By Skyler S.

Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 10 to 15 minute introduction before a hands-on science activity, such as mixing water and sugar or sorting objects, so students connect each word to something they can see.
- Discussion question: "Can you think of something at home that is a mixture? What two or more things are mixed together?"
- Scaffold for struggling readers: read each definition aloud, point to the picture, and have students repeat the word and a short phrase together before writing.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to draw their own example for one term and explain why it fits the definition.
- Estimated time: about 15 minutes for the full page, plus optional discussion time.
