ICSE Class 7 Chemistry, Unit 2: Physical and Chemical Changes
From the CISCE curriculum. 6 key concepts, about 3 days of study at 20 to 30 minutes a day.
What this unit aims at
The theme focuses on informing children and making them aware about the different types of changes physical and chemical that are regularly observed occurring in the environment. Some occur on their own and some are caused due to human activities to meet their requirements. Keeping in view the unending role of these changes, it becomes worthwhile that children learn about them.
Your child should be able to
- differentiate between physical and chemical changes
- perform activities related to physical and chemical changes
- classify changes such as respiration, preparation of solution of sugar, burning of paper ripening of fruit, spoiling of food materials as physical and chemical changes
- discuss that in a chemical change, a new substance with different properties is formed
