substances, look back at your answers from the beginning of the lesson. Then categorize
each matter example as either a mixture or a pure substance.
 If you choose a mixture, designate it as either homogenous or heterogeneous.
 If you choose homogenous, designate it as a solution.
 If you choose heterogeneous, designate it as either a colloid or a suspension.
 If you think the matter is a pure substance, decide whether it is a compound or an
element.
