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 it depicts 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 show chemical changes.

Analysis of Each Image:
#### Row 1:
1.
Image 1: A bottle shattering.
-
Explanation: This is a
physical change because the glass breaks into pieces but no new substance is formed.
-
Action: Do not color the circle.
2.
Image 2: Fire burning.
-
Explanation: This is a
chemical change because combustion involves the reaction of oxygen with fuel, producing new substances like carbon dioxide and water.
-
Action: Color the circle.
3.
Image 3: A pear being cut.
-
Explanation: This is a
physical change because the pear is simply being divided into pieces without any new substances being formed.
-
Action: Do not color the circle.
#### Row 2:
4.
Image 4: A light bulb turning on.
-
Explanation: This is a
physical change because electricity flows through the filament, causing it to glow, but no new substances are formed.
-
Action: Do not color the circle.
5.
Image 5: Paper being shredded.
-
Explanation: This is a
physical change because the paper is being torn into smaller pieces without any new substances being formed.
-
Action: Do not color the circle.
6.
Image 6: Wood being sawed.
-
Explanation: This is a
physical change because the wood is being cut into smaller pieces without any new substances being formed.
-
Action: Do not color the circle.
#### Row 3:
7.
Image 7: Whisking ingredients in a bowl.
-
Explanation: This is a
physical change because the ingredients are being mixed together, but no new substances are formed.
-
Action: Do not color the circle.
8.
Image 8: Hair being cut.
-
Explanation: This is a
physical change because the hair is being trimmed into shorter pieces without any new substances being formed.
-
Action: Do not color the circle.
9.
Image 9: Fireworks exploding.
-
Explanation: This is a
chemical change because fireworks involve chemical reactions that produce light, sound, and new substances.
-
Action: Color the circle.
---
Final Answer:
- Color the circles under
Image 2 (fire burning) and
Image 9 (fireworks exploding).
