Reversible and Irreversible Changes in Science
Science – day 2
WALT investigate what is the difference
between reversible and irreversible change?
We are being scientists
Can you see any crystals forming yet?
If so, what shape and size are they?
Record your observations.
Photograph them if you can.
Look at your crystal experiment. What differences do you
notice in the growth of the crystals from yesterday? Write them
down.
Your task today:
To design and create a poster or other
presentation to show
the difference between reversible and
irreversible change.
•
What is the difference between
reversible and irreversible change?
Our question which we are
investigating today...
Reversible, irreversible, solid, liquid, gas,
states of matter, change, substance
KEY VOCABULARY
Make sure you can define these words by the
end of today’s session.
Use the following slides to develop your
understanding of these scientific terms
What is a reversible change?
A change that can be undone or reversed.
Boiling water
Solution of sugar
and water
Ice cubes melting
Melting butter
They can be changed back again.
I know that dissolving is a reversible change.
When a solid (
solute
) dissolves in the liquid
(
solvent
)
, a
solution
is formed.
When salt is
mixed with
water it
disappears
because it
dissolves in
the water to
make salty
water.
But the salt
can be
recovered
from the
salty water
by boiling
off the
water.
A type of mixture where one
substance is dissolved into
another.
Substance that is being
dissolved by another substance.
The substance that dissolves
the other substance.
Does it dissolve?
Test the following materials to see if they dissolve in water.
You could record your findings in the table below.
Using what you’ve found out, can you
group the materials you tested?
Soluble

What happens to the sugar in a cup of tea?
sugar
tea
When you mix the sugar
into the tea and stir, it
dissolves so you can't see it.
Where does the sugar go?
The evidence for it still being
there is to taste it, the tea
tastes sweet.
Tea solution
What will happen to the weight of
the water when sugar is
dissolved?
The
resulting
solution has
the same
weight as
the sugar
and water
separately.
Record changes in weight when sugar is added
to water and stirred to dissolve.
The same
number of
particle are
present before
and after
dissolving.
NOTHING
DISAPPEARS!
sugar
tea
How can you reverse dissolving?
Pour small amounts of salty water onto a saucers and leave to evaporate.
Observe the changes over time.
If you leave the salt solution in a dry place you
will end up with salt again.
This is a reversible change

Remember to use the key vocabulary to as a scientist
would – we are being scientists after all!
Explore the differences between reversible and irreversible changes through a crystal experiment and vocabulary development. Discover examples of reversible changes like dissolving and test various materials for solubility. Engage in designing a presentation to illustrate the contrast between reversible and irreversible alterations.

We are being scientists Science day 2 WALT investigate what is the difference between reversible and irreversible change?
Look at your crystal experiment. What differences do you notice in the growth of the crystals from yesterday? Write them down. Can you see any crystals forming yet? If so, what shape and size are they? Record your observations. Photograph them if you can.
Our question which we are investigating today... What is the difference between reversible and irreversible change? Your task today: To design and create a poster or other presentation to show the difference between reversible and irreversible change.
KEY VOCABULARY Make sure you can define these words by the end of today s session. Reversible, irreversible, solid, liquid, gas, states of matter, change, substance Use the following slides to develop your understanding of these scientific terms
What is a reversible change? A change that can be undone or reversed. Boiling water Ice cubes melting Melting butter Solution of sugar and water They can be changed back again.
I know that dissolving is a reversible change. The substance that dissolves the other substance. Substance that is being dissolved by another substance. When a solid (solute) dissolves in the liquid (solvent), a solution is formed. A type of mixture where one substance is dissolved into another. But the salt can be recovered from the salty water by boiling off the water. When salt is mixed with water it disappears because it dissolves in the water to make salty water. Reversible Changes Examples Dissolving
Does it dissolve? Test the following materials to see if they dissolve in water. You could record your findings in the table below. Using what you ve found out, can you group the materials you tested? DOES IT DISSOLVE?
