Exploring Mixtures vs New Substances Worksheet Pack
Help your 5th and 6th-graders build a deep understanding of mixtures, solutions, and new substances with this Mixtures vs New Substances Worksheet pack. These worksheets are designed to help young scientists explore the idea that some materials retain their original properties when combined to form mixtures or solutions, while others undergo chemical changes and become entirely new substances.
Perfect for reinforcing key 5th and 6th grade science standards, this Mixtures vs New Substances Worksheet Pack gives students several opportunities to compare, classify, and explain what happens when different materials are combined.
A Variety of Mixtures, Solutions, and New Substances Worksheets
This pack includes a wide range of worksheet styles to help students explore how materials behave when mixed. The following Mixtures, Solutions, and New Substances Worksheets are included:
- Mixtures vs. New Substances Worksheet – Students will examine a group of substances being mixed and determine whether the mixture remains or a new substance is formed. Then they will determine whether the change was physical or chemical. Finally, students will explain their thinking.
- Analyze and Explain Mixtures & New Substances Worksheet – Students will read a short scenario, then determine if a mixture or new substance is formed and explain their thinking.
- Mixture vs Solution Sort – Students will cut out images of a variety of mixtures and solutions, then sort them into two categories.
