Curated OER
Ooblek
Students demonstrate the three states of matter. In this matter lesson, students read Bartholomew and the Ooblek. Students create "ooblek" and discuss what state of matter it is.
Curated OER
Mixtures Lab
Students classify different mixtures. In this mixtures lesson plan, students determine samples to be suspensions, colloids, or solutions and compare homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
Curated OER
Mixing in the Kitchen
Students identify the different types of mixtures. They identify examples of solutions, suspensions, colloidal dispersions, and emulsions through a game and basic experiments.
Curated OER
Solutions, Suspensions, and Colloids
In this solutions, suspension, and colloids worksheet, middle schoolers answer questions as it relates to their reading information about solutions, suspensions, and colloids. Students observe different examples and complete a chart as...
Curated OER
Let's Settle It!
Students investigate and record data about sedimentation rates. They make a sedimentation bottle using aquarium gravel, sand and potting soil. They discuss the sedimentation rates that they see in their bottles.
