How can you tell that a burning piece of wood is chemical change?

Because you can't put it back together. Imagine burning a piece of paper, there is no way that you can get that piece of paper back. Burning that piece of paper was a chemical change because you changed the chemical properties of the paper. Crumpling or cutting the paper doesn't change the molecular structure of the paper, so it is a physical change.
