S8P1a
Develop and use a model to compare and contrast pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures. (Clarification statement: Include heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. Types of bonds and compounds will be addressed in high school physical science.)
S8P1b
Develop and use models to describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma states when thermal energy is added or removed.
S8P1c
Plan and carry out investigations to compare and contrast chemical (i.e., reactivity, combustibility) and physical (i.e., density, melting point, boiling point) properties of matter.
S8P1e
Develop models (e.g., atomic-level models, including drawings, and computer representations) by analyzing patterns within the periodic table that illustrate the structure, composition, and characteristics of atoms (protons, neutrons, and electrons) and simple molecules.
S8P1d
Construct an argument based on observational evidence to support the claim that when a change in a substance occurs, it can be classified as either chemical or physical. (Clarification statement: Evidence could include ability to separate mixtures, development of a gas, formation of a precipitate, change in energy, color, and/or form.)
S8P1f
Construct an explanation based on evidence to describe conservation of matter in a chemical reaction including the resulting differences between products and reactants. (Clarification statement: Evidence could include models such as balanced chemical equations.)

What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?
120
A pure substance cannot be separated into its components, while a mixture can be separated.
A pure substance is always a gas, while a mixture can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
A pure substance is made up of only one type of substance, while a mixture is made up of multiple substances.
A pure substance is always a liquid, while a mixture can be a solid, liquid, or gas.

Q.Maria and Carla were hiking when Maria tripped, fell, and sprained her ankle. Carla took out the first-aid kit and unwrapped a cold pack. Carla popped a vial that was inside the cold pack. The pack began to get icy cold and Carla applied the pack to Maria's ankle. What kind of reaction occurred in the cold pack? What evidence supports your answer?

Q.Ben and Sam were conducting experiments on physical and chemical changes in science class. First they added some salt to water and stirred it up until the salt dissolved. "That's a physical change" Ben said. "And that's a solution which is a mixture", added Sam. Next they added an anti-acid tablet to some water. The water began to fizz and bubble. The beaker got cooler. "That's a physical change too," Ben noted. "No, it's not," responded Sam. Who is correct and where should the contents of the beaker be placed in the Venn diagram?

Q.While studying chemical reactions and conservation of matter, Sarah's class conducted a variety of experiments. Sarah and her lab partner found the mass of a wax candle and placed the candle in a flask. The students lit the candle and let it burn to completion. All that was left was wax and charred candle wick. Per their teacher's instructions, the students found the mass of the products. Their data can be seen in the data table. Formulate a hypothesis the students could test to explain why the experiment did not support the law of conservation of matter.
