Mixtures and Substances - Physical Properties of Matter
Physical Science 1.1 - Mixtures of substances can be separated based on their properties such as solubility, boiling points, magnetic properties, and densities. (Colorado Department of Education, 2009)
Before beginning this unit, respond to this question:
What would earth be like if we were unable to separate or classify the matter that makes up a substance or mixture?
Please add any artifact that you believe would answer the unit questions. Suggestions for artifacts are: images from labs or your textbook, clips from your notebook, sound clips with your reflections, digital stories created during this unit, really anything that demonstrates that you understand how to answer the question. Be creative and have fun! Show what you know!
How do you separate a mixture based on the physical properties of its matter? (SC.09-GR.7-S.1-GLE.1-EO.a;IQ.1)
Which properties (i.e. boiling point, density, physical size, solubility, and magnetic properties) are most useful in classifying mixtures of substances? (SC.09-GR.7-S.1-GLE.1-EO.a;IQ.2)
When is it useful to separate mixtures? When is it detrimental to separate mixtures? (SC09-GR.7-S.1-GLE.1-EO.a)
How much difference must there be among the properties of substances for the properties to be useful in separating the substances? (SC.09-GR.7-S.1-GLE.1-EO.a; IQ.3)
At the end of this unit, respond to this question:
How has my thinking changed about the usefulness of separating mixtures since beginning this unit?
