Classifying Matter

This document provides a worksheet to classify different materials as either pure substances or mixtures. If a material is a pure substance, it is further classified as an element or compound. If it is a mixture, it is classified as either a homogeneous solution or a heterogeneous mechanical mixture. The document then lists various materials and mixtures and asks the student to classify them in the appropriate columns. It also asks the student to classify various statements as either a mechanical mixture, suspension, colloid or solution.
