Mixtures and Solutions

7th Grade is working on  their new chapter about cell processes.  One of the main ideas in the first section is the difference between a mixture and a solution. In order to make it more understandable the students did a sing-a-long with Mr. Edmonds on YouTube. He had a fun rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" that explained solutions.  Feel free to sing along with him at: https://youtu.be/3G472AA3SEs Students created their own solutions by using bottled water as the solvent and Jolly Rancher sugar free drink powder as the solute.  They then had to separate mixtures by sorting 7 different types of candy and cake sprinkles into cupcake wrappers.  The lesson ended by the students completing a comprehension worksheet. It was a fun lesson.
