Ya Gotta Keep em' Separated
Explore mixtures and solutions by experimenting with particles of different sizes.
Grade Level: Grades 5 - 8
Discipline: Earth Science
Standards: Physical Science Matter and Its Interactions
1. Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
2. Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
3. Make and communicate observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
4. Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results
in new substances.
5. Interpret and analyze data to make decisions about how to utilize materials based on their properties.
With this hands-on activity, students will be able to understand what a mixture is by experimenting with different sized particulate and seeing what it takes to separate them.
