Original PromptCreate an assessment on physical and chemical properties and changes that uses evidence and reasoning
This learning resource focuses on distinguishing between physical and chemical changes through experimental evidence. Students will engage with the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) framework to analyze different scenarios and make claims based on observed changes. Key indicators of change, both physical and chemical, are outlined, such as the absence of new substances in physical changes and the formation of new substances in chemical changes. The resource includes practical examples like melting ice, baking a cake, rusting iron, and a reaction between vinegar and baking soda, promoting critical thinking and observation skills in identifying the nature of changes.
