chemical and physical different characteristics, such as decaying
change. animal or plant matter, burning, rusting, and
cooking. (L)

Key Vocabulary: *HOT Questions:

 Matter 1. How do Materials change
 Rusting chemically?
 Tarnish 2. How do materials change
 Decaying physically?
 Burning
 Combustion
 Digestion
 Photosynthesis
 Cooking
 Physical change
 Chemical change

ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
What is the difference between a chemical and physical
change? How can you tell?

TIME MONDAY

Meaningful Activities:

I do- PowerPoint (students taking guided notes)

Slide one- define chemical change
Slide 2- Burning
Slide 3 Decaying
Slide 4- oxidation- show students apple that had been cut
apart earlier this morning. Discuss how the apple would be
different if it hadn’t been cut, why?
Slide 5-Cooking is always a chemical change Even though it
looks like a different, it has a different texture and odor and
it cannot go back to the way it was before so therefore it
has changed chemically.
- Pass around cooked and uncooked pasta, allow
students to discuss how they differ and t-chart on
guided notes.
Slide 6- rusting
Slide 7- tarnish
Slide 8-digestion
Slide 9- photosynthesis
Slide 10- combustion

Tuesday

We do – Complete chemistry in a bag lab.

SWBAT answer the following questions in the student side of
their journal:
1. Which chemical inside is changing color (baking soda,
alcohol, turmeric, etc.)?
2. Why do you think so?
3. How could you find out?
Encourage students to add any two ingredients to see which
is responsible for color change
4. How can you tell there is gas or air inside the bag? Can
you see it?
5. What new chemical or chemicals are being produced?
How can you tell?
6. Where do you think the heat is coming from?

You do-
Identify different changes as physical or chemical. (See
attached)

Exit ticket-
1.Describe the difference between physical and chemical
change.
2. Give two examples of chemical changes.
