Chemical Physical Changes LAB
Exploratory lab to understand physical and chemical properties of matter.
My students loved this lab. It was a way to not just do lab, but move through each station which kinestetic learners thrive on movement and doing. Please take the opportunity to rate this lab!
Please see example, to ensure right for your students. I teach very diverse population. This can be modified for each level of need. Not intended for a chemistry high school class.
