.…

    Lab 2 Summary In this lab, the purpose was to understand how to use a DMM to measure different things like resistances, current, and voltages as well as how to successfully comprehend the electrostatic relationship between various objects. In the first part of our lab we learned how to use a Digital Multimeter by using a simulator to draw diagrams of circuits. This helped give us a basic understanding that when dealing with a circuit and tools like a DMM, you have to connect wires to certain places and make sure the positive is touching the positive side. In the second portion of the experiment, we learned how to use the equipment that will be used for the other labs.…

    Solids are anything with definite volume/definite shape. Liquids are substances with definite volume and indefinite shape. Gases are substances with indefinite volume and indefinite shape. Physical properties are things that can be measured or observed without changing the identity of a substance. Physical changes are changes of matter without changing the identity of the substance.…

    “Classifying Chemical Reactions - Lab Report” I - Introduction - Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. In chemistry, chemical and physical changes are used to help scientists understand how different substances react given various circumstances. A chemical change is any change resulting in the formation of a new chemical substance(s). A physical property is any change that does not involve the chemical makeup of a substance at all. In total there are five (5) chemical reactions.…

    Single Replacement Reactions and Double Replacement Reactions A chemical reaction is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction. The evolution of energy as heat and light, production of gas, formation of a precipitate, and color change are 4 indicators of a chemical reaction. Two out of the six types of reactions are the single and the double replacement reactions. During single replacement, one element replaces another element in a compound. There are two different possibilities: In one, a cation replaces another; represented by this equation: AX + Y ---> YX + A.…

    On October 15th, 2015 Caitlin, Christy and I visited the Long Island Children Museum to learn more about fun activities to do with children for a science lesson. When we first got there and looked around the first floor we all looked at each other because we didn’t think we would find anything here that had to do with science. After walking around the first floor for a little bit, we realized there were two sections here that had to deal with science. The first section we realized was called Bubbles and we didn’t go in it right away because there were so many little children in there and we didn’t want to bother them. So, then we went to the second section on the first floor which was called the Tool Box.…

    Change through endurance can last and persist through time. In my opinion, endurantism causes this change which corresponds of our ways of thinking of how an object enduring through change is defined as being present in a whole at each time it exists. The idea of being present is often described as not having temporal parts. In the concept of change, endurance would be lasting through time but in a way of temporal parts. To begin the process of solving the problem of change, we must first inquire the major problems enduratists have proposed that satisfies how change can affect the illustration of complementary properties, how the property of change can alter an object’s ability to lose or gain properties, and to analyze the…

    An atom is the tiniest piece of an element that is made up of a nucleus that contains a combination of neutrons, protons, and one or more electrons. A molecule is the tiny physical portion of an element or compound that is made up of one or more like atoms and has two or more different atoms in a compound. A compound is the product of two or more chemical elements that have been attached together. Two examples of atoms are Hydrogen, H, and Oxygen, O. Hydrogen and Oxygen are single particle elements. These elements consist of at least one proton.…
