Solving the question about solutions vs mixtures.


This week in our class we are discovering the differences between solutions and mixtures. Which are forms of Matter. These activities will help your child understand the definitions of solvents, solutes, homogenous and heterogenous and a few other terms associated with solutions and mixtures.
Go to the JUNKYARD on this site and have fun creating some junkyard science.


Well now that you have a basic understanding of solutions and mixtures let's go a bit further. Let's mix it up and go to this site to test your word knowledge. We have discussed water as a solvent and the properties of water. Use this site to refresh your understanding. Review Game Zone. Parent's need to help on this one.

How did you do? I know it's harder when you are at home, but push yourself. Now is the time to understand this concept so you can grow in knowledge. OK time to move to the next activity. We are now going to go to the Mixtures Lab and learn about how to separate mixtures. * Take your time and READ the instructions, it makes it more fun.

I thought that was kinda cool. Are you getting it? Remember mixtures retain their own properties and can be separated. Solutions do not. Now try this fun exercise. Science Materials.

You did it, you are done. Great job!
