Lesson 1 Physical Changes in Materials

What will I do?

ACTIVITY 1 Describing Physical Changes in Materials

Problem : How do materials undergo change?

What you need : • garter (rubber band) • peppercorns
• matchstick • wire
• piece of paper • mortar and pestle
What to do:
1. Stretch a garter (rubber band) from both ends. Be sure it does not break.
2. Break a matchstick into two pieces.
2
 3. Cut a piece of paper into four squares.
4. Pound a teaspoon of black peppercorns in mortar and pestle.
5. Bend a piece of wire to form a triangle.
• What happen to the size and shape of these materials?
• What cause changes in these materials?

Name of Material Physical Change in Cause of Physical

Size Shape Change
Garter (Rubber Band)
Matchstick
Paper
Peppercorns
Wire
6. Use the table below to record your observations.

What’s the meaning?

The garter (or rubber band) became longer in size when stretched.

The matchstick became smaller and shorter pieces when broken.

The piece of paper turned into four small squares when cut.

The peppercorns became smaller grits and turned into powder when pounded.

The wire changed its shape into a triangle when bent.

When materials change their size and shape, they go through physical change.

Materials undergo physical change because of stretching, breaking, pounding,

cutting, and bending. They do NOT change their composition. They only change their size and
shape.

What did I get?

• Materials undergo physical change when they change in size and shape.
• Materials undergo physical change due to stretching, breaking, pounding, cutting, and
bending.
• Materials that undergo physical change do not form new materials.
• Materials that undergo physical change do not change their composition.

What can I show?

1. You want to eat one whole ripe mango. What will you do so that you can eat the mango easily?
2. You want to eat cochinta with coconut. What will you do with one whole coconut so that you can
eat it with ease?
3
 What will I do?

ACTIVITY 2 Physical Changes of Water

What you need : • water • thermometer

• can • empty pan
What to do:
1. Put water in a can. Place this inside a freezer.
2. Measure the freezer’s temperature with a thermometer.
3. Get the can of water from the freezer the next morning.
• What happens to the can of water?
4. Place the can of water on the table under room temperature for 30 minutes.
5. Measure the temperature of the room where the table is.
• What happens to the water in the can?
6. After 30 minutes, pour the water from the can on an empty can.
7. Place the pan with water over a flame for 12 minutes.
8. Observe what happens to the water placed over a flame.
• Did you observe any physical change in the water?

What’s the meaning?

When water was placed inside the freezer, it is in its liquid form. Water, in its liquid form,
turned to ice – water in its solid form due to very low temperature inside the freezer. This
change is called solidification. Solidification is turning liquid water to solid ice.

When ice was placed on a table for 30 minutes under room temperature, it became
liquid.
Ice melted into liquid water due to heat surrounding the room. This change of solid ice
to liquid water due to heat is called liquification.

Liquid water when heated and boiled becomes water vapor, a kind of gas. This change
of liquid water to gas due to heat is called evaporation.

What did I get?

• Solidification is a kind of physical change where liquid water/material turns to solid ice/
material.
• Liquification is a kind of physical change where solid ice/material turns to liquid water/
substance.
• Evaporation is a kind of physical change where liquid water/substance turns to gas due to
heat.

 What can I show?

1. Make some ice using two plastic ice bags. How will you do it?
2. Make yourself some hot chocolate in the morning. What will you do?
3. Disinfect your spoons and forks at home. What will you do?

Lesson 2 Chemical Changes in Materials

When you burn paper and add vinegar to eggshells, do we form a new material? Find out
by doing this activity.

What will I do?

ACTIVITY 3 Changes in Materials

What you need : • piece of cardboard • vinegar • empty can

• eggshell • brown sugar
• mortar and pestle • match/matchstick
What to do:
1. Burn a piece of cardboard with a matchstick. Do this with adult supervision.
• What happens to burnt cardboard?
• Is there a change in its color/ appearance/ smell of burnt cardboard?
2. Pound an eggshell in a mortar and a pestle several times. Then add a teaspoon of
vinegar onto the pounded eggshell.
• Describe what happens when vinegar is added to pounded eggshell.
3. Burn a teaspoon of brown sugar in an empty can over a flame.
• Describe the color/ appearance/ smell/ taste of burnt sugar.
4. Record your observations in the table below.

Name of Material Change in

Color Appearance Smell Taste
Burnt Cardboard
Pounded Eggshell
Burnt Sugar

What’s the meaning?

The piece of cardboard formed ashes, water vapor and smoke when burned. Burning
cardboard changed it to a new material. Burnt cardboard cannot return to its original state.

When vinegar was added to the pounded eggshell, bubbles were formed. Vinegar is a
kind of acid that made chemical reaction on pounded eggshell. The production of bubbles
showed that carbon dioxide, a kind of gas, was set free in the air.

5
 When cardboard was burned, new materials were formed (ashes, water vapor and
smoke).

When vinegar was poured over pounded eggshell, carbon dioxide, a new substance was
formed.

When sugar was burned, a new substance called carbon was formed.
Burning and adding vinegar to a material result in chemical rection.

The conversion of a certain materials to a new one through chemical reaction is called
chemical change.

What did I get?

• Chemical change is the formation of another material/s due to the action of heat and other
substances.
• Changes in color, texture, smell, or taste indicate chemical change in materials/substances.
• The presence of bubbles in materials also indicate chemical change.

What can I show?

1. Why should you chew your food thoroughly and slowly? What chemical change is involved
in chewing? Explain your answer.
2. What will you do to make your dough rise when baking bread? Explain your answer.
3. What are some uses of burnt sugar? Give at least three.

Lesson 3 From Physical Change to Chemical Change

Is it possible for any material to undergo physical and chemical changes? Find out by
doing this activity.

What will I do?

ACTIVITY 4 Products of Physical Change and Chemical

Change

What you need : • piece of paper • match/matchstick

• empty can • unripe banana

What to do:
1. Crumple a piece of paper with your hand.
• What kind of change does the paper undergo?
• Does it undergo change in size?
2. Burn the crumpled paper in a large empty can. Do this under adult supervision.
6
 • What kind of change does the burnt paper undergo?
• Does burning of crumpled paper produce new material?
3. Get one green unripened banana. Touch how it feels. Cut into three pieces.
• Describe the texture of the unripened banana.
• Is it soft or hard?
• What changes does the unripened banana undergo?
4. Place two unripened bananas on a tray. Get a small slice from one of the unripened
bananas. Touch them. Taste the slice.
• How does the unripened banana feel? taste? look?
5. Wait for 2-3 days for the bananas to ripen. Touch them, Taste one of them.
• Describe the color, texture, and taste of the ripened banana.
6. Record your observations using the table below.

Description of Kind No New New

Name of Material of Substance Substance
Color Texture Taste Change Formed Formed
1. Crumpled Paper
2. Burnt Paper
3. Unripened Banana
4. Ripened Banana

What’s the meaning?

The crumpled paper changed its size, shape, and appearance. But its composition stays
the same. The molecules that are present in the crumpled paper are similar to the original piece
of paper. The crumpled paper is an example of physical change in each material.

Burnt paper is an example of chemical change. New materials/substances were formed

once the paper was burned. Ashes, water vapor, and smoke were produced. The original state
of the paper cannot be brought back once burning takes place.

Unripened bananas are colored green. They feel hard. They taste a little bitter.

Ripened bananas are colored yellow. They feel soft. They taste sweeter.

The changes in color, texture, and taste of bananas indicate chemical changes.
The colorless gas that causes the bananas to ripen is called ethylene. Ethylene reacts with
oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water. These substances help the ripening of
bananas.

The color of ripened bananas changed from hard/firm to soft. The taste changed from
somewhat bitter to sweet with increase in their sugar content.

What did I get?

• Physical change in materials undergoes only change in their size and shape.

7
 • Physical change in materials do not form new substances.
• Chemical change in materials form new substances through chemical reaction of heat,
carbon dioxide and other substances.

What can I show?

Write a short essay on the importance of physical and chemical change to people and
environment.
