Problem Description:
The task is to identify which activities in the provided images represent
chemical changes and mark them by coloring the circle under each corresponding image. A chemical change involves a transformation where new substances are formed, often accompanied by energy changes (e.g., heat, light, gas release).
Solution Approach:
1.
Understand Chemical Changes:
- Chemical changes involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, resulting in the creation of new substances.
- Examples include burning, rusting, cooking, explosions, and reactions that produce gases or light.
2.
Analyze Each Image:
- For each image, determine whether the activity shown represents a chemical change or a physical change.
- Physical changes involve changes in state or form without the formation of new substances (e.g., cutting, melting, mixing).
3.
Mark the Circles:
- Color the circle under the images that depict chemical changes.

Analysis of Each Image:
#### Row 1:
1.
Image 1: A bottle shattering.
-
Analysis: This is a
physical change because the glass breaks into pieces but no new substance is formed.
-
Conclusion: Not a chemical change.
2.
Image 2: Fire burning.
-
Analysis: Burning involves combustion, where oxygen reacts with fuel to produce new substances like carbon dioxide and water, along with energy in the form of light and heat.
-
Conclusion: This is a
chemical change.
3.
Image 3: A pear being cut.
-
Analysis: Cutting the pear changes its shape but does not create new substances.
-
Conclusion: Not a chemical change.
#### Row 2:
4.
Image 4: A light bulb turning on.
-
Analysis: The light bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat, but no new substances are formed.
-
Conclusion: Not a chemical change.
5.
Image 5: Paper being shredded.
-
Analysis: Shredding paper changes its size and shape but does not create new substances.
-
Conclusion: Not a chemical change.
6.
Image 6: Wood being sawed.
-
Analysis: Sawing wood changes its shape but does not create new substances.
-
Conclusion: Not a chemical change.
#### Row 3:
7.
Image 7: Whisking ingredients in a bowl.
-
Analysis: Whisking mixes ingredients but does not necessarily create new substances unless a chemical reaction occurs (e.g., baking soda reacting with an acid). Since no specific reaction is shown, this is likely a
physical change.
-
Conclusion: Not a chemical change.
8.
Image 8: Hair being cut.
-
Analysis: Cutting hair changes its length but does not create new substances.
-
Conclusion: Not a chemical change.
9.
Image 9: Fireworks exploding.
-
Analysis: Fireworks involve combustion reactions, where chemicals react to produce light, sound, and new substances.
-
Conclusion: This is a
chemical change.

Final Answer:
Color the circles under the images that represent chemical changes:
-
Image 2: Fire burning
-
Image 9: Fireworks exploding
Marked Images:
- Second row, second column (fire burning)
- Third row, third column (fireworks)
Final Answer Box:
\boxed{2, 9}
