Procedure

Introduction to physical change stations, followed by discussion of which physical changes are reversible.
Make ooblek - a physical change. It is reversible and can be seen when water evaporates from a small drop of ooblek leaving the powdery cornstarch behind.
Study a physical change, water changing state, in more detail, by measuring the temperature of water in different states.
