Mixture or Solution?!?

This morning we were introduced to mixtures and solutions and the main difference between the two.   A mixture is a combination of 2 or more types of matter.   A solution is a mixture of 2 or more substances that are evenly distributed.   In a solution, one substance is dissolved into the other.  

An example of a mixture is trailmix; the ingredients can be separated.   An example of a solution is lemonade--once the powder is mixed with water and stirred, we can not "undo" it to separate the parts. 

Ask you child about our other experiments today:
