Mixtures and Solutions

This week we started a new science unit - Mixtures and Solutions. In this unit students will experiment with a variety of materials to see how they combine together. Throughout the unit we are also focusing on making detailed observations, keeping organized notes, making predictions and recording our outcomes. We began by combing a variety of fruits to make our first mixture!

We followed this up by experimenting to see if combining gravel, salt and diatomaceous earth with water would also create a mixture. In the coming weeks we will explore the separation of mixtures, the process of saturation, and chemical reactions.
