What are Physical Changes?
Physical changes are when a material keeps it's identity. Physical changes can change in shape, color, in a state or phase of matter, dissolving, or sometimes a color change. Examples of physical changes can be melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, or reversible.
Examples of Physical Changes
Melting An Ice Cube
Melting an ice cube is one example of a physical change. This photo shows an ice cube melting. This example is a solid changing into a liquid.
Boiling a Liquid
Boiling is another example of a physical change. This photo shows a liquid boiling in a pot. This example is a liquid changing into a gas.
Freezing a Liquid
Freezing another example of a physical change. This photo shows a liquids frozen in cube shaped containers. This is an example of a liquid changing into a solid.
Our Physical Change Video
We chose this video because it was the most accurate video that made sense in our grade. Also, it shows many of the examples of physical changes we talked about in class.
