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 …show more content…
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.
Lab Report: Buddy Lab - Physical and Chemical Change
Question:
Sugar:
Is this a physical or chemical change? What will happen if I heat up sugar and water together?
Oobleck:
Is the oobleck a physical or chemical change? What is oobleck is it a liquid or a solid?
Materials:
The materials we used for the Sugar to Caramel experiment was:
1 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of water
A pot or pan
A spoon or whisk
The materials we used for the oobleck experiment was:
1 cup of water
2 cups of cornstarch
A bowl
Food coloring (optional)
A spoon or a …show more content…
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
