Intro:
Mixtures and solutions are all around us. Sometimes we tend to think of
mixtures and solutions as only existing in science labs but, most of our
world is made up of mixtures. The oceans we swim are a saltwater
solution. The foods we eat are often a combination or mixture of different
ingredients.
Vocab:
Mixture- is a mixture of 2 or more substances that do not mix evenly and
each substance keeps its own physical properties.
“Two or more substances are combined, they do not lose their identifying
characteristics. These substances are called mixtures. Examples of
mixtures include soil, concrete, and a mud puddle.” (From 2018 Virginia
Science Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework)
