- Steam
- Ice melting
- Mixing
- Evaporating
Physical change

Is the following an inherited or acquired trait? Explain why.
- Ability to swim
Acquired trait because you aren't born knowing how to swim, you have to learn how to do it.

What's the difference between an open and closed circuit?
An open circuit is a circuit that isn't working.
A closed circuit is a working and COMPLETE circuit.

What is erosion?
Weathered material moved around by wind and water
300
What's the difference between a physical and chemical change?
Give examples.
A chemical change is a change in matter that produces new substances. Ex: burning of paper
A physical change is a change in matter that might change the form or appearance of a substance, but doesn't produce any new substances. Ex: cutting up a piece of paper

Is the following an inherited or acquired trait? Explain why.
- Being tall
Inherited because it goes down from generation to generation.

What's the difference between an insulator and a conductor?
An insulator is a material that doesn't allow electricity to flow through easily.
A conductor is a material that electricity can move through easily.

How many different types of weathering are there? What are they?
(Bonus points for both answers correct)
There is mechanical and chemical weathering
Mechanical - physically breaks up rock
Chemical - decomposes or decays rocks and minerals

What kind of change is below?
Physical change because the paper is still paper. If the paper was burned and turned into ash, it would then be a chemical change.

Is cooking pancakes a physical or chemical change?
Explain why.
Pancakes are a chemical change.
When you raise the heat on your pancake mix, it causes a chemical reaction between amino acids in the proteins and the carbon and oxygen atoms from sugars.
