Lesson 2 Activity

This document contains the procedures and questions for an activity to differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures. Students will observe water, a sugar-water solution, a salt-water solution, and a sand-water mixture and answer questions about whether each is an element, compound, or mixture based on how the substances interact with each other. They will then transfer the sand-water mixture to a new cup, label it as mixture B, and answer questions about separating the components of mixture B.
