Hello Readers

Lately in science class we have been doing a unit on solutions and mixtures.

4 different types of mixtures and solutions are:

Heterogeneous Mixture (Mechanical Mixtures): you can see all the substances that are mixed into it.

For example, a granola bar is a heterogeneous mixture, and birdseed is another form of heterogeneous mixture.

Homogeneous Mixture (solutions): can’t see the different substances. It looks and feels as if it is only made from one substance.

For example, water or drink mixtures like Kool-Aid are homogeneous mixtures.

Saturated Solutions: is a solution with all the spaces in between the particles filled.

For example: when you mix Kool-Aid and some of the crystals float to the bottom that means all the spaces are filled and it is a saturated solution.

 <– The spaces were fill and the Kool-Aid crystals sank to the bottom.

Unsaturated Solutions: is a solution that has unfilled spaces.

For example, when you mix kool-aid and all of the crystals mix in, it still has unfilled spaces and it is a unsaturated solution.

 <– All the crystals are mixed in.
