How do we know chemical changes have happened? _______________________________________
What is the name of the substance(s) that is (are) reacting in a chemical change? _______________
What is the name of the substance(s) that is (are) formed in a chemical change? _________________
In a physical change the original substance still exits, only in a changed form. In a chemical
change, new substances with new properties are produced.
Classify each of the following as a physical (P) or a chemical change (C).
1 Sodium hydroxide dissolves in water
2 Hydrochloric acid reacts with lye to produce salt water
3 A pellet of sodium is sliced in two
4 Water is changed to steam
5 Iron rusts
6 Evaporation
7 Milk sours
8 Ice melting
9 Sugar dissolves in water
10 Wood rotting
11 Food digested by the stomach
12 Pancakes cooking in a griddle
13 Sugar is ground into a power
Chemical or physical change sort
DIRECTIONS: Sort cards as either chemical or physical changes. Once you have finished, check them with your
teacher and then glue the changes in the appropriate box below.

 Bolts or machine screws, hex nuts and washers to fit Petri dishes
Procedure
1. Select one of the Petri dishes samples.
2. Imagine that each object represents either an atom or a molecule.
3. Identify the collection of objects in the Petri dish as representing an element, a compound, or a
mixture.
4. Write down your choice on the data table.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other Petri dishes.
6. Get ready to defend your choices with the class.

Properties of matter
1. Match the vocabulary words with the definitions
______ Physical Property
_______ Chemical Property
_______ Intensive Property
_______ Extensive Property
A. A property that depends on the amount of matter.
B. A property that can be observed without changing the
identity of the object.
C. A property that does not depend on the amount of
matter present.
D. A property that can be observed only when an object is
changing into a new object.

In order to observe a physical property you use your senses and after you observe the property, the substance is
still the same. In order to observe a chemical property the substance has to experience a chemical change and
after you have observed the property, the substance is not the same.
Determine whether the following listed properties are: extensive or intensive, and whether they are chemical or
physical. All answer must include both kinds of properties—extensive/intensive and chemical/physical.
