Today we continued our exploration of chemical and physical changes and started an 8 station lab conducting experiments about these concepts. We also watched the two videos below to continue adding to our background knowledge. We will complete the lab tomorrow, it you need another lab sheet you can download the file below.
In class students took copious notes about physical and chemical changes. If you missed class you can look through today's slides below. Also, we did demonstrations of different types of chemical changes. Video demonstrations of each of the types of reactions shown in class are in the playlist at the bottom of this post.
