During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water combine to make sugar and oxygen. Why is photosynthesis a chemical reaction?

• because new substances are formed

• because an input of energy is required

• because the reactants are compounds

• because the products include an element

Which occurs when a precipitate forms during a chemical reaction?

• color change

• production of a gas

• temperature change

• production of a solid

A potter molded wet clay into a bowl and let it dry. The potter knows that the clay went through a physical change when it became a bowl because the bowl

• is a different color than the wet clay

• is the same substance as the wet clay

• has a different texture than the wet clay

• holds the same amount of water as the wet clay

Which shows one example of a physical change and one example of a chemical change?

• boiling alcohol and melting cheese

• rusting nails and baking bread

• dissolving sugar and shredding lettuce

• freezing milk and burning wood
