Physical Change A type of change in which a new substance is NOT formed. For example: water boiling or cut paper.
Chemical Change A type of change in which a new substance is formed. For example: releasing heat or light energy.
3. Observe how well glow sticks glow in cold or warm water.
Mark your hypothesis (prediction) on your lab report
Perform the experiment
- Submerge your glow sticks in each cup of water at the same time (one with hot water and one with ice).
- Wait three minutes before comparing your results.
- You can watch this fun video while you wait. It’s three minutes!
Record your observations on your lab report and draw conclusions.
