Types of Changes

• A chemical change is exemplified by a piece of wood catching fire.
• Examples of activities that involve chemical changes include baking a cake and mixing chemicals in a lab.

Characteristics of Matter

• The two characteristics of matter are that it takes up space and has mass.

Properties of Substances

• A physical property of a substance is its odor.
• The ability of a substance to form new substances is called reactivity.

Types of Mixtures

• An example of a homogeneous mixture is air.
• Wood is an example of a heterogeneous mixture.

Elements and Compounds

• Water (H2O) is an example of a compound.
• Salt (NaCl) is an example of a compound.
• Sugar is not an element, it's a compound.
