Physical Change Poem

Physical change,
Visible change!
eyes cartoon
Properties stay the same!
Physical change,
Visible change!
No acid, or burning by flame…
fire cartoon
Like, cutting, and slicing,
And freezing, and grinding,
Not causing a change in trait,
Never a change of molecules,
But maybe a change in shape…

Physical change,
Visible change!
Can sometimes be reversed,
Physical change,
Visible change,
No atoms are ‘perversed’
Physical change,
Visible change!
A change you sometimes might see,
Change in texture,
Color,
Shape,
Or even density…

What is a Physical Change?

A change that does not result in the creation of a new substance.

Physical changes are changes that change the physical properties, such as what happens when wood is cut, or glass is shattered (you still have wood or glass).
