Physical Change
is a change in physical properties of matter.
It is a change in the way matter looks.
It can be a change in size, shape, form and
phase.
A change of state is also a physical change.
Matter looks different after a physical change,
but it is still made of the same kind of matter.
Illustrations:
When liquid water freezes, its state changes
from a liquid to a solid. The water looks
different, but it is still water.
Tearing a sheet of paper is a physical
change. The size of the paper is different,
but the paper is still paper.
Painting an object does not change what the
object is made of.
Not all types of matter change in the same
way. Like if you pull a rubber band, it
stretches. When you let go, it returns to its
original size. If you pull on a metal spoon,
nothing happens. If you pull on a piece of
thread, it might break.

When you add baking soda to vinegar, carbon

liquid, bubbles form.

The Statue of Liberty used to be the same color
as a 10-centavo coin. It turned green as a result
