I have a piece of paper. The paper is white. That is a physical property. Tearing the paper in half is a physical change. The paper is flammable, that is a chemical property. I burned the paper and it turned into ash. That is a chemical change. I am making a cake for my friend's birthday. First, I crack an egg and put it in a bowl. That is a physical change. Then, I add the rest of the ingredients and mix them all together. Next, I pour the batter into a pan and put it in the oven to bake. Baking the cake is a chemical change. After the cake has cooled, I add icing. The icing is blue. That is a physical property.
