Observe that no new material is formed in physical change
Show examples of physical change
2 Topic: Chemical Change
Observe that a new material is formed in a chemical change
Show examples of chemical change
Observe that the product of a chemical change cannot be
brought back to its original form
3 Topic: Effects of materials in the environment
