Answer:

Evaporating water

Melting butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a phase change to occur, heat energy needs to be released or absorb, and the process can be reversible. A phase change can cause physical changes but no new substance is formed.

These are examples of phases changes:

  • Melting: solid to a liquid (Melting butter)
  • Freezing: liquid to a solid
  • Vaporization/Evaporation: liquid to a gas (Evaporating water)
  • Condensation: gas to a liquid
  • Sublimation: solid to a gas
  • Deposition: gas to a solid

→Frying eggs in a chemical change (not reversible, a new substance is formed).

→Cutting wood is a physical change.

(*) My little brother (5th grade) just took the test and -evaporating water & melting butter- were the right answers.

(**) Hope this helps others who are looking for the answer of this question :)
