Introduction
Welcome
You are on your way to an adventure!!!!! We are going to talk about physical and chemical changes today.
Let's start with a backround video.

http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/matter/changes-of-matter.htm
So, what are physical changes and chemical changes?
A physical change is when matter is changed but can be reversed.
For example: cutting paper
A chemical change can not be reversed and rearranges the structure of molecules.
For example: burning wood
Task
Here is your task. Watch this video:

Watch it and take the test.
Record your score.
________ Note, on question 7 if you chose answer b, then you are correct!

Then, you will write a constructed response and answer a series of questions from the websites I have given you.
After that, you will write a eight page book with at least two pictures per page. The rubric is in the evaluation. These are the websites I have given you to use for your book. Also use the websites for a series of questions and fill in the blanks.

Process
So, after you have watched The Magic School Bus video at this link : http://www.teachertube.com/video/get-ready-set-dough-347712
Use the video to answer this constructed response.
In the video The Magic School Bus, what happens when the baker puts the cake batter in the oven? Use information from your notes and the video to answer. write your response on a pice of paper.

Next, you will answer a series of a questions and fill in the blanks.
You will have a book to write with the following websites and other websites.
