- Heating ice causes it to melt into water, known as melting, and cooling the water turns it back into solid ice, known as freezing, demonstrating reversible changes in matter.
- Cooking a raw egg turns it from liquid to solid, with the change being irreversible even if it cools down.
- Cutting a piece of paper is an irreversible change as the pieces cannot be turned back into a whole paper.
