This document discusses the difference between physical and chemical changes in matter. A physical change alters the form or properties of a substance without changing its chemical composition, like crushing or cutting. A chemical change transforms a substance into different substances with new properties, as occurs in burning, rusting, or dissolving. Examples of each type of change are given to illustrate the distinguishing characteristics.
2. To study the difference between
a physical and chemical
change.
3. Matter is everywhere.
Matter is anything that takes up space
and has mass.
Matter is constantly experiencing both
chemical and physical changes.
4. A physical change alters the form of a
substance, but does not change it to another
substance.
It changes shape or size
It dissolves.
It changes phase (freezes,
boils, evaporates, condenses)
Example:
Making Orange Juice
5. Physical changes occur when matter changes its
property but not its chemical nature.
Physical property changes could include a change
in: texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass,
weight, and density.
12. Chemical changes are changes matter undergoes
when it becomes new or different matter.
It burns
Temperature changes without heating/cooling
It bubbles (makes a gas)
It changes color
It forms a precipitate
13. When a substance undergoes a chemical
change, it is changed into a different
substance with different properties.
To identify a chemical change look for signs
such as color change, bubbling and fizzing,
light production, smoke, and presence of
heat.
Example:
Baking a Cake
16. A chemical change occurs when fireworks are
used. Fireworks are made of metals such as
magnesium and copper. These change chemically
as they light up the sky.
23. Tears up paper?

24. Write a paragraph about the difference
between a chemical and physical change.
Give examples of each.
