What is TRUE?
You use these to help you identify the physical properties.
What are YOUR SENSES?
These are the characteristics of an object and you use your senses to identify them.
What are PHYSICAL PROPERTIES?
Is Alka-Seltzer and water an example of a physical change?
What is NO? When you mix Alka-Seltzer and water, bubbles form, which indicates a chemical change as taken place.

What is iron is magnetic and sand is not, so you can use a magnetic wand to separate the two substances?
This type of matter keeps a definite shape.
What is a SOLID?
CHALLENGE (not a quiz question): Explain how the water cycle an example of a physical change.
What is YES, it is a physical change, because water changes from a liquid/solid when it precipitates, to a gas when it evaporates, then forms back into a liquid when it condensates. Then the process repeats again with the same substance, WATER!
