Physical and Chemical Changes – Device-Based Scavenger Hunt Activity.

Think of a scavenger hunt, then add devices (Smartphones, Chromebooks, Laptops, or Tablets), engaged students, and learning through assessment and you have this resource that covers Physical and Chemical Changes.

The Content Includes:

• Physical Changes

--> Changes of state

• Chemical Changes

• Rusting

• Combustion

In order to use this activity, your classroom must have at least 1 device per 3 students. Smartphones, Chromebooks, Laptops, and Tablets will all work perfectly.

I've created a video that walks you through the entire activity. I did it using screen capture software on my phone so you can see exactly what your students will see. CLICK HERE to have a look.
