In this unit, students will explain the difference between chemical and physical changes. Fifth graders will also explain changes instates of water. Students will plan and carry out investigations about these changes. Physical changes do not change the makeupof a substance; they only change the substance’s form. Examples of physical changes are crushing, cutting, tearing, folding, andthe changing of an object’s state of matter. Changes in the states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) occur due to a change intemperature; these physical changes do not change what the substance is. When a chemical reaction occurs, a new substance isformed that has different properties from the original substance. Lastly, students will obtain, evaluate, and communicateinformation through literacy embedded strategies.
Physical change: change that makes something differentwithout changing the makeup of the material (e.g.cutting, folding, melting)
Chemical Change‐ happens when matter breaks downinto two or more substances or when more than onesubstance is combined to form a new substance
Matter‐ anything that has mass and takes up space
Mass‐ the amount of matter in an object
Substance‐ matter of any form that cannot be brokendown into separate elements by physical means but canbe broken down using chemical changes.
Mixture‐ something that contains two or moresubstances that are not combined chemically
Change of State: occurs when a substance changes fromone state to another (solid, liquid, gas).
Freezing Point‐ the temperature at which matter turnsinto a solid
Melting Point‐ the temperature at which matter turnsinto a liquid
Boiling Point‐the temperature at which matter turnsinto a gas
Water vapor‐ water in a gaseous state, especially whendiffused as a vapor in the atmosphere and at atemperature below boiling point
Physical properties‐properties that are measurable andcan be seen.
S5P1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicateinformation to explain the differencesbetween a physical change and a chemicalchange.
a. Plan and carry out investigations of physical changes by manipulating, separating andmixing dry and liquid materials.b. Construct an argument based onobservations to support a claim that thephysical changes in the state of water are dueto temperature changes, which cause smallparticles that cannot be seen to movedifferently.c. Plan and carry out an investigation todetermine if a chemical change occurredbased on observable evidence (color, gas,temperature change, odor, new substanceproduced)
