In science class, we are currently learning about Physical changes and chemical changes and how to identify physical/chemical changes
Physical change
What it is:
A Physical change occurs when atoms or molecules speed up or slow down. A physical change can also happen when a substance is dissolved in water (or other substance). No new substances are formed.
Examples:
Dissolving salt in water
Boiling water
Chopping wood
Breaking a glass
ANY phase change
Chemical change
What it is:
When atoms rearrange and bond together differently to form one or more NEW products with DIFFERENT characteristics than the original reactions
Examples:
Lighting a match
Rusting iron
Candle burning
Baking a cake
Digesting food
Fireworks
Property
What it is:
A characteristic that can be observed or measured
Examples:
Density
Flammability
Odor
