This lesson explores the concepts of physical and chemical changes in substances. A physical change alters a substance without changing its identity, such as melting ice, freezing Kool-aid, tearing paper, and boiling water. In contrast, a chemical change results in the formation of new substances, characterized by reactions like burning paper, digesting food, and electrolysis of water. Indicators of chemical changes include the evolution of light, heat, gas production, color change, and the formation of a precipitate. Learn to differentiate between physical and chemical changes through practical examples.
