Mixtures


Third grade works together to learn about mixtures. In this experiment, we are using birdseed as our mixture.

·         Mixtures are formed when two or more materials are combined.
·         The observable properties of materials may stay the same even when materials are mixed together.
·         Mixtures can be separated based on the properties of the individual materials.
·         Examples of mixtures include gravel and sand and metal and plastic paper clips.
·         The materials of mixtures may be visible as when sand is mixed in water.
·         The materials of mixtures may not be visible as when sugar is mixed in water.
