Types of Mixtures

YEAR 1 SCIENCE
Note-Taking Expectations
 notes must be written neatly
 letters should not be too BIG!
 write on each line, unless instructed to skip a line
for another section
 have a puke page on standby: if you run out of
room on the first page, then continue writing on the
puke page (glue after the presentation!)
Top of the Page
Your notes should contain the following at the top of
the page:
 The essential question (EQ: What are the different
types of mixtures?)
 The date (7 November 2014) and page #
 The title (Types of Mixtures)
REVIEW
 With your group, write down the answer to the previous EQ (What is
the difference between a substance and mixture?) across from the
previous notes.

Substance: form of matter that cannot be

separated by physical means (element and
compound)
Mixture: form of matter than can be separated by
physical means (homogeneous and heterogeneous)
Solution: a homogenous mixture;
Solution: a homogenous mixture;
one substance (solute) dissolves
inside another (solvent) and never
settles to the bottom;
Solution: a homogenous mixture;
one substance (solute) dissolves
inside another (solvent) and never
settles to the bottom; examples 
salt water, soda, vinegar, gasoline
Sugar + Water =
Sugar Water

Suspension: a heterogeneous
mixture containing liquid and solid
particles;
Suspension: a heterogeneous
mixture containing liquid and solid
particles; particles float (suspend) in
liquid before they settle to bottom
Suspension: a heterogeneous
mixture containing liquid and solid
particles; particles float (suspend) in
liquid before they settle to bottom
examples  Italian dressing,
muddy pond water, chocolate milk

Colloid: similar to heterogeneous AND
homogenous mixtures;
Colloid: similar to heterogeneous AND
homogenous mixtures; contain particles
bigger than those in solutions, but are too
light to settle to the bottom- particles stay
suspended!

examples  milk (water + fat), fog
(water + air), cool whip,
butter

Colloid
Shining a beam of light through a
colloid will make the light scatter-
this is called the Tyndall Effect.
Note Review
highlight in yellow solution, solute, solvent,
suspension, colloid, Tyndall Effect
underline in red the definition of solute, solvent,
Tyndall Effect
circle in blue the examples of solution, suspension,
colloid
Ticket Out the Door (TOTD)
 Determine whether the following is a element (E),
compound (C), homogeneous mixture (HO), or
heterogeneous mixture (HE)

1. Chocolate chip cookie

2. Water (H20)
3. Milk
4. Pile of leaves
5. Oxygen (O2)
