Physical change…

because the bits of dust are STILL made of

WOOD.

Chopping wood(Chopping = cutting into large pieces)

Physical change…

because after the wood is chopped, it is STILL

made of WOOD.

Wood becoming sawdust(Sawdust is the small particles of wood that fall to the ground when you cut wood.)

Physical change…

because the sugar still exists; it is just broken up

into bits in the drink.

Burned logs

Chemical change…

because the wood turns into smoke & ash. It cannot be changed back into WOOD.

Sugar dissolved in water(Dissolved = melted. When sugar dissolves in water, you cannot see the sugar anymore, but it’s there.)

Physical change…because the substances have NOT

changed into new substances.

Salt and pepper mixed together

Physical change…

because the salt and pepper still exist; they

are just mixed with each other.

Chemical change…

because the metal is CHANGED into a NEW

substance called RUST.

Fruit salad tossed together(“Tossed together” = mixed together)

Physical change…

because the fruit has not changed into

different substances.

Rusting bike(Rust occurs when metal reacts with oxygen. The oxygen is destroying the metal and breaking it down into very small pieces.)

Physical change…

because the substance is STILL water, even though

it’s frozen solid.

Gasoline burning(Inside an engine, gasoline burns (combusts) to produce energy so the car can go.)

Chemical change…

because when something BURNS, it

turns into NEW substances like smoke

and smog.

Liquid water freezing(Liquids freeze when they get cold and turn into a solid.)

Physical change…

because it is STILL made of the same substance (water).

Rocket fuel igniting(Ignite = to start a fire. When rocket fuel burns, it produces energy to make the rocket go.)

Chemical change…

because when something burns, it

turns into NEW substances like smoke.

Ice melting(Something melts when it changes from a frozen solid to a liquid.)

Physical change…

Because it’s STILL all water…nothing

new is made.

Minerals forming(Minerals form deep within the earth when certain elements are changed due to the intense heat and pressure inside the earth.)

Chemical change…

because NEW substances are made.

Chemical change

Dead plants decomposing(Decomposing = the nutrients from something that was once alive, but now is dead, are going back into the ground and can be used again by other plants.)

Chemical change

Silver tarnishing(Tarnish forms on silver when the silver reacts with the oxygen in the air. It forms a greenish-black substance on the silver that can be removed with special polish.)

Firecrackers exploding

Chemical change

Ocean water evaporating and leaving salt behind(Evaporation occurs when water molecules float up into the air to form clouds. Anything that was in the water will stay behind.)

Chemical change

Saliva dissolving starch in food(Saliva = the water your mouth produces. To dissolve = to break down into very small pieces using water. Starch = carbohydrates, a type of energy in food.)

Chemical change

Saliva breaking the chemical bonds of meat protein(The liquid in your mouth reacts with the meat to separate the protein so your body can absorb it.)
