Big Ideas
- Matter is conserved—its amount does not change—even when it is combined with other matter to form mixtures.
- Mixtures such as soil and water or oil and water show that substances can be combined without changing the total amount of matter present.
Essential Questions
- What happens to matter when you mix two or more substances together?
- How can we show that the total amount of matter stays the same in a mixture?
- How do mixtures like soil and water or oil and water illustrate the conservation of matter?
- Why is it important to know that matter is conserved when substances are combined?
