* Physical Change: A physical change alters the form or appearance of a substance but doesn't change its chemical composition. Examples include melting ice, cutting paper, or dissolving sugar in water.
* Chemical Change: A chemical change results in the formation of new substances with different properties. Examples include burning wood, rusting iron, or baking a cake.
* Mixture: A mixture is a combination of two or more substances where each substance retains its own properties. Mixtures can be separated by physical means (like filtration or evaporation).
Chocolate milk is a mixture because:
* The chocolate powder and milk are combined physically, not through a chemical reaction.
* You can separate the components of chocolate milk (chocolate and milk) by physical means. For example, you could let the milk sit and the chocolate would settle to the bottom.
