A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically

combined. The substances are put together but no new substance is formed. In your activity, you
prepared some mixtures. The first mixture you prepared is a combination of sugar and water. The
next mixture is a combination of flour and water. The last mixture is a combination of sandy soil
and water.
A mixture came in any form maybe solid, liquid, or in gaseous form. Fruit salad, 3-
in-1 coffee powder, chicken breeding and mixed gravel are examples of solid mixtures. Your
fruit juices, hot coffee, hot chocolate drink, and hot milk are liquid mixtures. Air is a gaseous
mixture.
