Fizzing Up!

Fizz, Bubble, POP!
Chemical Reactions!

A chemical reaction is when two substances are combined and a new substance is formed.  We spent many days in the classroom discovering the formation of new substances through chemical reaction.

This is a great unit to introduce Physical Science to  6th graders.  It is hands-on and engaging with lots of partner and group work.
Students were able to differentiate the differences of a physical change (substance does not change) vs. a chemical change (a new substance is formed).

How do scientists analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after substances interact? 





Focus Question:  What is the evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred?





  Standard:
SC5.10Differentiate between physical changes and chemical changes.

  1. I thought this reaction experiment was very interesting, and how the chemicals reacted so quickly and the heat increased so quickly was amazing.
