Science Lab #3: Pure Substances & Mixtures pg.20-21
Context:
·
Pure substances like table sugar or salt and
aluminum are matter that contain only 1 particle.
·
Mixtures like juice, cookies and steel are
matter that contain 2+ particles.
·
Many mixtures we use on a daily basis (i.e.
cleaners, batteries, lights, paints) contain hazardous pure substances that are
harmful to us and the environment; as such, they must be disposed of at a
designated facility – not the garbage can.
Purpose:
We will conduct an experiment to test a sample of matter
to determine whether or not it is a pure substance containing only 1 particle.
Hypothesis:
If we mark a strip of filter paper with a water-soluble
black marker and expose it very close to water, then we think… because…
Observations:
Procedure:
|
What
we see happening:
|
Exposure
to water after 1 min.
|
|
Exposure
to water after 5 mins.
|
Analysis:
Is the ink in a black marker a pure substance or a
mixture?
What evidence supports this conclusion?
Conclusion:
What did you learn about the common products we all use
on a daily basis?

Part of collaborating on a team task is to share and
build knowledge together and to use that know-how to create and share an artefact
for others to use and comment on.
Keeping this in mind, your goal is to create a how-to YouTube video that
explains (using a combination of oral and visual aids) how to either add,
subtract, multiply or divide mixed fractions in an easy-to-follow format for
the typical intermediate student.
Tips & success criteria:
·
Your goal is to support and clarify a concept
·
Refer to our many corrected examples and
select any 1
·
Watch related videos for ideas then add your
own twist
·
Draft a script aimed at a target audience
·
Engage audience - create a hook to interest
·
Focus on skilled communication: logical, step-by-step,
understandable
·
No faces - clear voice(s), words, pictures,
numbers, digital/handwritten
·
Should you decide to use MovieMaker, you will
need to save your file as a .wmv file to upload to www.youtube.com/stsimongr7
