In a chemical change chemical properties often change (like a substance's melting point or it's reactivity). In a physical change the materials have the same properties (a physical change would be like crushing rocks into sand). You can take wood, grind it into saw dust, but it is still wood. But if you burn it, the wood goes through a chemical change with the oxygen in the air and most of it is broken down into a gas (smoke) and the solid of which is left behind has a very different flammability property. (Suit, it doesn't burn.)
