Physical & Chemical Changes
Telling the difference, and the one question that decides it.
What this lesson covers
Physical & Chemical Changes is a 10-part Class 6 Science lesson. Each part makes one point and then hands over to the next, so it can be read in a sitting or picked up again at the part you stopped on. It defines the idea in plain words before using it, works through an example step by step, breaks the topic into its parts and compares them, shows where it is used outside the textbook, names the mistakes that cost marks in an exam, ends with a recap of what to remember.
How it begins
Every change is one or the other, and one question separates them: Has a new substance been made? No → physical change. The substance is the same, only its form has changed. Yes → chemical change. Something genuinely different now exists. Everything else in this lesson is evidence for answering that one question.
