Original PromptCreate a hands on lab with 6 stations with a focus of before, during and after
This lab activity focuses on distinguishing between chemical and physical changes through a hands-on approach. Students engage with six experimental stations where they observe, document, and analyze different types of changes. Each station provides a unique scenario, such as changing the shape of paper, mixing vinegar and baking soda, dissolving sugar in water, and observing the reaction of milk with vinegar. The lab reinforces concepts of physical changes, where substances remain the same despite changes in form, and chemical changes, where new substances are created. Students complete sketches, reflections, and claims based on their observations, reinforcing their understanding of how matter changes in everyday life.
