Ironing a shirt is a physical change, because you're not changing the shirt into something new, you're simply changing it's form-at the end, the shirt is still a shirt. In a physical change, you don't create any new substances-you still end up with what you started with, but perhaps in a different form (For instance, ice turning to water). A chemical change creates new chemical substances.
