Warm Up
Mayor McKnight has written to us with a new idea for how to help the people of East Ferris. Read and answer the questions below.
Based on the definition, which of the following could be described as wastewater? Select all that apply (there may be more than one correct answer).
Let’s look at the diagram of how a wastewater treatment plant works.

What happens at Step 1?
What happens at Step 2?
What happens at Step 3?
What happens at Step 4?
Does the wastewater have the same properties before and after being treated (after substances were added)?

To help us figure out how new substances form, let’s do an investigation. We will observe substances before and then mix them together to see what happens.
Directions:
Part 1: Before Mixing:
Observe the baking soda, calcium chloride, and phenol red solution BEFORE mixing using the pictures below. [color, shape, size, smell, state of matter (solid, liquid, gas)] Write your observations in the table below.
What are 2 properties of baking soda [color, shape, size, smell, phase of matter (solid, liquid, gas)]?
What are 2 properties of calcium chloride [color, shape, size, smell, phase of matter (solid, liquid, gas)]?
What are 2 properties of phenol red solution [color, shape, size, smell, phase of matter (solid, liquid, gas)]?
What happened while the baking soda, calcium chloride, and phenol red solution were mixing?
What properties did you observe after the substances mixed?
Are they the properties the same or different as the properties before they mixed?
You should have have read the book Chemical Reactions Everywhere for last week's TES 5.2 assignment. Let's review chemical reactions.

Which of these pieces of evidence (that a chemical reaction happened) did we see in our investigation?
Banana Aging: Which pieces of evidence shows there was a chemical reaction for the picture above?
Banana Aging: Is this is a chemical reaction? Did a new substance (made of one type of atom or molecule) form?
Ice Melting: Which pieces of evidence shows there was a chemical reaction for the picture above?
Ice Melting: Is this is a chemical reaction? Did a new substance (made of one type of atom or molecule) form?
Marshmallows Roasting: Which pieces of evidence shows there was a chemical reaction for the picture above?
Marshmallows Roasting: Is this is a chemical reaction? Did a new substance (made of one type of atom or molecule) form?
