Matter Concept Map
Name: _______________________________________________ Period: _____ Date: _______
Chemists study many thousands of natural substances from the earth's crust, the
atmosphere, and the oceans, as well as synthetic substances produced in their laboratories. In
order to simplify the task of learning about all of these different materials, scientists have
developed classification schemes.
In this activity you will create a concept map that diagrams the relationships among the
following ideas:
 Oil & Water
 Suspension
 Matter
 Compound
 Heterogeneous
 Alloy
 Milk
 Homogeneous
 Solution
 Mixture
 Nitrogen
 Sodium Chloride
 Element
 Colloid
 Salt Water
 Pure Substance
