Soil Porosity Lab
In this soil porosity worksheet, students experiment with four types of soil. They fill separate cups with each soil type and pour water in measuring the amount it takes to saturate the soil. They make observations and compare their data...
Pingry School
Liquid Chromatography
A hands-on experiment applies chromatography to separate both the colors and components of grape-flavored Kool-Aid. Performing two separate activities, learners first use chromatography to divide the colors. The second activity results...

The Conceptual Theory of Chromatography
High schoolers conduct a lab to determine the best way to separate a variety of mixtures choosing between paper, thin layer and column chromatography. They use chromatography techniques to identify unknown substances and submit a lab...
Curated OER
The Electric Sieve
High schoolers examine different mixtures and how they can be separated. In this electric sieve lesson students complete an activity that allows them to separate mixtures.
Curated OER
Matter and Change
In this matter and change worksheet, students answer 24 questions on topics such as elements, compounds, mixtures and chemical reactions. Students answer questions about the properties of matter such as their physical state and shape. In...

Chapter 16 Review- General Science
In this review of general science learning exercise, students classify examples of matter as mixtures or substances, homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures, or elements or compounds. Students also convert several examples using the...
Curated OER
Chromatography
Young scholars study about chromatography, a process used to separate mixtures.
Curated OER
Solids and Water
Students investigate mixtures made of water and familiar solid materials. They observe and discuss the changes that occur immediately and set the mixtures aside for a day. Finally, students observe the mixtures, note changes, and graph...

Can Chromatography Separate A Pigment?
High schoolers separate a mixture of pigments with ion exchange chromatography and predict whether the ion-exchange matrix is positively or negatively charged based on the type of pigment bonded to the matrix.
Curated OER
The Pure, The Mixture, The Unknown
Ninth graders participate in classroom discussions, demonstrations and hands-on laboratory activities about pure substances and mixtures with a focus on common household materials. They investigate: What is a pure substance? What is a...
Curated OER
Solutions and Suspensions
Students explore matter by conducting an in class demonstration. For this liquid mixture lesson, students identify the difference between a solution in which a solid dissolves into liquid, and a suspension where the solid doesn't...

Chemical Ideas 7.6 - Chromatography
Thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography are introduced in an intelligible presentation. Paper chromatography is also listed as another type of chromatography, but it is not explained. If you are particular about appearances, there are...
Curated OER
Mixtures
Students observe that movement of a solute in the solvent increases the rate of dissolution. They demonstrate that when the solute is broken into smaller pieces it dissolves faster.
Virginia Department of Education
Laboratory Safety and Skills
Avoiding lab safety rules will not give you super powers. The lesson opens with a demonstration of not following safety rules. Then, young chemists practice their lab safety while finding the mass of each item in a mixture and trying to...
Concord Consortium
Oil and Water
If you don't get along with someone, it's said that the two of you are like oil and water. Why is this? Explore the phenomenon and explain the phrase in one resource! Science superstars first observe samples of oil and water together....
Curated OER
Molecular Explorations
Students explain the processes for separating DNA from tissue and separating complex mixtures. In this exploratory lesson students complete a lab where they extract DNA.
Sunlight Cal-Tech
Chromatography of Plant Pigments
Through a hands-on activity, an acetone-spinach solution is pre-made and learners use this solution to separate the pigments found in spinach using chromatography. The comprehensive resource includes an analysis and conclusion questions.
