TYPES OF CHANGES 

(i)    Reversible and irreversible changes
    (a)  Reversible  change

    A change which can be reversed by the conditions is called a reversible change. 
    eg. Melting of ice, dissolving of salt in water,  drying of clothes etc.

(b)  Irreversible  change
 A change that cannot be reversed by reversing the condition is called an irreversible change.
 eg. Burning of paper, curdling of milk 

Activity–1
AIM : To find out weather the change can be reversed or not.
                                  Some common changes                 
                           Change             Can be Reversed          

        Raw egg to boiled egg                 Yes/No

        Cow dung to biogas
        Stretched rubber band to its normal size
        Solid ice cream to molten
    Some common changes are given in above table. We have to find that the changes given can be reversed or not. 

The answer of changes which can be reversed or not is given in Yes/no in the table below.
