A physical change happens when the substance changes in appearance yet maintains its physical and chemical properties. A chemical change occurs when a different substance forms with newly formed physical and chemical properties. The first substance was magnesium. Before it was heated, it was a shiny silver strip. It was smooth, malleable, and flat. When heated, a bright light was emitted. The new substance magnesium oxide was white, chalky, brittle, and dull. The light given off and the new substance formed both indicate a chemical change. The second substance was copper. Before we heated it, it was shiny, round, smooth, and a copper color. After it was heated, the color changed to blue. It was no longer shiny, but dull.
