Step into the exciting world of chemistry in everyday life with this hands-on 5th-grade simulation! Students will explore the properties of mixtures and solutions by investigating which materials dissolve in water and which remain separate. Through interactive experiments, they’ll test variables that affect solubility—like temperature, stirring, and particle size—while developing key observation and problem-solving skills.
What’s Inside:
A complete lesson + simulation plan aligned with SC.5.P.8.2 & SC.5.P.8.3
Hands-on experiments with common household materials
Critical-thinking challenges on dissolving rates and mixture properties
Reflection prompts to connect learning to real-world examples (like cooking, pollution, and everyday solutions)
Why It Helps:
Builds a deep understanding of mixtures and solutions
Strengthens experimental design and data analysis skills
Encourages curiosity, observation, and scientific thinking
Perfect for gifted learners, science labs, or at-home STEM enrichment
