Here is a different approach to solutions: a learning exercise that has chemistry learners use words to describe them! This is an outstanding exercise that will stretch learners to show what they know. They answer questions comparing...

In a neat and straightforward manner, this PowerPoint delivers basic introductory information on the properties of matter, physical and chemical changes, and pure substances vs. mixtures. It also defines the states of matter. For some...

Middle school scientists compare and contrast heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. They differentiate solutions, colloids, and suspensions by examining samples of each. Note that the bulk of the lesson plan directs you how to...

There is not much information in this presentation. It serves more as a guide to direct the flow of your introductory chemistry lecture. Each slide displays a large title and a smaller phrase meant to explain it. For example, one title...

A simple introduction to solutions, colloids, and suspensions is available in the first few slides. Most of the remaining slides are dedicated to osmosis. While the slides themselves are organized and educational, the topics of solutions...

Students examine various polymers. In this polymers activity, students perform three experiments with polymers to identify them and observe their interesting properties.

Learners classify different mixtures. In this mixtures lesson plan, students determine samples to be suspensions, colloids, or solutions and compare homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

For this solutions, suspension and colloid worksheet, students complete a lab experiment in order to determine if a given mixture is a solution, suspension or colloid. They are given six vials and they record their observations of each...

Sixth graders experiment with mixtures. For this chemistry lesson, 6th graders determine which mixtures are considered heterogeneous, a suspension, a solution or a colloid. Students create a data sheet of what they discover.

In this electrolytes worksheet, students calculate percent composition, determine the electrical conduction of electrolytes, and explain the Tyndall effect. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

In this classification of changes worksheet, students identify each example as either chemical or physical changes. Students also classify other examples as either element, compound, solution, colloid, or suspensions. In the other...

In this solutions, suspension, and colloids worksheet, students answer questions as it relates to their reading information about solutions, suspensions, and colloids. Students observe different examples and complete a chart as they...

Students discover how paint is made, then create their own paint which they will use to create a picture. After witnessing the processes of emulsion and suspension, students work in groups to create their own paint, and then create...

In this mixtures pre-lab learning exercise, students compare and contrast suspensions and colloids and solutions and colloids. Students describe the Tyndall effect. This learning exercise has 10 short answer questions.
