Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Chemical Reactions. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change from one form to another.

Matter can be divided into tiny particles that are too small to be seen.

The three common states of matter on Earth are: solid, liquid, and gas.

During a physical change, the physical properties of a substance change but the chemical properties are the same.

Changes in state are physical changes.

Changes in the size of a material are physical changes.

A mixture can be separated back into its original substances.

During a chemical change, the chemical properties of a substance change and a new substance is formed.

When two or more different substances are combined, the types of substances and their temperatures affect whether a chemical change will occur.

When two or more substances combine and undergo a chemical change, the substances cannot be returned to their original states.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is the main difference between a physical change and a chemical change? Why is mixing sugar and water considered a physical change? What are solids, liquids, and gases made of?

After the Game

How does a physical change, like changing states of matter in the maze, differ from a chemical change where a new substance is created? What is one example of a mixture or solution you had to create in the game, and what made it a physical change rather than a chemical one? When you were navigating the character through the challenges, what clues or results helped you determine whether it was a chemical change or a physical change?
