  • Join to access all included materials

Learners characterize a physical change as something that changes to a different size, but retains its basic substance. They measure volumes using milliliters, and perform an experiment that proves that gases expand when hot and contract when they cool off. The experiment is easy to implement, and the instructions are clear and concise.
