Mixing and Dissolving - Chemicals and Chaos

Today in chemicals and chaos we were learning about mixtures and the huge vocabulary of words involved with this subject. We had the pre-test to see what we already knew about mixtures and I got 94% out of 100%. After we did the pre-test we learned a little about it and after that, we did an experiment with sugar and water.

What is a mixture?
A mixture is a substance made by combining different substances together.

What is dissolving?
Dissolving something is when you are making the substance part of the mixture.

How could you speed up dissolving?
You could use hot water, Use a fine powder, or stir it in.
