recycling!
Examples of Melting:

Ice Melting: One common example of melting is when ice cubes are left outside on a
warm day. As the sun shines on them or the temperature gets warmer, the ice cubes
start to melt and turn into water.
Chocolate Melting: Another example is when you heat chocolate in a microwave or
over a stove. The solid chocolate turns into a liquid, making it easier to spread or use
for making desserts like chocolate-covered strawberries.
Candle Wax Melting: When you light a candle, the heat from the flame melts the
wax. The melted wax then drips down the candle, creating a pool of liquid wax that
fuels the flame.

Real-Life Applications/Uses:

Cooking: Melting is used in cooking to transform solid ingredients into liquids. For
example, butter is melted before adding it to cake batter or melted cheese is used as
a topping for nachos.
Making Popsicles: Melting is involved in making popsicles. You pour liquid juice or
flavored water into molds and then freeze them. When you take them out of the
freezer and let them sit, the popsicles start to melt, turning back into liquid.
Recycling: Melting is used to recycle metals like aluminum and steel. Scrap metal is
melted down at high temperatures to make new products, like aluminum cans or steel
beams, instead of throwing it away.
Art and Crafts: Melting can be used in art and crafts projects. For example, crayons
can be melted and poured into molds to make new crayons with different shapes or
colors.

What is evaporation?
In the demonstration earlier, if the melted ice cubes, which have turned into liquid,
are continually exposed to high temperatures, the liquid will eventually turn into gas. Understanding evaporation helps

Examples of Evaporation:

Drying Clothes: After washing your clothes, you hang them outside to dry. As the
sun shines on them and the air around them gets warm, the water on the clothes
evaporates, and they become dry.
Puddles Disappearing: After it rains, you might notice that puddles on the ground
disappear even if it's not sunny. This happens because the water in the puddles
slowly evaporates into the air.
Steam from Boiling Water: When you heat water on a stove to make tea or cook
pasta, steam rises from the pot. This steam is water vapor, formed because the water
is evaporating.

Real-Life Applications/Uses:

Swimming Pool Evaporation: Have you ever noticed that a swimming pool gets
lower over time, even if nobody takes water out? This is because water evaporates
from the surface of the pool, especially on hot days. That's why sometimes we need
to add more water to keep the pool full.
Drying Wet Surfaces: If you spill water on the kitchen counter or the bathroom floor,
you can wipe it up with a towel. But what happens if you leave it there? Eventually,
the water evaporates, and the surface becomes dry again.
Water Cycle: Evaporation is a crucial part of the water cycle. When the sun heats
up bodies of water like oceans, rivers, and lakes, water evaporates into the air. This
water vapor rises, cools down, and forms clouds. Later, when the clouds get heavy
with water, it falls back to the ground as rain, snow, or hail.

6
Making Salt: Ever heard of sea salt? It's made by evaporating seawater. When
seawater is left out in the sun, the water evaporates, leaving behind salt crystals.
These crystals are collected and cleaned to make the salt we use in cooking.

What is Freezing? Understanding freezing helps us

know how liquids can change
Freezing occurs when a liquid turns into a solid when it gets cold enough. Imagine into solids when they get cold,

Examples of Freezing:

Making Ice Cubes: One common example of freezing is making ice cubes. You pour
water into an ice cube tray and put it in the freezer. The water freezes and turns into
solid ice cubes as the water gets cold.
Freezing Popsicles: When you make popsicles at home, you pour juice or flavored
water into molds and put them in the freezer. Over time, the liquid freezes, turning
into tasty frozen treats.
Ice Cream: Have you ever seen an ice cream machine at an ice cream shop? It works
by freezing a mixture of cream, sugar, and flavors while stirring it. This makes creamy
ice cream that you can enjoy on a hot day.

Real-Life Applications/Uses:

Preserving Food: Freezing is a great way to keep food fresh for longer. You can
freeze fruits, vegetables, meat, and leftovers to prevent them from spoiling. This way,
you can enjoy your favorite foods even if you can't eat them right away.
Keeping Cool: Ice and frozen treats are perfect for keeping cool on a hot day.
Whether you're drinking a cold glass of lemonade with ice cubes or enjoying a frozen
dessert like ice cream or popsicles, freezing helps us stay refreshed when it's hot
outside.
Transporting Perishable Goods: In places where it's hard to keep food fresh, like
during long journeys or in remote areas, freezing is used to preserve perishable

7
goods. Foods like meat, fish, and vegetables are frozen before being transported to
keep them from spoiling.
Making Frozen Treats: Freezing is essential for making all kinds of delicious frozen
treats, such as ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, and gelato. These treats are enjoyed
by people all over the world, especially on hot summer days.

Physical Changes:
Physical changes are alterations in the appearance or state of a substance without
changing its chemical composition. In other words, the substance remains the same
at the molecular level before and after the change. Physical changes can involve
changes in state (solid, liquid, gas), shape, size, or phase.

● Melting (Solid to Liquid):

Melting is a physical change in which a solid substance changes into a liquid
state when heated to its melting point. During melting, the intermolecular
forces holding the particles of the solid together weaken, allowing the
particles to move more freely and flow past each other. This results in the
solid substance transforming into a liquid while maintaining its chemical
composition. Common examples of melting include ice melting into water
and wax melting into a liquid state when heated.

● Evaporation (Liquid to Gas):

Evaporation is a physical change in which a liquid substance changes into
a gas state at temperatures below its boiling point. During evaporation,
molecules at the surface of the liquid gain enough kinetic energy to overcome
the intermolecular forces holding them together and escape into the
surrounding space as vapor. This process occurs spontaneously and
continues until an equilibrium is reached between the rate of evaporation
and the rate of condensation. Common examples of evaporation include
water evaporating from puddles, drying clothes on a clothesline, and the
gradual disappearance of liquid perfume from a container.

● Freezing (Liquid to Solid):

Freezing is a physical change in which a liquid substance changes into a
solid state when cooled to its freezing point. During freezing, the kinetic
energy of the molecules decreases, causing them to slow down and form
orderly arrangements known as crystals. As a result, the liquid substance
transforms into a solid with a fixed shape and volume while retaining its
chemical composition. Common examples of freezing include water freezing

13
 into ice cubes, liquid wax solidifying into candles, and the solidification of
melted chocolate when cooled.

In summary, physical changes involve alterations in the state or appearance of a

substance without changing its chemical composition. Melting, evaporation, and
freezing are examples of physical changes that occur when substances transition
between different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) due to changes in temperature
and energy.

Chemical Changes:
Chemical changes, also known as chemical reactions, involve the transformation of
one or more substances into new substances with different chemical properties.
Chemical changes can occur due to various factors, including exposure of materials
to high temperatures and mixing of different substances. When materials are
exposed to high temperatures, the increased energy can break existing chemical
bonds and facilitate the formation of new bonds, leading to the creation of new
substances.

Evidence of Chemical Change:

1. Formation of Charcoal: When wood is heated to high temperatures in the

absence of oxygen, it undergoes a chemical change called carbonization. This
process removes the water and other substances from the wood, leaving behind a
black, carbon-rich material called charcoal.
Example: Think of when you have a bonfire or grill marshmallows over a campfire.
After being exposed to the heat, the wood turns black and becomes charcoal.

2. Formation of Ash: When organic materials, like wood or paper, are burned, they
undergo a chemical change called combustion. During combustion, the material
reacts with oxygen in the air and breaks down into new substances, including
ashes. Ashes are the solid remnants left behind after the burning process.
Example: After you burn a piece of paper or wood, the gray powdery substance
that's left behind is the ash. It's what's left over when the material burns up.

3. Rust Formation: Rust forms when iron or iron-containing metals are exposed
to oxygen and moisture over time. This exposure causes a chemical reaction called

14
oxidation, where iron atoms combine with oxygen atoms to form iron oxide, which
appears as reddish-brown rust.
Example: You might have seen rusty nails or metal objects that have turned
reddish-brown after being exposed to air and moisture for a while. This is because
the metal has undergone a chemical change and turned into rust.

4. Formation of Bubbles: Bubbles form when a gas is produced during a chemical

reaction. This happens when two or more substances react chemically, producing
a gas as one of the products. The gas forms bubbles that rise to the surface.
Example: When you mix baking soda and vinegar together, bubbles form because
a chemical reaction occurs between the two substances, producing carbon dioxide
gas.

5. Production of Smoke: Smoke is produced when materials burn incompletely,

leading to the release of tiny particles and gases into the air. It occurs during the
combustion of organic materials, such as wood, paper, or fossil fuels.
Example: When you light a campfire or a candle, smoke rises from the flames.
This is because the materials are undergoing combustion, and smoke is produced
as a result.

2. Reflection on Learning
● Distribute paper and pencils or markers to each student.
● Ask the students to draw two large circles on their paper, labeling one circle
"Physical Changes" and the other "Chemical Changes."
● Encourage students to think of examples of physical and chemical changes
they have observed or learned about. They can write or draw these examples
in the appropriate circle.
● Alternatively, provide a list of examples for students to choose from if they
need assistance.

Reflection Questions:
● Once the students have filled out their circles, lead a discussion about their
observations.

15
 ● Ask questions such as:
1. What examples did you include in each circle?
2. How are physical changes different from chemical changes?
3. Can you think of any examples that show both physical and chemical
changes happening together?
4. Why is it important to understand the difference between physical and
chemical changes?
Sharing and Conclusion:
● Give students the opportunity to share their reflections with the class, either
by presenting their drawings or discussing their examples.
● Summarize the key points of the discussion, emphasizing the importance of
understanding physical and chemical changes in our everyday lives.
● Encourage students to continue exploring and observing examples of
physical and chemical changes both inside and outside the classroom.
