35、hanks to the doctors and nurses试卷第 7页，总 14页Do you like Physics or Chemistry? Matter (物质) is always changing, either physicallyor chemically. If a material goes through a physical change, it is still the same material.During a chemical change, one kind of matter changes into another completely differ

36、ent kindof matter. For example, when we burn wood or cook fish, materials change. People usechemistry every day in the kitchen.

Eggs serve two purposesthe whites help the cake to rise, while theyolks (蛋黄) give it a creamy texture.All of these ingredients form a mixture. This mixturecan be separated into its di

42、fferent components (成分) although it is very difficult. Once thecake mixture is formed, its poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven. The heat from the试卷第 8页，总 14页oven has caused chemical changes to take place. The cake is finished and the ingredientscannot be separated.38The material doesnt chang
