Understanding Changes in Matter

The video tutorial explains the two types of changes matter can undergo: physical and chemical. Physical changes alter the form but not the identity of a substance, and are usually reversible. Examples include melting, freezing, and cutting. Chemical changes result in new substances and are irreversible, such as rusting and burning. The video provides numerous examples to illustrate these concepts.
