HMH Unit 2.2 Day Three pgs 114-117

Imagine you are making a drink from a mix. You add water to a pitcher and then add a packet of flavor crystals. You take a spoon and stir everything together. Other than a tasty drink, what have you made?

Adding these things together formed something called a mixture.

A mixture is a combination of two or more different substances in which the substances keep their identities.

If you sipped the drink you mixed, you would taste the flavor that was added to the water.

In a mixture, each part keep sits own properties.

Have you ever accidentally swallowed some ocean water?

If so, then you have tasted a mixture-water and salt.

Mixtures can often be separated. If you leave a dish of ocean water out in the sun, the water evaporates, and a small pile of salt remains.
