Students have completed an assignment on Edmodo, Become an Expert! Chemical Change and shared their knowledge with their peers, making any necessary revisions. As a large group we reviewed the differences between chemical and physical changes, as well as identified several examples. Following this discussion students were presented with the following challenge:
Last night certain unknown substances and liquids went missing from the Science Lab. Some of the missing substances and liquids were spilled on the floor in the Grade 4/5 hallway. Mr. Lonsberry needs to know what substances were taken to file a theft report.
Here is your change to display your scientific investigation skills. Your challenge is to perform some tests to help Mr. Lonsberry determine what items were taken from the Science Lab. You will need to make an inference(s) as to what the unknown substances are based on your observations and results, and compare your results with the information provided by the police.
In their science investigation groups, students will perform two tests to try to determine what substances and liquids went missing from the Science Lab, applying their Chemistry knowledge to help them piece the mystery together!
