PHYSICAL CHANGE

IN MATTER
Specific Objectives
• Describe changes in solid materials when
they are bent, pressed, hammered, or
cut.
• Understand the effects of changes in
materials to our daily lives.
• Practice ways of changing materials that
can be useful in our everyday lives.
 Have you observe many
changes in our daily life?
Ex. Green papaya fruit turns yellow and
sweet after several weeks. Big woody
trees are made into chairs, tables and
cabinet. These are all useful changes.
Physical Changes
• Changes that just change the form or
physical appearance of the matter, like
change in the size, shape, and phase.
• Do not change the amount of matter in an
object.
• No new substance is produced
Look at the picture. Are they familiar to
you? Can you identify them?
Example:
A bread that is cut into pieces has
the same texture, color, softness,
smell, and taste as the whole
bread. These properties do not
change with the change in
amount.
- It does not form a new
substance.
Some solid like metals can undergo physical
change by cutting, hammering, pressing or bending
without breaking.
Example:
A blacksmith cut an iron bar and
pound it with a hammer to make a
knife blade. Despite the changes that
it underwent, still has same
composition as that of the iron bar.
When solid materials is bent, cut,
hammered, and pressed, it may
change its?
Answer:
Size and shape
Solid material is bent, only physical appearance is
changed.
Physical Change may also be a
change in the phase of matter
• Melting
• Evaporation
• Condensation
• Freezing
• Sublimation
• Deposition
MELTING It is when heat is applied, its
particles move faster. This causes
a solid change into liquid.

In other words, their process is

solid to liquid

• Ex. Melting of an ice cube to water

EVAPORATION It is when heat causes the
liquid particles to move a lot
faster and causes the liquid
to change into gas.

In other words, their process

is liquid to gas

• Ex. Formation of steam from a boiling point.

CONDENSATION It is when heat is removed
from a material, the
particles move slowly and
closer together. This is how
gas changes into liquid.

• Ex. Formation of In other words, their

process is gas to liquid
dew on plants.
FREEZING If enough heat and energy is
removed, liquid may change into
solid. Liquid particles move much
closer together, forming a solid.

In other words, their process is

liquid to solid
• Ex. Freezing sweetened cream into ice
cream
DEPOSITION It is the opposite of sublimation. It
is when heat energy is removed
the particles of gas move freely
and rapidly.

In other words, their process is

gas to solid
• Ex. Formation of ice frosts on windows and
leaves
SUBLIMATION It is the opposite of deposition.
It is when pressure is low, the
solid particles have weaker
attraction, allowing it to rapidly
escape into the atmosphere

In other words, their process is

solid to gas
• Ex. Sublimation of dry ice into carbon dioxide gas
 GENERALIZATION
• The physical characteristics of solids such as
size and shape can be changed without affecting
their chemical composition.
• It is important to understand the physical
changes in matter because it helps us to think of
physical changes as those involving changes
that do not change the make-up of the substance
Every one of us is unique and different from
each other. Sometimes, we cannot ask anyone
to change for us because sometimes what only
matters are to learn accept and be accepted.
