Summary of Mixture- Any substance made when 2 or more substances are mixed
Content physically (but not combined chemically). This means that at some point it
can be separated into its original components.
There are 2 ways to classify different types of mixtures. Whether or not
the mixture has the composition/consistency throughout. Homogenous
mixtures have the same composition (e.g. milk, mayonnaise, salt-water)
while Heterogeneous mixtures vary (different consistency/composition)
throughout the mixture (e.g. muddy water, soup, milk and sugar)
There are 3 main types of mixtures. They can be identified by the particle
size in the mixture.
Suspension- a heterogeneous mixture with large particles. The particles
are large enough to see and also to settle or be filtered out.
Solution- a homogeneous mixture with tiny particles. The particles are too
small to see, settle or filtered out. E.g. salt water, sugar water
Colloid- a homogeneous mixture with medium-sized particles. The
particles are large enough to see but not large enough to settle or be
filtered out. E.g. mayonnaise, gelatin, whipped cream

Introduction Teacher will ask students types of mixtures that they are familiar with
Development After notes are given, teacher will put random mixtures on the board and have the
students work in
