Science – Kinds of Changes “Physical Change”

Read This:
*Physical Change – is a change of state/phase, size, shape but NO NEW
SUBSTANCE IS FORMED.

Factors which results to Physical Change:

1. Crushing
2. Breaking
3. Pounding
4. Cutting
5. Slicing
6. Molding

*Physics – is the science which deals with the study of energy and physical
changes in mater.
*Physicists – are Scientists that studies physics.
