“Mixtures and Solutions” Unit Study Guide
To study for this unit test, use your science notebook, science textbook, science section of
your binder, graded quizzes, vocabulary list, and watch the teacher prep videos on
http://www.fossweb.com/CA/modules3-6/grade5.html for review.
1. How do you know when a solid and a liquid form a mixture? How do you know
when they form a solution? What is the difference between a mixture and a solution?
Be able to identify and give examples of mixtures and solutions.
2. Know how to read an element model, or compound model. For example: Oxygen is
O2, so the model would look like this… O----O, or Water is H2O, so the model might
look like this… H----O----H.
3. Name two ways how you would know if a chemical reaction has occurred?
4. What is a precipitate? Give an example of a precipitate that occurred from any of our
lab investigations.
5. Know which materials conduct electricity and which conduct heat. What are
“precious” metals?
6. What is a saturated solution? How do you know if a solution is saturated? How
could you make the extra solute dissolve once your solution is completely saturated?
What does it mean when something is supersaturated?
7. What has occurred when two solutions have been mixed together and if the mixture
turns a different color, like white?
8. What is the most abundant element found in the human body? What is the most
abundant molecule found in the human body?
9. What are the most abundant elements found on Earth?
10. What is an alloy? Name some examples of alloys.
11. Describe the three states of matter. How can you separate: 1.) a solid from a solid, 2.)
a solid from a liquid, and 3.) a liquid from a liquid?
12. What are the basic units that all matter is made of? Be able to draw and describe an
atom model (protons and neutrons in the nucleus with electrons orbiting). What tool
was invented recently to see actual atoms?
13. How many elements are found on Earth? What does the atomic number of an element
mean?
14. Know what two ways the periodic table is organized. What were Mendeleyev’s
