  1. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CHANGES Which is which? How do you know?

  2. Chemical and Physical changes • Matter can change form! • Two major changes are CHEMICAL and PHYSICAL. • Let’s see what the differences are…. • READY????

  3. PHYSICAL CHANGES • It is the SAME substance – just changes form.

  4. PHYSICAL CHANGES • It is the SAME substance – just changes form.

  5. One example of a Physical Change • Water can freeze! But it is still water, no matter what form it is in.

  6. More examples of Physical changes • A piece of clay can be formed into something else. • Someone’s hair can be cut or colored. • A pencil can be broken. • The form is changed but the matter stays the same. Clay is clay. Hair is hair and a pencil is still a pencil.

  7. CHEMICAL CHANGES • In a chemical change, the substance changes into something else entirely! • Sometimes is resembles the original matter; other times it looks totally different. • It usually cannot be reversed.

  8. Signs of a CHEMICAL change • A chemical change has hints and tell-tale signs: • Color change • Releases energy • Can give off an odor • Produces gases or solids • It is not easily reversed

  9. CHEMICAL CHANGES • In a chemical change, the substance changes into something entirely different. It is not easily reversed.

  10. Chemical change

  11. Stinky!!!!!! Peeeuuuu! • Yes, as a fish decomposes, the sure does give off an odor!

  12. Chemical change..Energy release! WOW….it is the 4th of July and you have a huge firecracker to set off!

  13. Will it be a Chemical or Physical Change?

  14. Energy release!

  15. What was it? Chemical or physicalor both? • Right! There was a chemical change. Light and heat were given off, there was an odor, you cannot reverse the fire cracker….but did the paper and materials of the firecracker change, too? • Mostly, this was a chemical change but probably a few physical changes, too.

  16. Color change – Chemical change

  17. Chemical change • Coal is a rock made up from ancient plants. • It can burn!

  18. Not easily reversed – chemical change!

  19. CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL CHANGES? WHICH IS WHICH? • LET’S TRY A FEW EXAMPLES! • READY?

  20. Chemical or Physical Change or No change? • Water goes through a dam and turns a turbine. Electricity is a result. But, be careful, does the water itself change into electricity?

  21. Chemical, physical or no change. • No change here! • The liquid water stays liquid water. • The water does work, however, and helps the turbines in the dam make electricity.

  22. Chemical,Physical or No change?This is a gas stove burner.

  23. Which was it? • CHEMICAL change, right? • The gas is burning and changing to a flame. • The flame gives off heat and some light. • You cannot change the flame back into the natural gas. • Some natural gas has a bad odor.

  24. Let’s review! • Physical Changes: • The substance just changes form. • Solid to liquid; liquid to solid; liquid to gas. • It stays what it was originally and most times CAN be reversed.

  25. Chemical Changes • These result in: • - odors • - heat and or light given off (energy) • Cannot be easily reversed • Color change • Or any combination of these.

  26. QUICK QUIZ • 1. What change do you see when you make a paper snowflake? • 2. What change do you see when you light a match? • 3. What change do you see when you make Oobleck? (Be careful!)

  27. Physical change! When you cut paper into a snowflake, you are only changing the physical part – it is still the same paper.

  28. THINK!!! You light a match and it flames up. • It gives off heat and light, it changes color, it has an odor, and you cannot easily change the burnt match back into a normal, unburned match – right? • Soooo, it is a chemical change.

  29. Now, the hardest one! • Oobleckis a substance made up of only corn starch and water. Sometimes it acts like a solid. Other times like a liquid.

  30. When you make it, is this a chemical or physical change or no change? • Does Oobleck change color? • Does Oobleck give off light, or any energy? • Does Oobleck give off an odor? • Does Oobleck produce a gas? • Could you reverse it – for example, take away the water and leave dry cornstarch?

  31. RIGHT! • It is a physical change. The water can be evaporated away and the dry cornstarch left. There is no energy release, no odor created, no light, nothing.

  32. Let’s Review…

  33. Congratulations! • NOW, YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CHANGES!
