Key concepts students will learn:

  • A physical change occurs when matter changes size, shape, or state but remains the same substance.

  • Examples of physical changes include cutting, bending, melting, freezing, and evaporating.

  • Mixing substances is a physical change if they don't form something new, and physical changes can often be reversed.
