    This document provides a lab activity for students to distinguish between physical and chemical changes. It defines physical changes as reversible changes in a substance's physical properties, like freezing water. Chemical changes are usually irreversible chemical reactions that form new substances, like rust forming on iron. Students are given examples and analyze situations to identify if they involve a physical or chemical change, explaining their reasoning. They then write a conclusion to explain the difference between physical and chemical changes to other students using examples.

    Physical and Chemical Changes Lab


    Physical Change: Usually reversible change in the physical properties of a substance, as size or shape:
    Example: Freezing a liquid is a physical change.

    Chemical Change: a usually irreversible chemical reaction involving the rearrangement of the atoms of one or more
    substances and a changein their chemical properties or composition, resulting in the formation of at least one new substance:
    Example: The formation of rust on iron is a chemical change.
    Data:
