The Challenge

Using the resources below, your task is to create a sketch note that shows your understanding of the following:

- Matter

- Chemical change / Physical change

- Reversible and irreversible changes

- Soluble and insoluble

Try to use as many of the resources as possible to help grow your understanding.

BrainPop Property Changes
What are property changes? No, it doesn’t involve moving from one apartment to another! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will tell all about physical and chemical changes — and also give you lots of examples of these changes that we encounter every day.

BrainPop Matter Changing States
OK, smarty, so you’ve already learned about the three basic states of matter. Well, do you know the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius AND Fahrenheit? Or what “heat of fusion” means? If not, then the BrainPOP movie on matter changing states is for you! Tim and Moby will tell you all about the energy that state changes require, and the effect that extra energy has on atoms and molecules. You’ll learn about sublimation, which occurs when a solid melts directly into a gas, and also about condensation, when gas turns into liquid. A watched pot never boils--so get away from the stove and watch this movie while you wait!

Microwave cupcakes in a mug, an easy chemistry experiment
In this super easy and engaging ExpeRimental science experiment for kids (and adults who want a cylindrical pancake with their morning coffee), we learn how to make microwave cupcakes… or really, mug-cakes.

And what happens if we leave one ingredient out? By not adding baking soda, or an egg, or the oil, you can investigate the chemistry of these microwave cupcakes by comparing the results.
