Absolutely! You can find lots of examples of physical and chemical changes right in your kitchen. Here are some easy ways to spot them:
Melting Ice: When you take ice cubes out of the freezer, they turn into water. You can freeze the water back into ice again, so this change can be undone.
Chopping Vegetables: If you cut up carrots or onions, they change shape and size. But they are still carrots and onions!
Boiling Water: When water gets really hot, it turns into steam. Even though it changes from liquid to gas, it’s still water (H₂O).
Baking Bread: When you mix different ingredients and bake them, a lot is happening! The dough rises and changes color and texture because of chemical reactions.
Burning Food: If you burn something while cooking, that’s a chemical change. The food turns into ash and smoke, and you can’t get it back to how it was.
Fermentation: When you make yogurt or sourdough bread, bacteria change sugars into acids or gas. This creates something new through fermentation.
By looking for these changes, you can see how matter transforms during your cooking adventures!
