Return to the essential question: How can we tell the difference between physical and chemical changes? Students share 2-3 key indicators they learned.

# data[].attributes.body
Ask students to identify one physical and one chemical change they might observe at home tonight. This prepares them for homework and reinforces learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Complete a worksheet with 10 scenarios. Students must identify each as physical or chemical change and explain their reasoning using today's vocabulary.

# data[].attributes.body
Keep a log of 5 changes you observe at home (cooking, cleaning, etc.). Classify each as physical or chemical and explain why. Be ready to share one example tomorrow.
