Physical Changes Chemical Changes Particle Level

Cross Cutting Concepts
Patterns
*Macroscopic patterns are related to the nature of microscopic and atomic level structure.

Structure and Function
*The function and properties of natural objects and systems can be inferred from their overall structure, the way their components are shaped and used, and the molecular substructures of its various materials.

Energy and Matter
*Matter is conserved because atoms are conserved in physical and chemical processes.

Looking Back Looking Ahead
Compare and contrast physical change vs. chemical change. (8.PS.6) The student can support the claim about whether a process is a chemical or physical change (or may be classified as both) based on whether the process involves changes in intramolecular versus intermolecular interactions.
