Look at the example!

Cheetah

Cheetah is a vertebrate animal because has bones and backbone. It is a mammal because it has fur, breathes with lungs, born from its mother’s womb and have four legs and tail. It is vivipaorus and carnivore because onlyeat meat.It lives on land, in Africa.

Scorpion

Scorpion is an invertebrate animal because hasn't bones or backbone.It is an arthropod because it has exoskeleton and an arachnid because has eight legs. It is ovipaorus because it borns from eggs and carnivore because only eats meat. It lives on land.

"Different shape, same substance"

Es cuando una sustancia cambia su forma, pero continúa siendo la misma sustancia.Por ejemplo: Cuando arrugamos un papel, su forma cambia, pero sigue siendo papel.

Cambio de forma

"Diferente forma, misma sustancia"

It is when a substance turn into a new substance.There are two types of chemical changes:

"Wood turn into ashes and smoke"

Chemical changes

• Combustion

In a fire, when matter burns, it changes into new substances.

• Oxidation

Iron react to the air and the water and turn into a new substance; the rust.

Water vapour

When solid water is heat, it changes from solid to liquid.

When liquid water is cool below 0 ºC, it changes from liquid to solid. It freezes.

When liquid water is heat over 100 ºC, it changes from liquid to vapour. It evaporates.

When water vapour is cool, it changes from vapour to liquid. It condenses.

EXPERIMENTS

Combustion

Combustion is a chemical change where substances turn into new substances when they burn.

Experiment

What do we need?

• A candle.
• A crystal glass.
• A lighter to light up the candle.

How do it?

Light up the candle with the lighter and then cover it with the crystal glass.In a few seconds, the flame is going to be smaller and, finally, it will disappear.

What happened?There has been a chemical change.The flame, to burn, needs oxygen and the oxygen turn into carbon dioxide by combustion. When we cover the flame, it can't has more oxygen and, for this reason, it is out.

Candle

Crystal glass

Lighter

EXPERIMENTS

Combustión

La combustión es un cambio químico donde las sustancias se convierten en sustancias nuevas al arder.

Experimento

¿Qué necesitamos?

• Una vela.
• Un vaso de cristal.
• Un mechero para encender la vela.

¿Cómo hacerlo?

Enciende la vela con el mechero u luego cúbrela con el vaso de cristal.En unos segundos, la llama se hará más pequeña y, finalmente, desaparecerá.

¿Qué ha pasado?Ha habido un cambio químico.La llama, para arder, necesita oxígeno y el oxígeno se convierte en dióxido de carbono por combustión. Cuando cubrimos la llama, no puede tener más oxígeno y, por ello, se apaga.

Vela

Vaso de cristal

EXPERIMENTS

Chemical reaction

In this experiment we goingo to see a chemical change. Mixing two substances we will get new substances when they come together. That is a chemical reaction.

Experiment

What do we need?

• A plastic bottle.
• A balloon.
• Vinegar.
• Bicarbonate.

How do it?

Fill the balloon with a little bicarbonate. Fill the plastic bottle with a few vinegar.Now, with care, join the balloon with the bottle opening without throw the bicarbonate.When you have covered the opening, throw the bicarbonate inside the bottle.

What happened?There has been a chemical reaction.The bicarbonate, mixed with vinager, make a reaction and turn into carbon dioxide, filling the balloon.

EXPERIMENTS

Reacción química

En este experimento vamos a ver un cambio químico. Mezclando dos sustancias, vamos a obtener sustancias nuevas cuando se junten. Esto es una reacción química.

Experimento

¿Qué necesitamos?

• Una botella de plástico.
• Un globo.
• Vinagre.
• Bicarbonato.

¿Cómo hacerlo?

Llena el globo con un poco de bicarbonato. Llena la botella de plástico con un poco de vinagre.Ahora, con cuidado, une el globo con la apertura de la botella sin derramar el bicarbonato.Cuando cubras la apertura, derrama el bicarbonato dentro de la botella.

¿Qué ha pasado?Ha habido una reacción química.El bicarbonato, mezclado con vinagre, hace reacción y se transforma en dióxido de carbono, llenando el globo.

EXPERIMENTS

Evaporation

We going to do an easy experiment to separate two differnt substances mixed together in a homogeneous mixture.We'll do it by evaporation.

Experiment

What do we need?

• A big bowl with a few water.
• An empty smaller bowl or glass.
• Food coloring.
• Plastic.
• A little stone or something heavy.

How do it?

We have to put some water into the big bowl. Then, we have to put some coloring food mixed with the water to give it colour.Shake the mixture. Now, we have a homogeneous mixture.Put the empty and smaller bowl or glass into the big bowl, just in the middle.Cover the big bowl with plastic, place it in a sunny place and put the stone over the center of the plastic.

What happened?There has been an evaporation.The water has changed of state and turn into vapour and then turn into liquid water again. But now is clean!!! That happens because only water can change to gas.

Touch here to see an example!

EXPERIMENTS

Evaporación

Vamos a hacer un sencillo experimento para separar dos sustancias unidas en una mezcla homogénea.Lo haremos por evaporación.

Experimento

¿Qué necesitamos?

• Un bol grande con un poco de agua.
• Un bol o vaso más pequeño.
• Colorante alimentario.
• Plástico.
• Una piedra pequeña o algo pesado.

¿Cómo hacerlo?

Pondremos un poco de agua en el bol grande. Luego, echaremos el colorante mezclado con el agua para darle color.Agita la mezcla.Ahora, tenemos una mezcla homogénea.Pon el bol o vaso más pequeño dentro del grande, justo en el medio.Cubre el bol grande con plástico, llévalo a un lugar soleado y pon la piedra sobre el centro del plástico.

¿Qué ha pasado?Ha habido una evaporación.El agua ha cambiado de estado y se ha transformado en vapor y luego se ha transformado en líquido de nuevo. ¡Pero ahora está limpia! Esto sucede porque solo el agua ha podido convertirse en gas.

¡Toca aquí para ver un ejemplo!

EXPERIMENTS

Magnetic separation

In this experiment we goingo to do a magnetic separation. Mixing two substances, one of them magnetic, we will do a heterogeneous mixture, so we'll separate them by magnetic separation.

Experiment

What do we need?

• A magnet.
• Sand or flour.
• Clips or pushpins.

How do it?

Mix the two different substances into a plate. Cover the clips well with the flour.Take the magnet and pass it over the flour (without touching it).You will separate the magnetic substances from the flour (which is not magnetic).

What happened?There has been a magnetic separation.The magnet can attract to it the magnectic substances and, for this reason, the pushpins are separated from the flour.

EXPERIMENTS

Separación magnética

En este experimento haremos una separación magnética. Mezclando dos sustancias, una de ellas magnética, haremos una mezcla heterogénea, por lo que las separaremos mediante separación magnética.

Experimento

¿Qué necesitamos?

• Un imán.
• Arena o harina.
• Clips o chinchetas.

¿Cómo lo haremos?

Mezcla las dos sustancias en un plato. Cubre bien los clips con la harina.Coge el imán y pásalo sobre la harina (sin tocarla).Separarás las sustancias magnéticas de la harina (que no es magnética).

¿Qué ha pasado?Ha habido una separación magnética.El imán puede atraer a las sustancias magnéticas y, por esta razón, las chinchetas son separdas de la harina.
