The document discusses different types of changes that occur in nature and through human activities. It describes natural changes like plants growing and artificial changes like the processing of milk into curd. The document also explains physical changes, where an object's physical properties change but not its chemical makeup, and chemical changes, where the chemical properties and composition change, through examples of heating a hacksaw blade and burning magnesium. It concludes that change is essential for life and distinguishes between physical and chemical changes.

Activity- 1
Hold a used hack- saw blade with a pair of tongs. Keep the tip of the free end. On the flame of a gas stove. Wait for a few minutes. Remove the blade from the flame. Observe the tip once again after some time.
The hacksaw blade changed colour on heating and came back to the original colour.
• Properties such as shape, size, colour and state of a substance are called physical properties. A change in which a substance undergoes a change in its Physical properties is called a physical change.
6. Activity- 2
Get a small piece of a thin strip or ribbon of magnesium. Clean it up with sand paper. Bring the tip. Near a candle flame. It burns with a brilliant white light.
When it is completely burned it leaves behind a powdery ash.
A change in which a substance a change in its chemical properties is called a chemical change.
8. CONCLUSION
Changes is the law of nature. We glow every minutes as our body undergoes a change without which are cannot survive. A change in which a substance undergo a change in its physical properties is called a physical change.
A change in which a substance undergo a change in its chemical properties is called a chemical change.
