This document provides definitions for chemical and physical changes and instructs students to design an experiment to test for one of these changes. A chemical change results in new substances, while a physical change only alters the size, shape, or state of a substance without forming anything new. Students are asked to choose an experiment, make a hypothesis about whether it will demonstrate a chemical or physical change, outline the experiment steps, and report their observations and conclusion.

CHEMICAL REACTION: Any change in matter that results in one or more different kinds of matter forms is called a chemical reaction. If the matter has changed into something completely different, a chemical reaction has taken place. PHYSICAL REACTION: Any change in the size, shape, or state of matter with no new matter being formed is called a physical change.
