Clay is a term used to describe a group of hydrous aluminum phyllosilicate (phyllosilicates being a subgroup of silicate minerals) minerals , that are typically less than 2 μm (micrometres) in diameter. Clay consists of a variety of phyllosilicate minerals rich in silicon and aluminum oxides and hydroxides which include variable amounts of structural water. Clays are generally formed by the chemical weathering of silicate-bearing rocks by carbonic acid but some are formed by hydrothermal activity. Clays are distinguished from other small particles present in soils such as silt by their small size, flake or layered shape, affinity for water and tendency toward high plasticity.
Pinching is when you get a piece of clay and circle it and put your thumb in the middle like it your were making a thumbot and go round the edges and pulling and pinching out and up. you can also make them flat.
you take a piece of clay and use it on a bucket of water, voila, soft clay.
If clay is a rock
a physical change....? hope that helped a little.
This depends on he melting temperature of the wire that you are using. It also depends on the firing temperature of the clay. If the melting temperature of the wire is higher than the firing temperature of the clay, then wire can be added to a clay piece.
A slab of clay is a flat piece of clay rolled out. With a slab of clay, it is much easier to cut/trace things.

A flat piece of wood is called a board.

Water deposits the clay particles in thin, flat layers.
The key signature of a piece written in F flat major has six flats: B flat, E flat, A flat, D flat, G flat, and C flat.
You have made a physical change to the clay.
If clay is a rock
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
It depends on how long you strecth it because clay an be rolled up to i think i foot!
