Physical Or Chemical Change (Heating ZnO)

Hypothesis: Chemical change 

Equipment: Sample of ZnO (Zinc Oxide)
Heat source- Hot plate
Scales 
Tongs 
Heatproof container- Evaporating dish 
Heatproof mat 

Method- 
1. Get a sample of ZnO in an evaporating dish
2. Weigh the ZnO & Container - Record Weight 
3. Heat Container & ZnO on a hot plate
4. Observe any changes- use phones for before and after photos (video?)
5. Take off the heat and put on a heatproof mat
6. Let Cool - Observe - Photos 
7. Re Weigh

Results What happened?: it weighed 57 grams in the beginning and the weight didn't change.

Conclusion:When we heated the Zinc Oxide it smelt and and turned a little bit yellow, it was a physical change because it could easily reversed to its original state.
