‘Spot the Evidence’ Chemical and Physical Change Task Cards For Year 6

Help students build a deeper understanding of how matter changes with these engaging ‘Spot the Evidence’ Chemical and Physical Change Task Cards. As students investigate everyday phenomena such as rusting, burning, baking, tarnishing, and food spoilage, they learn to distinguish between reversible physical changes and irreversible chemical changes using observable evidence. 

These ‘Spot the Evidence’ Chemical and Physical Change Task Cards encourage learners to analyse scenarios, identify signs of chemical reactions, and support their conclusions with scientific reasoning.

Identify Proof of Physical and Chemical Changes

Using these task cards, your students will practise identifying key indicators of chemical reactions, including colour changes, gas production, temperature changes, new odours, and the formation of new substances.

Designed for independent practise, science centres, review lessons, and assessment activities, this resource helps students identify evidence of physical and chemical changes through a variety of engaging task cards.

What’s Included:

• 32 task cards focused on observing evidence of physical and chemical changes.
• Student recording sheets
• Suggested answer key
