What are mixtures? What are solutions? Learn about what happens when we combine materials with this NGSS-aligned fifth-grade STEM activity!
When we combine substances, sometimes they become a mixture, a combination of two or more substances that aren't chemically joined. Other times, the substances create a solution, two or more substances that are evenly mixed.
For this science investigation, students follow the scientific method to discover what happens when they combine different items.
This STEM challenge aligns with 5th-grade NGSS Physical Science Standards but can be used in 3rd grade - 5th grade.
Amazing resource for STEM club, STEM teachers, elementary librarians, parents who love hands-on learning, and elementary teachers who want to create a hands-on educational environment in their classroom!
