Matter can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas and can change in different ways. In some changes, the substances are essentially the same and retain their properties. For example, if you cut a carrot and a stalk of celery into three pieces each and mix them together, you will still have the substances of carrot and celery. The celery is still green and the carrots are still orange. The carrots still taste like carrots and celery still tastes like celery. This process of change is called a ___________ _____________.
