Page 1: Introduction
Reflect on how leaves changing color is both physical and chemical.

Page 2: What is the difference between physical and chemical changes?

Term Definition Example
Physical Change
Chemical Change

Page 3: What happens to molecules during physical and chemical changes?

List examples of physical changes.

Compare what happens to molecules in physical vs. chemical changes.

List signs scientists look for to indicate that a chemical change may have occurred.

Explain why further investigations are sometimes needed to determine if a chemical change
really occurred.

Page 4: How is molecular motion related to phase changes?

Describe how molecular motion and distance between molecules change as ice is heated to
become a liquid and then a gas.

Phase Changes Video: Define each phase change and describe it in terms of energy and particle
behavior.
 Evaporation:
 Condensation:
 Melting:
 Freezing:
 Sublimation:
 Deposition:
