Science Lesson Plan: Physical and Chemical Changes (with Melting and

Boiling Points)

Duration: 30 minutes

---

Lesson Objectives

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

1. Understand the difference between physical and chemical changes.

2. Learn about melting and boiling points as physical changes.

3. Identify examples of physical and chemical changes in everyday life.

Script
1. Introduction (5 minutes)

Teacher: "Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about


physical changes and chemical changes. We will also talk about something
cool: melting points and boiling points. Does anyone know what those are?"

(Wait for responses.)

Teacher: "Let’s start with something simple. Look at this piece of paper. What
happens if I tear it into small pieces?"

(Tear a paper in front of them.)

"Did it change into something new, or is it still paper?"

Students: "It’s still paper!"

Teacher: "Yes! This is called a physical change. The paper looks different, but
it’s still paper. It didn’t turn into something new."

---

2. Physical Changes (7 minutes)

Teacher: "A physical change happens when something changes in size,


shape, or state, but it stays the same thing. For example:"

Melting ice into water.


Breaking a pencil into two pieces.

Folding a piece of paper.

Melting Point:

"Now let’s talk about something called the melting point. This is the
temperature where a solid turns into a liquid. For example, ice melts into
water at 0°C."

(Show an ice cube.)

"When I hold this ice cube, the heat from my hand makes it melt. It’s still
water, so this is a physical change."

Boiling Point:

"The boiling point is when a liquid turns into a gas. For example, water boils
at 100°C. Have you ever seen water bubbling in a pot on the stove?"

Students: "Yes!"

Teacher: "That bubbling is water turning into steam. The water doesn’t
change into something new, so this is also a physical change."

Activity:

"Let’s remember:

Melting happens at the melting point (solid → liquid).

Boiling happens at the boiling point (liquid → gas)."

3. Chemical Changes (7 minutes)

Teacher: "Now, let’s talk about chemical changes. This is when something
new is made, and we cannot easily change it back. For example:"

Cooking an egg.

Burning wood.

Rusting iron.

Demo:

(Mix vinegar with baking soda in a clear glass.)

Teacher: "Look! What is happening here?"

Students: "It’s bubbling!"

Teacher: "Yes! This is a chemical change because the vinegar and baking
soda make something new: a gas called carbon dioxide!"

Key Difference:

"In a chemical change, we cannot go back. For example, can we turn a


cooked egg back into a raw egg?"
Students: "No!"

4. Group Activity (6 minutes)

Teacher: "Now, I will say some examples, and you will tell me if it’s a physical
or chemical change. Ready?"

1. Melting ice. (Physical)

2. Boiling water. (Physical)

3. Burning a candle. (Chemical)

4. Rusting metal. (Chemical)

5. Freezing water. (Physical)

5. Recap and Conclusion (5 minutes)

Teacher: "Great job, everyone! So, let’s remember:

A physical change means no new thing is made.

A chemical change means something new is made, and we cannot change it


back.

Melting points and boiling points are examples of physical changes where a
substance changes state but stays the same."

Question: "Can you give me an example of a melting point or a boiling


point?"

(Encourage responses.)

Teacher: "That’s all for today! Next time, we’ll learn even more about
science. See you!"
