About This Lesson
Help Grade 5 students explore physical and chemical changes through clear explanations, visual examples, an interactive activity, and evidence-based practice.
This free science lesson helps students compare changes in matter and use observations of properties before and after a change as evidence. Students practice identifying when a change may result in a new substance while avoiding the idea that every visible change is automatically a chemical change.
The lesson includes:
• Student-friendly instruction and visuals
• Interactive science activity
• Printable worksheet
• Answer key
• Vocabulary practice
• Teacher lesson-plan resources
Designed for Grade 5 physical science and aligned with NGSS 5-PS1-4.
The complete lesson and resources are available free from Science Lesson Kit. No student account or subscription is required.
