This document discusses the differences between physical and chemical properties and changes in matter. It states that all matter has two types of properties - physical and chemical. Physical properties can be observed without changing the substance, such as mass, state, and texture. Chemical properties can only be observed by changing the substance, like its ability to burn or react. A physical change alters the substance's form or shape but not its identity, while a chemical change creates a new substance through breaking or forming of bonds. Evidence of physical changes includes alterations in size or phase, and of chemical changes includes color or odor changes.
