- I can distinguish between changes that can be reversed and those that cannot. #dok2

Big Ideas
- Some changes to materials caused by heating or cooling can be reversed, while others are permanent.
- Using evidence is important to explain and support ideas about physical changes in materials.
Essential Questions
- What happens to materials when they are heated or cooled?
- How can we tell if a change to a material can be reversed?
- What evidence can we use to decide if a change is reversible or not?
- Why is it important to use evidence when making an argument about changes in materials?
- Can you give examples of changes that can and cannot be reversed after heating or cooling?
