Are you mixed up with science? Looking for solutions? Need to solve them? Using fun videos, lots of online sources, useful experiments, and oobleck, learn about mixtures, solutions, and suspensions!
It’s like oil and water…
You encounter mixtures and solutions all the time.
You may notice and you may not. The salad you ate for dinner is a mixture. The toys you piled in a toy box are a mixture. The lemonade you drank at lunch is a solution.
What is the difference between a mixture and a solution? Time to find out!
In this lesson, you will explore mixtures and solutions using a fact-filled video, online resources, and mixed-up activities and projects.
Watch The Great Picnic Mix Up: Crash Course Kids #19.1 (below) to learn about mixtures and solutions. Pause the video to take notes using the Mixtures and Solutions - Notes, found in Downloadable Resources in the right-hand sidebar. There are questions to guide you in your note-taking as you progress through the video:
Review your notes from the video, then continue on to the Got It? section for some hands-on practice!
