Mixing in the Kitchen

In this solutions, suspensions and colloids learning exercise, students use diagrams to show how particles are different in each of these mixtures. They also distinguish between characteristics of each of these types of mixtures and...

Here is a different approach to solutions: a worksheet 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 solutions,...

In this solutions instructional activity, students read about the characteristics that define a solution such as the solvent and the solute and the homogeneous mixture. They are given a chart with the differences between solution,...

In this solutions, suspension and colloid worksheet, learners 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...

Examine the properties of colloids and suspensions. A slide show defines each mixture and explains their properties. Pupils learn to identify each mixture and compare them to solutions. 

What's in macaroni salad? Break down the pasta, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, vegetables, etc., and you're left with a bunch of molecules. Josh Kurz uses a delicious recipe to exemplify three types of mixtures (solution, colloid and...

Understand suspensions, colloids, and solutions, and learn the difference between molarity and molality. [13:57]

A discussion of the "other" mixtures, colloids and suspensions. A good overview of these types of mixtures. It also provides a table of the properties of colloids.

A video lecture discussing the properties of homogeneous mixtures and how to distinguish between the different types. Understand that homogeneous mixtures that have large particles that eventually settle to the bottom are known as a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students expand their study of mixtures to show that solids and gases can also act as solvents. Additionally, they take a look at situations in which...
