Format
1. This program begins with discussion of matter and demos of physical and chemical changes
2. Criteria is established for each kind of change
3. Polymers are introduced and students will make GAK
4. Students will conduct their own lab and determine what kinds of changes are occurring
5. Students will make observations and predictions of chemicals and reactions.
Objectives
1. Students will differentiate between physical and chemical changes,
2. Students will become familiar with the physical characteristics of a polymer,
3. Students will relate both physical and chemical changes to the Law of Conservation of Matter, and
4. Students will use scientific inquiry to design their own experiments.
