Big Ideas
- Substances can undergo changes in their properties when they interact, which sometimes signals a chemical reaction.
- Analyzing data about substances before and after interactions provides evidence for identifying chemical reactions.
Essential Questions
- What evidence can we use to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred?
- How do the properties of substances change when they interact?
- Why is it important to analyze data before and after substances interact?
- What signs indicate that a chemical reaction may have taken place?
- How can data guide our conclusions about chemical changes in substances?
