Physical and Chemical changes

Physical changes do not cause a substance to become a
fundamentally different substance. Chemical changes, on the other
hand, cause a substance to change into something entirely new.
Chemical changes are typically irreversible, but that is not always the
case.

EXAMPLES:
State changes are physical.
Cutting, tearing, shattering, and grinding are physical.
Mixing together substances is physical.
Gas bubbles forming is chemical.
Precipitates forming is chemical.
Rotting, burning, cooking, and rusting (for example) are chemical.
Changes of color or release of odors (i.e. release of a gas) might
be chemical.

 CLASS ACTIVITY
Romans 12:1-2I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to
present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is
your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God,
what is good and acceptable and perfect.
After reading the passage, What kind of change would you like to experience?
Like a physical change, in which just a superficial part of you is modified? Or like
a chemical change, in which you will be totally renewed by a substance? Explain.
