Step 1: Think about each change. Metal turning less shiny over time is called tarnishing. Silver jewelry tarnishing is a chemical change. The silver reacts with sulfur in the air to form black tarnish. The tarnish is a different type of matter that was not there before the change. Baking cookies is a chemical change. The type of matter in the cookie dough changes when it is baked. The cookie dough turns into cookies! Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different. Both are caused by heating. Baking is caused by heating. But silver tarnishing is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is not a living thing. The Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture of four American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The sculpture does not have all the traits of a living thing. It does not grow or respond to the world around it. It does not need food or water. A rainboot is not a living thing. Rainboots do not have all of the traits of living things. They do not grow or respond to their environment. They do not need food or water. A zebra is a living thing. Zebras grow and respond to their environment. They need food and water. Zebras are made up of many cells. A bathtub is not a living thing. Bathtubs do not have all of the traits of living things. They do not grow or respond to their environment. They do not need food or water.

What do these two changes have in common? butter melting on a hot day burning a marshmallow over a campfire

[ "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are chemical changes." ]

B

Step 1: Think about each change. Butter melting on a hot day is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The butter changes from solid to liquid, but it is still made of the same type of matter. Burning a marshmallow is a chemical change. The heat from the fire causes the type of matter in the marshmallow to change. The marshmallow becomes black and crispy. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Butter melting on a hot day is a physical change. But burning a marshmallow is not. Both are chemical changes. Burning a marshmallow is a chemical change. But butter melting on a hot day is not. Both are caused by heating. Both changes are caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

[ "fruit punch", "coffee", "rain puddle", "beads" ]

D

Coffee is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you pour coffee into a different container, the coffee will take the shape of that container. But the coffee will still take up the same amount of space. Each bead in the jar is a solid. If you put many beads into a bottle, they will take the shape of the bottle, as a liquid would. But be careful! Beads are not a liquid. Each bead still has a size and shape of its own. A rain puddle is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you collect rainwater in a bucket, the rainwater will take the shape of the bucket. But the rainwater will still take up the same amount of space. Fruit punch is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you pour fruit punch into a cup, the punch will take the shape of the cup. But the punch will still take up the same amount of space.
