Physical Change

– is the change in size, shape, color


and phase, but no new material is
formed. It does not alter the chemical
composition of a substance.

Melting
- a process when solid changed into
liquid

ice -------------- water


Freezing
- a process when liquid changed into
solid

water ------------- ice


Evaporation
- liquid changed into gas

boiling water ---- vapor in clouds


Condensation
- gas changed into liquid

vapor in clouds --------- rain


Water <----------> Ice

CLUE 3: change is reversible

Other Examples:
● cutting paper
● breaking stick
● molding of clay
● slicing cake
When a material undergoes physical
change?

It is when a material only changes in size,


shape, color and phase, but no new
material is formed.
What are the common processes that cause
physical changes in the materials?

These include cutting, bending,


dissolving, shredding, melting and
freezing.
Chemical Change
– is a kind of change where new and
different materials are formed. The new
materials formed have different properties
from the original materials.

CLUE 3: change is irreversible

It is an irreversible process,
meaning when a material undergoes a
chemical change, the new material
formed cannot be brought back to its
original form.
Other Examples:
● baking cake
● digesting food
● cooking chicken adobo
● souring of milk
● burning dried grass
When a material undergoes chemical change?

It is when new and different materials are


formed. The new materials formed have
different properties from the original
materials.
What are the common processes that cause
chemical changes in the materials?

These include burning, cooking, rusting,


and exposing to oxygen.
