Lesson Objectives

• Identify elements and compounds.

• Explain how solutions, colloids, and suspensions are related.

• Classify pure substances and mixtures.

Starter
 Substances
• Matter is anything that takes up space
and has mass.
introduction

• A substance is a pure substance that has

a fixed composition.

• A substance can be an element or

compound.
 Substances

• All substances are built from atoms.

introduction

• An element is a substance made up of

atoms that are all alike.

• Copper and nitrogen are examples of

elements.

• There about 90 naturally occurring

elements.
 Substances

• A compound is a substance in which the

introduction

atoms of two or more elements are

chemically combined in a fixed proportion.

• Water and table salt are examples of

compounds.

sugar and water - sand and salt - oil and water.

Independent

• Discussion:
• Identify which mixtures are homogeneous and which are heterogeneous
just by looking at them.
• Then explain your reasoning
 Mystery Mixture Challenge: Identifying Homogeneous and
Starter task Heterogeneous Mixtures (g) 5 min

• Your answers Should include:

• 1. Identifying the Mixtures:
• Sand and Salt: Heterogeneous Mixture
Independent

• Oil and Water: Heterogeneous Mixture

• Sugar and Water: Homogeneous Mixture
• 2. Reasoning:
• Heterogeneous Mixture: The components are not uniformly distributed and can be seen separately (e.g.,
grains of sand in salt, oil floating on water).
• Homogeneous Mixture: The mixture appears uniform throughout, and individual components cannot be
distinguished (e.g., sugar dissolved in water).
 Starter task
Independent Answer the following Questions: (g) 3 min
 Mixtures
• Many salad dressings are mixtures of oil,
vinegar, and seasoning.
introduction

• A mixture is matter composed of two or more

substances that can be separated by physical
means.

• A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which

different materials remain distinct.

• A green salad containing different vegetables is

an example of a heterogeneous mixture.
introduction
 Mixtures
• A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture
made of liquid and solid particles that settle.
introduction

• A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture with

particles that never settle. Paint, milk, fog, and
smoke are examples of colloids.

• A beam of light passes through a solution, but

the light is scattered in a colloid.

• The scattering of a light beam as it passes

through a colloid is call the Tyndall effect.
introduction
 Homogeneous mixtures
• A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that
remains constantly and uniformly mixed and
introduction

has particles that are so small that they

cannot be seen with a microscope.

• Soft drinks that have carbonation are

heterogenous mixtures. Flat soft drinks are
homogeneous mixtures.

• A solution is the same thing as a

homogeneous mixture.
 Homogeneous mixtures
The concept map shows that mixtures can be either
heterogeneous or homogeneous. Pure substances
Guided task
introduction

can be elements or compounds.
