Chemical and Physical Properties of Matter Project

Chemical and Physical Properties of Matter ProjectGoal: (S8P1d) Distinguish between physical and chemical properties of matter.Role: You have been hired as an author to illustrate a book that teaches elementary students aboutphysical and chemical properties.Audience: 3 rd through 5 th grade students and the owner of the Children’s Science Book PublishingCompany, Ms. Felder.Situation: The owner of the Children’s Science Book Publishing Company, Ms. Felder, has hired you tocreate a story board that previews what you will include your children’s science book.
