CHANGES IN MATTER: CHEMICAL & PHYSICAL; VOCABULARY & EXPERIMENTS

The unit on physical and chemical change in matter explores the fundamental transformations substances undergo, emphasizing key vocabulary such as physical properties, chemical properties, states of matter, and reaction types. Through a series of engaging station labs, students will investigate properties of matter, conduct experiments to identify physical and chemical changes, and analyze the outcomes. Worksheets will reinforce understanding by prompting students to apply concepts and differentiate between various changes in matter. Additional experiment suggestions, accompanied by experiment writing templates, will encourage students to design and conduct their own investigations, fostering critical thinking and scientific inquiry skills. Through this comprehensive approach, students will develop a deep understanding of the principles governing physical and chemical changes in matter.
