What educators are saying

Students love this resource. A great visual-aide. Hands on for the students is a great way for them to relate real world and life skills as well. Students were engaged. Love this resource!!!!!!!!!!
As my grade 9s love food, this was an excellent way to engage them and get to the learning. This is an activity they often referred back to throughout our unit.

Description

Mixtures and solutions activities - Your students will love this hands-on experience to help them learn about the science concepts related to mixtures and solutions.

With a focus on developing science vocabulary, these activities have students explore mixtures and solutions to develop a deeper understanding. Students have fun making their own unique mixture, leaving them with a memorable experience that helps the concepts stick.

Product Contents

Standards

NGSS5-PS1-3
Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. Examples of materials to be identified could include baking soda and other powders, metals, minerals, and liquids. Examples of properties could include color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility; density is not intended as an identifiable property. Assessment does not include density or distinguishing mass and weight.
NGSS5-PS1-4
Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
NGSS5-PS1-2
Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved. Examples of reactions or changes could include phase changes, dissolving, and mixing that forms new substances. Assessment does not include distinguishing mass and weight.
NGSSMS-PS1-2
Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. Examples of reactions could include burning sugar or steel wool, fat reacting with sodium hydroxide, and mixing zinc with hydrogen chloride. Assessment is limited to analysis of the following properties: density, melting point, boiling point, solubility, flammability, and odor.
NGSS5-PS1-1
Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Examples of evidence could include adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water. Assessment does not include the atomic-scale mechanism of evaporation and condensation or defining the unseen particles.
