Types of Change

Essential Question: Why is change difficult, but necessary, to experience, and how do people move past those changes in life?

CHANGE

Everyone goes through change. Without change, we cannot grow as a person.

There are three different types of change. On the next few slides you will learn about each type.

Physical Change

• This is the most common change to experience.

• Physical change is when your body goes through a change, a transition.

• It can be growing up, your hair getting longer, getting older, etc. Your physical appearance is what is changing.
