Game: Change Challenge
Students identify whether a given scenario represents a physical or
chemical change.
Materials Needed:
● Flashcards or slips of paper with scenarios written on them
● Two containers labeled "Physical Change" and "Chemical Change"
● Timer (optional)
Instructions:
● Divide the class into two teams.
● Place the "Physical Change" and "Chemical Change" containers
on opposite ends of the room.
● Shuffle the flashcards or slips of paper with scenarios written on
them.
● Choose a student from the first team to draw a scenario card.
● Read the scenario aloud to the class.
● The team must discuss whether the scenario describes a physical
change or a chemical change and then decide which container to place
the card in.
● If the team correctly identifies the type of change, they earn a
point. If not, the other team has a chance to steal the point by correctly
identifying the change.
● Repeat steps 4-7 with students from each team taking turns
drawing scenario cards.
● Continue playing until all scenario cards have been used or for a
set time limit.
Example Scenario Cards:
1. You tear a piece of paper into small pieces.
2. Water boils on the stove and turns into steam.
3. Iron nails left outside begin to rust.
4. Mixing vinegar and baking soda together causes fizzing and
bubbling.
5. Ice cubes melt in a glass of water.
6. A candle burns and produces heat and light.
7. Cutting vegetables into small pieces for a salad.
8. Mixing salt into a glass of water until it dissolves completely.
9. Wood is burned in a campfire and turns into ashes.
10. Milk curdles after adding lemon juice.
Variation: Students can act out the scenarios instead of reading them
from cards for a more interactive variation. This adds a fun and engaging
element to the game

2. Worked Example
Harmful Effects of Physical Change
1. Too Much Evaporation. Evaporation is when water turns into
vapor and goes up into the air, like when a puddle dries up in the sun.
Too much evaporation means a lot of water is disappearing from where
it should be, like from lakes, rivers, or even the soil.
Harmful Effects:
● Drying Up of Water Sources: If too much water evaporates from
lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, they can shrink or even disappear, making
it hard for animals and people to get water to drink or for plants to grow.
● Increase in Droughts: When there's not enough water in the soil
or in the air because of too much evaporation, it can lead to droughts,
which means there's not enough water for crops to grow, causing food
shortages and harming farms and farmers.
2. Melting of Glaciers: Glaciers are huge masses of ice that are very
important because they store a lot of fresh water. When they melt, they
turn into water, which flows into rivers and oceans.
Harmful Effects:
● Rising Sea Levels: When glaciers melt too fast, it adds a lot of
water to the oceans, causing them to rise. This can flood coastal areas,
where many people live, and can damage homes and buildings.

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS CITY
● Loss of Habitat: Animals like polar bears and seals rely on glaciers
for hunting and resting. When the ice melts, they lose their homes and
places to find food, making it harder for them to survive.
Harmful Effects of Chemical Change
1. Air Pollution: Chemical changes can release harmful gases into
the air, like when cars burn fuel or factories produce smoke.
Harmful Effects:
● Respiratory Problems: Breathing in polluted air can cause
coughing, asthma, and other breathing problems, making it hard for
people, especially kids and older adults, to stay healthy.
● Environmental Damage: Polluted air can harm plants and
animals, disrupt ecosystems, and even lead to global warming, which
can cause extreme weather events like hurricanes and droughts.
● 2. Water Contamination: Chemical changes can also happen in
water, like when factories dump waste into rivers or when fertilizers from
farms wash into lakes.
Harmful Effects:
● Health Risks: Contaminated water can make people sick if they
drink it or swim in it. It can cause stomachaches, diarrhea, and even
more serious illnesses.
● Harm to Aquatic Life: Chemicals in water can harm fish, frogs,
and other aquatic animals, disrupting their habitats and causing
population declines. This can affect the balance of ecosystems and
reduce biodiversity.
2. Soil Degradation: Chemical changes in the soil can occur when
pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals are used in farming or
gardening.
Harmful Effects:
● Loss of Fertility: Chemicals in the soil can kill helpful organisms
like earthworms and bacteria, making it hard for plants to grow. This
leads to poor crop yields and reduces the amount of food that can be
grown.
● Contamination of Food: If plants absorb chemicals from the soil,
they can end up in the food we eat. Eating food contaminated with
harmful chemicals can cause health problems over time.
3. Corrosion: Corrosion is a chemical change that happens when
metals react with substances in the environment, like oxygen or water.
Harmful Effects:
● Damage to Structures: Corrosion can weaken metal structures
like bridges, buildings, and pipelines, leading to collapses, leaks, and
other accidents.

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS CITY
● Costly Repairs: Fixing or replacing corroded metal objects can be
expensive and time-consuming, especially if they're critical
infrastructure or equipment.
4. Acid Rain: Chemical reactions in the atmosphere can produce
acids that fall back to Earth as rain, snow, or fog.
Harmful Effects:
● Damage to Ecosystems: Acid rain can harm plants, trees, and
aquatic life by leaching nutrients from the soil, damaging leaves and
needles, and making bodies of water too acidic for fish and other
organisms to survive.
● Deterioration of Buildings and Monuments: Acid rain can erode
and corrode buildings, statues, and monuments made of stone or metal,
leading to their deterioration and loss of cultural heritage.
5. Groundwater Contamination: Chemicals from industrial spills,
landfills, or agricultural runoff can seep into the ground and
contaminate groundwater sources. Harmful Effects:
● Health Risks: Contaminated groundwater can pose serious health
risks to humans and animals if consumed, leading to illnesses such as
cancer, neurological disorders, and reproductive problems.
● Long-Term Environmental Damage: Once groundwater is
contaminated, it can be difficult and costly to clean up, posing long-term
risks to the environment and public health.
3. Lesson Activity
● Divide the class into four (4) groups. Each member of every group
will decide on the specific role that they will play within their group
(Team Jobs). Along with each role are color-coded visors with their
corresponding meaning (Manager-Red; Speaker-Blue; Director-Green;
Reports Coordinator-Yellow).
● Provide each group with a copy of the activity titled “Exploring the
Impact of Changes on Everyday Objects”
● Remind the teammates of their roles.
● Students perform the activity as directed and answer the
questions provided in the worksheet.
● Ask the students to present their output in class.
