CBSE Class 6 Science Notes Chapter 6 Changes Around Us

The different topics covered in CBSE Class 6 Science Chapter 6 are tabulated below:

Ex-6.1	Can All Changes Always Be Reversed?
Ex-6.2	Could There Be Other Ways To Bring A Change?

Ex. 6.1 – Can All Changes Always Be Reversed?

Changes caused by heating: When an object is heated, it gets affected in one or many possible ways.

• Some objects get hot but do not change in any other way.
• Some objects get hot and also expand in size.
• Some objects get hot and begin to bum.
• Some objects get hot and change their state.

Changes by applying pressure: When we apply force to an object:

• We can change its shape and size.
• Air can be compressed.
• Metals can be hammered into thin sheets.
• Elastic can be stretched.
• Cotton can be spun into thin threads.

Chemical changes: These are the changes in which chemical properties of a substance change, and a new substance is formed. For example, cooking food.

Characteristics of chemical changes:

• Properties of products are different from the properties of reactants.
• Most of the chemical changes are irreversible.
• These changes always result in energy changes.

Physical changes: These are the changes in which only physical property of a substance changes and no new substance is formed.Characteristics of physical changes:

• No new substances are formed.
• Products are identical to the reactants.
• These changes are reversible.

Reversible changes: These are the changes that can be reversed.

For example : stretching of rubber

Irreversible changes: These are the changes which cannot be brought back to its original state.

For example : burning paper

Ex. 6.2 – Could There Be Other Ways To Bring A Change?

Melting: A process in which a solid melts to become a liquid on heating is called melting.

Melting point: A constant temperature at which a solid starts melting. This temperature is called the melting point of that solid.

Freezing: A process in which liquid changes into solid form is called freezing.

Changes: Many changes are taking place around us on their own, e.g., flowers bloom and then wither away. We can also bring a change, e.g., change in the size of a balloon by blowing air in it.

Natural changes: The changes which occur in nature on their own are called natural changes. For example, change of day and night, change of season.

Slow changes: The changes which take longer time to occur are called slow changes. For example, rusting of iron, tooth decay.

Contraction: A process in which an object becomes smaller or shrinks is called contraction.

Evaporation: A process in which liquid changes into vapour is called evaporation.

Expansion: A process in which an object becomes bigger in size, e.g. metals expand on heating.

Separation : The separation of the components of a mixture or an impure substance are carried out with the following purposes :

a. To remove the unuseful or harmful component.

b. To obtain the useful component.

c. To remove impurities for getting a pure sample.

Conclusion :

• Changes happen around us and also within us.
• Some changes are reversible, while some others are irreversible.
• Some changes are physical changes; some are chemical changes.
• Heating causes expansion in a material.
• Cooling causes contraction in a material.
• Gases expand the most and solids expand the least.
• Gases contract the most and solids contract the least.
