Poor Sam! His graham crackers have undergone a physical change, so he can't make his s'mores! Mia explains that their molecules haven't changed, therefore they are still graham crackers. The two teens then discuss clues that would indicate a chemical change has occurred rather than a physical change. Use this as a tasty introduction to physical and chemical changes!
