Physical Properties and Changes Physical Properties are used to observe or describe matter. How do you observe or describe someone? • Height Let’s describe • Hair. Schrute Color Dwight • Eye Color • Weight • Age • Clothing Color

Physical Properties and Changes When we observe or describe something or someone we use

Physical Properties and Changes When we observe or describe something or someone we use “drivers license” descriptions. When we observe or describe MATTER we use some of the same descriptions.

List as many physical properties as you can…

Physical Properties and Changes Things you observe and can describe about matter: • Color

Physical Properties and Changes Things you observe and can describe about matter: • Color • Size • Smell • Freezing Point • Melting Point • Mass • Shape • Volume • Density

Physical Changes • Do NOT change the structure of matter when it is observed

Physical Changes • Do NOT change the structure of matter when it is observed or described. • What does “structure” mean? How the atoms are stuck together! Each letter is a different atom, and the lines that connect the letters show the STRUCTURE of the substance. And here each color represents a different atom and this picture shows the STRUCTURE of the

Physical Changes A physical change involves a change in which the particles/atoms are not rearranged – it is the same substance before and after. Before Change After Change

Examples of Physical Changes • Shape The shape of the wood changed. But is

Examples of Physical Changes • Shape The shape of the wood changed. But is it still a piece of wood?

Physical Changes • Color The tip of the nail changed color. But is it still a fingernail?

Physical Changes • Melting Point The ice cream melted. But does it still taste

Physical Changes • Melting Point The ice cream melted. But does it still taste like ice cream?

• What is the “structure” of water? • What is the “structure” of ice? • What is the “structure” of steam?

 • We just observed one of the physical properties of H 2 O!

• We just observed one of the physical properties of H 2 O! PHASE CHANGE: how a substance changes between solid, liquid, and gas We observed of how H 2 O is different in each phase, but the structure of H 2 O never changed!

You can think of Physical Changes like changing the font of a word… Science

You can think of Physical Changes like changing the font of a word… Science Class Science class Science Class The “structure” of the words is still the same, even though the physical appearance changed.

Chemical Properties and Changes • And you can think of Chemical Changes like rearranging

Chemical Changes The letters are the same, but we’ve rearranged the structure and made

Chemical Changes The letters are the same, but we’ve rearranged the structure and made new words! This is what happens in a chemical change!

Chemical Change • A chemical change is when the particles of a substance are

Chemical Change • A chemical change is when the particles of a substance are broken apart and rearranged.
