A physical change involves a change in the state or appearance of a substance without altering its chemical composition. When heated, the object might melt (if it's a solid that can melt, like ice or a similar substance), change shape (due to softening from heat), or change texture (becoming more fluid - like). Since it's a physical change, there would be no new substances formed.
