Curated OER
Physical Changes & Chemical Reactions
Fifth graders explore physical and chemical changes. They prepare a demonstration in which they perform an example of either a physical change or a chemical reaction.
Curated OER
Observations & Chemical Reactions
Young scholars conduct a series of experiments in which they explore chemical reactions. They detect chemical changes by observing how physical properties change when two different chemicals are combined. They list and describe the...
