Key takeaways

  • Understand that a reaction is defined as a process where one or more substances are changed to a different substance
  • Understand that the Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter never disappears, it only changes states
  • Learn that when matter changes state, the mass is not affected
  • Learn how to record data and compare the results from multiple experiments

Standards addressed

NGSS-5-PS1-2
Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
