Heterogeneous Mixture Teacher Resources

In this solutions, suspension and colloid worksheet, students complete a lab experiment in order to determine if a given mixture is a solution, suspension or colloid. They are given six vials and they record their observations of each...

Steel is an example of homogeneous mixture, also called an alloy, which is made of iron and carbon. The presentation introduces learners to elements, compounds, and mixtures. They explore their similarities and differences, and then take...

In this classification of matter worksheet, students answer 15 questions about solids, liquids and gases, types of mixtures and compounds vs. elements. They also answer 2 questions about measurement and 1 question about a biome.

Students identify the different types of mixtures. They identify examples of solutions, suspensions, colloidal dispersions, and emulsions through a game and basic experiments.

Students compare and contrast the properties of substances and mixtures. In this chemistry lesson, students simulate spontaneous mixing by performing a short class activity. They differentiate heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures.

In this matter and change worksheet, students answer 24 questions on topics such as elements, compounds, mixtures and chemical reactions. Students answer questions about the properties of matter such as their physical state and shape. In...

In this classification of matter worksheet, students answer 5 questions about the composition of matter, solutions, colloids and suspensions, and the properties and changes of matter.

In this matter worksheet, students compare the different types of matter, including the states of matter. Students review the metric system. This worksheet has 12 matching, 18 fill in the blank, and 4 short answer questions.

In this solutions, suspension, and colloids worksheet, middle schoolers answer questions as it relates to their reading information about solutions, suspensions, and colloids. Students observe different examples and complete a chart as...

Students analyze and classify substances.  In this classifying matter lesson, students look at various substances and identify them as heterogeneous or homogeneous mixtures, pure substances, or solutions.  Students bring...

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students calculate the equilibrium constant for given reactions. Students decide if reactions are homogeneous or heterogeneous and if the equilibrium favors reactants or products. This worksheet has...

In this water activity, students review the properties of water including the density, boiling point, and evaporation. Students define mixture, solute, and solvent. This activity has 22 short answer questions.

What's the matter? Gas, solid, liquid, or plasma. The presentation covers how to describe and identify matter, changes in matter, types of matter, measuring matter, particles of matter, Democritus, and John Dalton's Atomic Theory.

Students identify the components of cooperative learning and plan a lesson using what they have learned.

Tidy slides and lecture notes for each are included in this presentation on alloys. Instruction begins with the molecular arrangement of a pure element, gold, and progresses to a few example alloys: brass, steel, and nitinol. This...

An extremely thorough presentation walks new chemists through the basics of matter. There really isn't a unifying theme, however So many topics are covered: forces, elements, atomic structure, chemical properties, compounds, quarks,...

Roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty with this elementary and middle school compost lesson. All you need is a large plastic container, a couple old newspapers, some organic waste, and a few hundred worms and you're ready...

Learners describe the history of materials. They use the kinetic (particle) theory to explain changes of state in matter and trace the flow of heat during changes of state and chemical changes.

Students explore concrete. In this physical science and computer research lesson, students work in groups to answer specific  questions about concrete. Each group of students completes a different worksheet with a specific subtopic....

Students explore vermicomposting, the species of worms needed and the proper climate for it.  In this composting lesson students make their own worm compost bin. 

Le Chatelier's interest in thermodynamics and building materials such as cement and plaster led to the Le Chatelier Principle in 1884. Activity 13 in a series of 36 extensively explores chemical equilibrium. Learners read about...

In this nuclear reaction worksheet, students determine the missing particle from the reaction and then name that particle. This worksheet has 18 problems to solve.

In this chemistry practice worksheet, students solve sixteen problems including identifying chemical and physical changes, calculating numbers with significant figures, naming compounds and writing formulas and converting from one unit...

Students are introduced to the elements on the Periodic Table and what is meant by element. Using the Table, they identify the name, atomic mass, number and symbol of each element. To end the lesson plan, they discover the...
