END

Define PHYSICAL CHANGE based on your observations with the rubber band,
paper, and toothpick. What did you do to the material? What change if any, did
you osberve? Is it a new type of material?
CHEMICAL CHANGE:

Define CHEMICAL CHANGE based on your observations. Ask yourself if any new
substances were formed? What do you think is the substance found at the
bottom of the test tube? Its not baking soda anymore!!

SUSPENSION:

Did the drops of oil mix with the water or were they
suspended at the surface? This mixture (water and oil) is considered a
suspension. What is suspended (found above) in this mixture? __________

SOLUTE/SOLVENT/SOLUTION:

List three more examples of solutions that could be made.

Include what item is the solute, what item is the solvent, and
what do we call the solution that was made.

DILUTE/CONCENTRATE/SATURATED:

WHAT IS A MIXTURE?

CONSERVATION OF MASS

SEPARATING A MIXTURE

Is using the filteration system a physical means of separating a mixture or does it

involve a chemical change? Where have you observed the use of filters in your
everyday life?

Water is a polar molecule (It has a positive electrical side and a negative side).
Vegetable Oil is an nonpolar molecular. Which substance has the highest
cohesion and why would this substance hold more drops on the surface of a
penny?

2. VISCOSITY = state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency, due to

internal friction.

Which test tube has the substance with the highest viscosity? Second highest
viscosity? Which substance flowed with ease; quickly?

COLLOID Colloidal solutions (also called colloidal suspensions) contain little particles, ranging from one to
1,000 nanometers in diameter. (A nanometer is very smalla human hair is about 100,000
nanometers wide!) The particles in a colloid are evenly dispersed throughout a quantity of water.
These particles are so small that you can't see them with the naked eyeand when you look at
the colloidal solution it appears homogenous, or uniform. If you put it under a microscope,
however, it would look heterogeneous, or as if things had been mixed together.

NOTES

OBSERVATIONS

PHYSICAL CHANGE

We split everything
(accept for the rubber
band) in half. And guess
what!?!? It was still the
same! Boom, Science.
Melting, freezing,
dissolveing, boiling,
codensating,
evaporating, filtering are
all physical change.
(Think of a change of
state)

Physical Change: A change

that only changes the
appearance of the object,
but doesnt change the
chemical composition of it.

CHEMICAL CHANGE

We poured everhthing
together and everything
bubbled up and over the
test tube. It was the
checmical reaction from
the vineger and baking
soda.

The fiz at the bottom

comming to the top
reminds me of soda, the
cafine that makes the
soda fiz is very similar to
the reaction we got. A
gas was created, we
knew that because of the
carbon dioxide that
appeared after the
reaction.
A change that alters a
substance. Rusting

SUSPENSION

After adding the tablet

the bubbled of oil
popped and the oil was
suspened over the
water. It looks like a lava
lamp. The oil formed a
layer over water, hense
the name of the lab. The
alca-celzter tablet made
everything bubble.
A heterogenous mixture
in wich one substance
rests above another due
to their densitiies when
you mixed the oil and
water it was a

The bubbles did not first

suspend, it looked
almost as though they
popped aftr adding the
alca-celtzer tablet. A
chemical change occured
when the alca-celtzer
began to dissolve
because when it did it
released carbon dioxide.
The oil sat atop the
water because it has less
density. (Has be less
than 1g/ml)

heterogenous mixture.
When we added the red
coloring to the water it
was a homogenous
mixtures because you
cannot distinguish a red
piece from a water piece.
All substances are
homogenous mixtures.

SOLUTE/SOLVENT/
SOLUTION

We placed a scoopfull of
the mix, the solute, into
the water, the solvent,
and it turned into
Kool-Aid, the solution. It
is a homogenous mixture
because t would be very
hard to seperate the two
things.

Solute- the substance

that is being dissolved
Solvent- the substance
that the dissolvent is
being dissolved in
Solution- the final
product
ExChocolate Milk- milk,
chocolate syrup
Iced Tea- water, iced tea
mix
Salt Water- salt, water

DILUTE/
CONCENTRATE/
SATURATED

We got the same amount

of water in the three
beakers
Diluted solution was
lighter in color.
Concentrated soution
was still pale but no too
watery. Saturated was
very bright yellow, it was
like golden.

Diluted- only a little bit of a

solute added, it is a very
mild solution. More solvent
than salute (baby bear)
Concentrated- The perfect
amount added, where
there isnt too little and
there isnt to much. Perfect
ratio of solvent to solute
(mama bear)
Saturated- Way too much
solute added even to the
point where it cant all
disolve. Less solvent than
solute (Papa bear)

WHAT IS A
MIXTURE?

Seperated groups into

marbles, paper clips, and
chips. All of which are
very different.

Mixture- A substance
created by mixing two
substances together
Substance- a form of
matter
Hetergenous Mixture- a

mixture that can be easily

seperated

CONSERVATION OF
MASS

It weighed 152.5g. When

the pills were added in,
they created a gas that
rose into the balloon and
inflated it. After two
minutes it weighed
152.5g this
demonstrates the law of
conservation and energy

The balloon was solid, the

water was a liquid, and the
antacid was both solid and
a gas. The balloon trapped
everything in the flask so
nothing could come in or
go out of the flask. It was a
chemical change because
of the carbon dioxide that
filled the balloon.

SEPARATING A
MIXTURE

The solution dripped

through very slowly, only
allowing the yellow water
to get through keeping
the sand in the funnel.

It is a physical change
because there is still the same
amount of substances. The
chemcical compund didnt
change. When we get water
from the tap or from the
fridge it is filtered to get the
little germies out.

AMORPHOUS &
CRYSTALLINE SOLID

Took all of the legos and

aranged a structed which
modeled a crystaline
solid with red and
yellow. Than we modeled
an amorphous pattern
with legos just putting
them willy nilly.

Crystaline Solid- Matter

arranged in a pattern
Amorphous- The matter
has no pattern in the way
that it is aranged.
Ex CS- A checker board,
oreo
Ex A- Earth, tie dye

COHESION &
VISCOCITY

We dropped the
substances on the penny
and recorded what we
found. The oil also smells
like Pancakes which
makes it smell really
good.

The water had the

highest cohesion
because it stuck to the
penny longer than the
oil. This happens
because their properties
are more similar to each
other than oil and copper
is. Oil is also a lot
thicker, makig it have a
higher viscocity

COLLOID

Added 20 drops and it

didnt mix, the water rolled
off the cornstarch. It
combined once mixed. Got
real clumpy. Looks like
cheese curds. Moist

It feels goopy and

liquidy and weird. It
only took about 100
drops of water.
Colloidal soutions are
liquid and solidish.
