For our introductory lesson of Unit 4, we revisited the concepts of physical and chemical change in the context of chemical reactions. The lesson began with a demonstration in which students were presented with a chemical equation, observed the chemical reaction, and then were challenged to prove whether the predicted product could be observed. The demonstration led to a discussion of physical and chemical change via the Lesson 70 PowerPoint which includes an image of the following reaction: Cobalt (II) chloride (a solid with a rich blue color) + water (clear liquid) reacts to form a pink liquid. Students had the remainder of the class period to complete the Lesson 70 Worksheet. Class notes are shown below:
