    Melting ice, breaking glass, and unzipping a zipper are physical changes because they involve changes in physical state or structure without changing the chemical composition of the substances. Burning wood and propane as well as digesting food are chemical changes because new substances are formed through chemical reactions that alter the molecular structure of the original substances.
