Tyndall Effect 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...

Students classify mixtures as solution or colloids by virtue of the Tyndall Effect. They make a cone and tape to fit over the lens of the flashlight. They turn out the lights in the room and shine the flash light at each of the jars and...

Details about matter and how it is classified are included here. The slides, with differences about homogenous and heterogeneous mixtures, have diagrams to support the definitions and your class will appreciate the summaries to assist...

For this mixtures pre-lab worksheet, students compare and contrast suspensions and colloids and solutions and colloids. Students describe the Tyndall effect. This worksheet has 10 short answer questions.

Students classify different mixtures. In this mixtures lesson plan, students determine samples to be suspensions, colloids, or solutions and compare homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

In this water testing pre-lab activity, students describe positive ions, precipitate, and the Tyndall effect. This activity has 14 short answer questions.

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

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

Students use observation skills in assessing the water quality of water samples in this activity and learn that the tastes and preferences of others can be different.

Examine the properties of colloids and suspensions. A slide show defines each mixture and explains their properties. Pupils learn to identify each mixture and compare them to solutions. 

In this electrolytes worksheet, students calculate percent composition, determine the electrical conduction of electrolytes, and explain the Tyndall effect. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

In this solutions, suspensions and colloids instructional activity, students use diagrams to show how particles are different in each of these mixtures. They also distinguish between characteristics of each of these types of mixtures and...

In this solutions learning exercise, students read about solutions, solutes, and solvents. Students compare solutions with mixtures that are not solutions. Then students complete 10 fill in the blank, 12 matching questions, and 10 terms...

In this solutions worksheet, students read about the characteristics that define a solution such as the solvent and the solute and the homogeneous mixture. They are given a chart with the differences between solution, colloids and...

Learners identify the characteristics and composition of emulsions. In this chemistry instructional activity, students classify household products according to emulsion type. They explain how to make the best emulsion.

Students experiment with common household products to determine the properties of emulsions and how they fit into the classifications of matter through this series of lessons.

Explains what the Tyndall Effect is and uses a diagram to model its impact on two different mixtures. Includes causes, examples, a look at suspensions and solutions, and an experiment to try.

An excellent site for learning about colloids. Content includes an explanation of what colloids are, types of colloids, how colloids are formed, properties of colloids, the Tyndall Effect, and examples of colloids.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will describe the properties of a suspension and a colloid and distinguish from a solution or a suspension.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Defines colloid, properties of colloids, and explains types of colloids.

An in-depth look at solutions and their properties. Includes practice problems for calculating solution concentration.

Tyndall was a natural philosopher and known for the Tyndall effect.
