Is heating of iron wire physical or chemical change?

Since the chemical structure of the iron (Fe) does not change, it is a physical change. I would like to point out that this does make the likelihood that a chemical change will take place higher, more energy equals a faster phase transformation. If the iron it is sitting in air, the outer surface is likely under going a chemical change into iron oxide (FeO, Fe3O4, and Fe2O3) more commonly known as rust. Hence, iron as with most metals is found as Iron oxide and processed into Iron. More facts about iron can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron

Is size of an object a physical change?

The size is not a change. If there is a change in size that could be a physical change, but that depends on why its sized increased. If the sized increased because more material was added or because it was heated, those are examples of a physical change that caused a change in size. If the sized increased because it reacted with some other chemical, making it take up more space, that would be a chemical change that caused the size to change.
