Key Vocabulary
Heterogeneous Mixture
A mixture can also result in two or more phases clearly separated by boundaries.
Very often, the separation can be clearly seen by the eye. A heterogeneous mixture
is one that does not have uniform properties and composition. Take a look at a bowl
of cereal with nuts. A spoon full will surely have different number of nuts than a
second spoonful taken at random. Another exampletake some sea-sand into your
palms. Look at it closely and you will notice that some sand particles are bigger
than others, and the colors of some particles may be different too. They are NOT
uniform in anyway!
Heterogeneous mixtures include colloids, emulsions or suspensions.
Suspension
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a liquid and a solid. The solid usually
does not dissolve, and can be very visible to the eye. Sometimes the solids are
heavy, and large enough for sedimentation (particles settling down in layers) in the
container holding it. Unlike colloids, regular agitation is needed to keep mixture
fairly mixed.
An example of a suspension is a mixture of sand and water.
Emulsion:
An emulsion is a suspension of a liquid within another liquid. An oil and vinegar
salad dressing is a good example of an emulsion, as is the fat within breast milk.
Butter, margarine and mayonnaise are also good examples of emulsions, as fats
continually surround droplets of water. (oil and water)
Some good characteristics of suspensions are:
Mixtures: are physical

combinations of pure
substances that have no
definite or constant
composition
Composition: the way in

which a whole or mixture
made up.
Suspension- A suspension
is a heterogeneous mixtur
of a liquid and a solid
Emulsion- is a suspension
of a liquid within another
liquid
Colloids- a mixture that is

uniform with the naked ey
but in reality the solute is
not completely dissolved
1. It is cloudy (not as clear as a solutions).

2. It can be filtered.
3. The larger particles settle at the bottom.
4. It is a mixture of two phases.
Colloids
A colloid (also known as colloidal dispersion) may look like a homogenous mixture,
because the mixture looks very uniform. Under a bit of magnification, the solute is
not completely dissolved, and the particles are big enough, making the entire
mixture cloudy.
For exampleMayonnaise is a mixture of egg yolk, vinegar and lemon juice. It is
whisked smoothly to a degree that it feels so smooth, but under a microscope, the
solute is not completely dissolved. Examples of colloids are Milk, Mayonnaise,
Butter, Egg Whites.

Monday
Differentiating
between
Solution,
Emulsion and
Suspension
Objectives- Through experiments and a video students will be able to

1. Differentiate between a solution, suspension, emulsion
2. Record their discoveries on a table
3. Explain what is a solution or colloid and emulsion
4. Place Cooperate with their group members to complete the tasks given
Introduction
Have a quick review of what a mixture is and the different types by

playing pass the paper ball with them
Place the word Mixture on the board
Elicit the two types of Mixtures they learned last class
Materials
3 Dixie cups,3 plastic spoons, salt
black pepper, consume, soy sauce,
melted butter, cool-aid, cooking oil
etc..
Development
Draw children attention on the second type of mixtures
( Heterogeneous mixtures)
Explain to children that Heterogeneous mixtures can include 3
types of mixtures ( suspension, emulsion, colloids)
Present children with a short video explaining the 3 mixtures.

Elicit from children what they understood from the video

Deduce the meaning s for each as class and give an example.( can
be the ones from the video)
Have children get in groups of 4 or 5 and have them conduct mini
experiments.( guide students throughout)
place instructions on the board
they will draw table labelled (emulsion, solution, suspension)
They will do one mixture at a time
they will categorize the mixture as either a suspension, solution or
a emulsion
they will record this in their table
after experiment have students sit together and write what they
discovered
Conclusion
students will be placed in pairs to answer the following questions:
In your own words explain what is a :
emulsion
suspension
solution
Give an example of each
Assessment Strategy
