Types of Mixtures
About the game
The game introduces types of mixtures by classifying items as homogeneous or heterogeneous with everyday examples in science lessons.
Grades: 7 and 8 in middle school.
Time: about 15–20 minutes for the activity.
Skills you will learn: Students learn to differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures effectively. Additionally, students understand the differences among solutions, colloids, and suspensions.
Teachers note: Students practice distinguishing between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. They identify solutions, colloids, and suspensions based on characteristics. This 15–20 minute activity can be done in class or as homework.
How to play
Level 1 : Click and drag examples of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures into their individual shelves.
Level 2: Match mixture type with its example.
Level 3 : Select two examples of solution/colloid/suspension out of mixture bottles placed on the shelves.
Level 4: Select a mixture bottle whose contents have the characteristic property asked in the question.
