🧪 What is a Mixture?
A mixture happens when you put two or more different things together.
👉 Example:
If you mix rice and beans in a bowl, that’s a mixture!
2. Can we still see the parts?
Yes! In some mixtures, you can still see each part, like pieces of cereal and nuts.
👉
You can even take them apart again using your hands or a spoon.
3. What happens when you mix solids with water?
Some things float, and some things sink.
👉 Try putting paper and a stone in water—
paper floats, but the stone sinks!
And guess what?
You can usually take the solids out of the water again.
👉
That means it’s an easy mixture to separate.
4. Do some things disappear in water?
Yes! Some things dissolve in water.
👉 For example,
when you mix drink powder in water, it disappears and the water changes color and taste. That’s called dissolving.
Once something dissolves,
you can't take it out again.
👉 Like food coloring in water—
it’s gone! You can’t just scoop it out.
5. Do all liquids mix?
Nope! Some liquids do not mix at all.
👉 If you pour oil and water together,
the oil just floats on top. They stay apart!
🎯
Summary:
A mixture is when you
mix things together.
