3. Distribute Vocabulary Terms and Explanation sheet. Discuss each.

4. Review the phenomena and depict the chemical, physical, or both 
   change that occurred in each situation.  
 
5. Present pre-test on chemical and physical changes.  Orally grade
   test and discuss correct answers.

6. Present final test.  

7. After final test has been graded; inform those students who mastered 
   80% or higher when they will be taking the enrichment class.
