About
The Physical and Chemical change comic that we created was a short illistrative story that showed two examples of physical and chemical changes. Physical Changes are changing the appearance of a physical substance, but keeping the chemical makeup the same; Chemical changes are changes to the chemical makeup of the substance. The comic I created followed the story of two pieces of bread that were baking. The first physical change showed was mixing all of the ingredients together while the chemical change was baking the batter. The second examples were chewing food as a physical change and digesting food a chemical change.

21st Century Skills |
Pros and Cons |
The 21st Century Skill used in this project was Communication Skills. This aim of this project was to communicate to a voriety of people examples of physical and chemical changes in a creative and fun way and this project did just that; using baking in a comic while saying what were physical and chemical changes is a great way to effectively communicate a point to people.
Finding a way to effectively say what was a physical and chemical change clearly helped me further develop my Communication Skills. Communicating what each one of the examples was in a way that made sense was a fun challenge that helped build that skill.

I was proud of how much time I spent on this comic. I spent hours perfecting a way to communicate what physical and chemical changes were in a way that made the most sense not including all of the hours lining and coloring spent on the drawing.
The difficult thing was deciding on what to do to show physical and chemical changes. I wanted to do something that I would acutally enjoy doing but I was having a difficult time coming up with different ideas for what I could do to show the changes.

What Could be Better |
Past and Future Learning |
I would spend more time on the drawings then I did and make them more detailed. I had a idea before the bread one that would have been a lot more detailed but it was taking too long and I had to scrap it; I wish I had made the drawings better quality and on a bigger sheet of paper so I had more room to work.

this assignment relates to the past things I have learned so far in chemistry. Physical and Chemical changes relate to the scientific method; when doing experiments its good to be able to reconize and catagorize what they have changed into. This also relates to some of the baisics of chemistry that I had learned before this as baking is a form of chemistry.
I could apply my drawing skills later in high school as I plan on taking art classes during junior and seinor year. I can use the practice I got during this project on making comics so I can make a much longer more detailed one later during my life.
