Changes in Matter: Department of Mathematics and Science

Changes in matter can be physical or chemical. Physical changes alter a substance's physical properties like shape or state but do not change its chemical makeup. Chemical changes produce new substances with different properties through atomic rearrangement. Examples of physical changes include melting, freezing, tearing, and bending, while chemical changes include burning, rusting, and cooking or decaying organic matter.

Changes in Matter

Department of Mathematics and Science


Benchmark Descriptions

• SC.4.P.9.1 – Identify some familiar changes in


materials that result in other materials with
different characteristics, such as decaying
animal or plant matter, burning, rusting, and
cooking.
What is Matter?
• Matter is anything that takes up space and
has weight.
• Matter has three forms.
• Matter can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas.
• Matter can be described by its properties.
• Matter is made up of tiny particles called
atoms.
What do we know about
solids, liquids, and gases?
Solids have a  Liquids have  Gases take

containers.
Take a piece of paper and change it
in some way.

How did you change your piece of paper it?

Folding Bending
Tearing Cutting
Crumpling

Why are the changes that you made to the paper just
physical changes?
The paper is still paper. You can unfold it.
Physical change is often due
to a change in temperature
How does heat affect physical changes?
Some types of matter change state when
enough heat is added to it (melting)
or taken away from it (freezing).
What are some examples of each?

Water freezes at 0 ̊ Celsius or 32 ̊ Fahrenheit


More on Physical Changes
What is happening to the ice cubes?
• They’re melting.
• If you add enough heat energy to ice, it turns into
liquid water, then it turns into a gas called water vapor.
• If you cool the substance, by taking away heat energy,
you can reverse these changes.
• You can change a gas into a liquid and
a liquid into a solid.
What type of change is this?
• Changing from one state to another state is an example
of a physical change.

What are Physical Changes of Matter?

• A physical change is a change in the


physical properties of matter. The matter
changed in how it looks, but what it is
made out of does not change.

• A change that takes place when a


substance changes in size, shape or form.
The particles of matter do not change.
What are
Chemical Changes?

Department of Mathematics and Science


Chemical Changes

Chemical changes produce new substances


that have different properties than the original
substances.
What are some examples of chemical changes?
• Burning
• Rusting
• Cooking and baking
More on Chemical Changes
Fresh Leaves Decaying Leaves

Why did the leaves change?


What are some examples of
chemical properties?
• Corrosion of metal—when iron combines with oxygen in the
air, rust forms

• Gas bubbles— Baking soda combines with vinegar, carbon


dioxide forms

• A change in color (browning of fruit - decay) – an apple is


peeled and reaction with oxygen in the air

 Chemical changes change the chemical nature and


properties of substances to form new substances.
What are some examples of evidence
that a chemical change took place?
Signs
• Change in odor
• Change in color
• Change in taste
• Change in mass
• Forming bubbles (giving off a gas)
• Giving off smoke
• Giving off light

Review
What is a chemical change?
Answer: A chemical change produces substances that have new
properties.
How is a chemical change different than a physical change?
Answer: A physical change does not produce new substances
like a chemical change does. It only changes physical
properties.
How is heat involved in chemical changes?
Answer: Sometimes heating can cause chemical changes.
Sometimes chemical changes give off heat.
How is heat involved in physical changes?
Answer: Sometimes adding heat to matter can change its state
-when enough heat is added to it can cause melting or if heat
is taken away it can cause freezing of the matter.
Quiz: Decide if each example is a
physical or chemical change.
