Blueberry Muffins An Exploration of Matter By Chemistry Teacher Chemistry, 2015
Blueberry Muffins: Ingredients Ingredients Muffin Mix Water Vegetable Oil Unshelled eggs Blueberries
Ingredients: States and Types of Matter Substance State of Matter Type of Matter Homogeneous mixture Muffin mix Solid Heterogeneous mixture Blueberries Solid
Ingredients: States and Types of Matter Substance State of Matter Type of Matter Water Liquid Compound Vegetable Oil Liquid Homogeneous mixture Eggs (no shell) Liquid Heterogeneous mixture
Batter Mixed: Physical Change Change Substance Before change Solid, Homogeneous mixture Substance After change Liquid, Heterogeneous mixture Muffin mix state change Evidence this is a physical change: No signs of chemical change
Batter to Muffin Tin: Physical Change Change Muffin batter shape change Substance before change Liquid, heterogeneous mixture In shape of bowl Evidence this is a physical change: identity of substance did not change Substance after change Liquid, heterogeneous mixture In shape of muffins
Muffins Baked: Chemical Change Change Substance before change Substance after change Beige-colored, liquid Darker-colored, solid Baking of Muffins Evidence this is a chemical change: Color change, Odor change, Texture change
Muffins Baked: States and Types of Matter Substance State of Matter Type of Matter Blueberry Muffin Heterogeneous mixture Solid
My Biggest Challenge State of matter for the muffin batter = liquid? Do you agree or disagree with me that the muffin batter was a liquid? Why? What state of matter do you think the muffin batter is, and why?
