  • 6 Examples of Physical Changes: Definitions & Examples
    Here are 6 examples of physical changes:

    1. Melting Ice: Ice (solid water) changes to liquid water. The chemical makeup (H₂O) remains the same, but the state of matter changes.

    2. Boiling Water: Liquid water turns into water vapor (gas). Again, the chemical composition doesn't change, only the physical state.

    3. Crushing a Can: A can is deformed but still remains aluminum. The chemical makeup isn't altered.

    4. Cutting Paper: A sheet of paper is divided into smaller pieces, but it remains paper. The chemical composition hasn't changed.

    5. Mixing Salt and Water: Salt dissolves in water, creating a saltwater solution. The salt and water are still present, just mixed together.

    6. Freezing Juice: Liquid juice transforms into solid ice, but the chemical composition remains the same.
