Students in 7th-grade science conducted a hands-on investigation to gather evidence about properties. This investigation will help students determine whether substances can change into other substances. After the experiment, they will explore Laboratory mode in the Simulation. They used this mode to observe that substances can change into different substances at the atomic scale.
