This teaching unit explores making mixtures and separating components. 

Students explore and create different combinations of mixtures of solids and liquids. They identify different everyday mixtures found in the school and home, and explain the benefits and purposes of particular mixtures.

Students apply their new learning by planning and conducting investigations about how to separate a mixture of solids and what different black inks are made of.
