Learning Targets
- I can observe the results of mixing two or more substances. #dok1
- I can identify if new substances are formed when materials are mixed. #dok2
- I can determine whether a new substance has formed after mixing using evidence from an investigation. #dok2

Big Ideas
- When two or more substances are mixed, the properties of the resulting materials can indicate whether a new substance is formed.
- Carefully conducted investigations can provide evidence that helps us understand chemical changes and the formation of new substances.
Essential Questions
- What evidence helps us determine if a new substance has formed?
- How can we tell the difference between a physical change and the creation of a new substance?
- What happens when different substances are mixed together?
- How do investigations help us learn about chemical changes?
- Why is it important to use evidence when deciding if a new substance was created?
