PERFORMANCE TASK 3.1
Phase Change

Physical changes usually occur when heat (energy) is either added or taken away. The substance is the same
(NO CHANGE). Example: Ice cube melting, ripping paper, cutting an apple in half

In a chemical change, the substances are changed chemically and display different physical and chemical
properties after the change.Examples: combustion (burning), cooking an egg, rusting of an iron pan

I. A. Identify the different phase transformation Write your answer on the blank after each number.

B. Write P if the change involves physical change and C if it involves a chemical

change.
