Exploring Physical and Chemical Changes in the Lab

The video tutorial covers various experiments to demonstrate physical and chemical changes. Mr. Rector introduces the topic, explaining the difference between the two types of changes. Mr. Warren demonstrates a candle experiment, highlighting burning and melting. Miss Darns conducts paper burning and liquid mixing experiments. Mr. Reynolds shows a reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. Finally, Miss Rector performs an experiment with copper sulfate, illustrating heating and rehydration. Each section prompts viewers to identify the type of change observed.

What defines a chemical change according to Mr. Rector?

• Change in temperature

• Change in state of matter

• Formation of a new substance

• A change in color only
