This book provides young readers with an overview of mixtures and solutions. The text includes a simple overview of mixtures and solutions and examines homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, suspensions and colloids, solubility, saturation, and concentration. Information is explained using real-world examples and supported with graphics and photos.
An introduction to mixtures and solutions that explains how materials mix and includes simple experiments to help readers understand the scientific concepts they are learning.
Offers an introduction into the scientific world of solutions and mixtures, explains the difference between the two, describes unique qualities of each, and encourages exploration to discover examples of both.
"When you mix chocolate and milk together, you're making a mixture. Oatmeal cookies are mixtures, too. But chocolate milk and cookies are different kinds of mixtures. How many different types of cookies can you think of? You already know more about chemistry than you thought!"--Provided by publisher.
Explains what mixtures and solutions are; describes solution strengths, different kinds of mixtures such as suspensions and alloys, and different ways mixtures can be separated, such as decanting and distillation; and includes instructions for several hands-on investigations.
Presents the Standard Deviants approach to learning chemistry, focusing on solutions and dilutions, with discussion of how to change the concentration of a solution, and limiting reagents.
A simple introduction to the process of dissolving a substance in some type of solution, the reasons for doing it and the possible usefulness of the resulting new combination.
