Compounds and Mixtures "Mini" Labs - Set of 2
By Brittany Henderson
2 "mini" labs that will help students observe and make connections to compounds and mixtures. The first introduces students to the concept of mixtures. The second shows the concept that not all liquids act alike so conclusions can be drawn about how materials interact when put together.
These short activities reinforce or introduce concepts to students. I call these activities “mini labs” because they are simple activities that do not take the whole class period. They are also activities that are safe for use in the classroom and do not have to be done in a lab or with any specialty equipment or materials. I often use these demonstrations to lead into new content, that way as we cover material I can refer back to the things that my students have experienced first hand.
Distance learning or need a digital copy to assign?
Three Forms of Use Included
Materials Needed
Mixed Substances Mini Lab
Materials Needed:
Cup
Cornstarch
Water
Stir stick or Spoon
Oil and Water Mini Lab
Materials Needed:
Food Coloring
Water
Jar with a lid (baby food jars are great for this)
