Mixtures

KS2 Science lessons give pupils a chance to make interesting mixtures of various substances - and to take on the challenge of separating them! All of this is done in experiments which investigate solvents, solutes and suspensions. This quiz is all about mixtures and how to go about separating them.

Mixtures involve putting two or more substances together. Nursery children seem to love nothing as much as they love mixing. Mixing flour with raisins, sand with water, or pasta with rice: you will always find little children mixing different materials. Separating, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be as much fun - especially when all the different bricks have been mixed together! But young children don't have all the fun - mixing substances and then trying to separate them can be an enjoyable challenge for you as well - and even for adults.
