Evidence - What observations about the forest fire support your claim? Answer the question with one or more complete sentences to receive full credit. Optional - Use a sentence stem from the "Evidence" Box below.
Evidence: The large plumes of smoke and flames reaching high into the sky are observations that support my claim.
How does it prove that it is a chemical change, what does a fire forest do to make it chemical?
Evidence: The transformation of solid plant material into ash, the release of gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, as well as the production of heat and light, all indicate that a forest fire involves chemical changes.
The transformation of solid plant material into ash, the release of gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, as well as the production of heat and light, all indicate that a forest fire involves chemical changes.
Yes, that's correct! The transformation of solid plant material into ash, the release of gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, as well as the production of heat and light, are all indicators of chemical changes taking place during a forest fire.
Reasoning - How does your evidence support your claim about the forest fire? Answer the question with one or more complete sentences for full credit. Optional - Use a sentence stem from the "Reasoning" Box below.
Reasoning: The evidence of the transformation of solid plant material into ash, the release of gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, as well as the production of heat and light, supports my claim that a forest fire involves chemical changes. These observations demonstrate that the organic matter in the forest is undergoing combustion reactions, where chemical bonds are broken and new substances are formed.
