Weekly Reflections: What did you learn in class this week? How does it connect or relate to your life? Post answers on BLOG.
This week, I learned about mixtures, substances and compounds. Substances are matter that have the same composition and properties throughout. Compounds are substances whose smallest unit is made up of atoms of more than one element bonded together. Mixtures are a combination of two or more substances where there is no chemical combination of reaction. This connects to my life because I use a lot of mixtures, substances and compounds daily; sometimes without even realizing it, like water, which is a compound.
ReplyDeleteThis week in class we learned about mixtures, compounds, and substances. This was very confusing for me and still is a little. Mixtures are combinations of two or more compounds mixed together. substances are objects that are the same throughout. A compound is a combination of two or more elements. This relates to my life because i love to cook. I use mixtures all the time when cooking. For example, cake, which is a mixture of things like water, flour, eggs, and etc.
ReplyDeleteThis week I learned about mixtures, and what they are made of. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances. Some mixtures, can be taken apart, such as a heterogeneous mixture, or their mixtures, however, can not be physically taken apart, such as a homogeneous mixture. We had also learned about solutions, which are homogeneous mixtures, with two parts. The first part is the solute, which is the one that dissolves, and the solvent, does the dissolving. Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures in which have visible pieces that settle within the mixture, for example, air has dust Particles floating in it, which makes it a suspension. This relates to real life because I never knew the scientific terms in which what I mix while cooking were called, and relating it to other scenarios, like raking the leaves out of the grass is a heterogeneous mixture, when they were together, and when I physically seperated the two substances, it was no longer a mixture.
