That's a physical change, becuase shattered glass is still glass, it's just in a bunch of pieces. Its chemical composition has not changed, only its shape.
They're objects, they're not a change of any sort.

Shattering is only a physical change because the chemical composition is still the same (unless you're shattering molecules or atoms).

I assume you are talking about a solid shattering. This is a physical change. The reason it is not a chemical change is that say in glass for instance, the silicon dioxide molecules themselves do not change. It is just the shape that changes.

A plate dropping and shattering is a physical change. It is not a chemical change, as the material used in making the plate doesn't change.
Shattered glass is a physical change because the identity of the glass does not change.
It is a physical change because it has not changed its chemical composition.

No. It is purely a physical change, that of melting. No chemical reaction takes place.
Dissolving salt in soup is a physical change.
