• Pour the sand and iron fillings in a pot of boiling water

• Use a magnet

• Use a sieve

Tanner holds an ice cube in his hand. The ice changes its shape, his hands are getting wet, and the ice cube is getting smaller. He says this is a physical change. Which argument supports his claim?

• The ice cube is melting since his hands are warmer than the ice. Heat is being added to the ice, which causes the particles to move faster.

• The ice cube is melting since the state is changing from a liquid to a solid. Heat is being added to the ice, which causes the particles to move slower.

• The ice cube is freezing since his hands are much warmer than the ice. Heat is being removed from the ice, which causes the particles to move slower.

• The ice cube is melting in his hand since the state is changing from a solid to a liquid. Heat is being removed from the ice, which causes the particles to move faster.

Why are making pancakes or chocolate chip cookies a chemical change?

• The batter changes its physical properties.

• Baking the batter turns it golden brown and an odor (smell) is produced.
