mixture. Mixtures are not chemically combined while solutions are completely mixed together
but can be easily separated. Both mixtures and solutions have characteristics identifiable with
separation methods.
Objectives:
Students will be able to construct their own definitions of mixture and solution
and provide examples, noting obvious differences.
Students will be able to perform several separation methods including sifting,
floatation, and evaporation.
Students will be able to choose which separation method is appropriate for
various mixtures and solutions.
Assessment:
I will look at student generated definitions of mixture and solution. Students need to
mention that mixtures retain their properties and are still separate substances.
Solutions contain completely mixed substances that cannot be distinguished.
I will observe students ability to separate mixtures using a coffee filter.
I will observe students ability to separate mixtures using the evaporation method.
Students will be provided with examples of mixtures and solutions in worksheet form
and need to identify which method is most practical.
