- I can describe the characteristics that differentiate pure substances from mixtures. #dok1
Big Ideas
- Matter can be classified based on its physical properties and how those properties are used to identify pure substances and mixtures.
- Evidence from the investigation of physical properties helps us distinguish between different types of matter.
Essential Questions
- What physical properties help us identify and classify different kinds of matter?
- How can you tell the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?
- What is the difference between a homogeneous mixture (solution) and a heterogeneous mixture?
- How do investigations of physical properties provide evidence for classifying matter?
- Why is it important to understand what type of matter you are working with in everyday life?
