Modeling Changes in Matter

Learn to differentiate between physical and chemical changes in this science worksheet! Students will look at three different particle models that each show a change in matter. They‘ll need to determine whether each model shows a physical or chemical change, then explain their reasoning. 

Intended for sixth graders, this worksheet is a great resource for helping students build their physical science literacy and solidify their understanding of the different ways matter can change. Students will also get practice interpreting and analyzing molecular diagrams, which are essential skills for chemistry.
