Sarah G. –
Overall a great resource, but the Chemical and Physical Changes document only has the first 11 pages, so the text and questions are not on it.

These passages are an excellent way to review Science concepts as a reading activity.

Just understand this is not a whole or a stand alone lesson. This should be used as supplementary work.
