Check out your child in action! Use the shared link to see a Parent Peek into our science lab… Today we started to explore mixtures and solutions. I have included some questions for you to ask your child to review the learning today. I left them with the question, “how can we possibly remove the salt from the water?” …Something else to discuss this evening!
Students make three mixtures of solid materials (salt, gravel, and diatomaceous earth) and water. After they observe the mixtures, they attempt to separate them with screens and filters. They discover that water and salt make a special kind of mixture—a solution—that cannot be separated with a filter. The focus question is How can a mixture be separated?
