Science Big Ideas!! Pure Substances and Mixtures

1. There are different ways to separate solutions. For example, you can use evaporation to separate a liquid from a solid, or you could use distillation to separate a liquid and a liquid (LH).

2. A Solution is a mixture that you cannot see all the different parts (JE)

3. An example of a solution would be water. It has different particles but you cannot see them (JE)

4. An example of a solution would be blood because there's many different particles but it all looks like just one particle. {EB}

5. Chocolate chip cookies are certainly a mechanical mixture because you can clearly see the different particles, aka chocolate. {EB}

6. An mechanical mixture is a mixture where you can see the different substances. An example would be an omelet since you can see the different "particles" that form it (LH).
