Chemical mixtures
yes,
the steel one
If you have a mixture of a

substance (such as sand) you
would separate the sand from
the salt solution by ………
filtration
To separate pure water from
a salt solution you would need
to use the process of ………
distillation

coloured dissolved substances
out of a solution. What
technique should I use?
chromatography
Joli says that the following
are all mixtures. Is she
correct?
Air, sea water and granite.
Yes, they are all mixtures
(most rocks are mixtures,
sea water is mostly a
mixture of pure water and
salts, and air is a mixture
of gases)
Mixtures can be separated
by ……… means but compounds
can only be separated
chemically.
physical
I have a mixture of copper,
aluminium and steel screws; could
I separate one type of screw from
the others by magnetism? If you
think the answer is yes then which
type of screw can be separated?

Chemical changes
sulfur oxide
(usually sulfur
dioxide)
If a substance that is made
of carbon and hydrogen burns
in oxygen an ……… and ………
are made
water and
carbon dioxide
When an element burns in
oxygen an …… will be made
oxide
When an element burns the
new substance’s mass
will be ……
greater than the
element (because the
oxygen’s mass is
combined with the
element)
An oxide changes from white to
yellow when heated. It changes
back to white when cooled
and does not change in mass.
This is an example of a ………

I have a piece of granite from
Dartmoor and it has very big
crystals. I know that the
granite must have
cooled …… ………
very slowly
I have a rock that is made of very
small crystals and another that has
much bigger crystals. One cooled near
the surface of the earth and the
other cooled at a deeper level. Which
rock cooled near the surface?
The one with very
small crystals
I have a rock that is made of very
small crystals and another that has
much bigger crystals. One cooled
more slowly than the other. Which
rock cooled more slowly?
The one with the
bigger crystals
I have a rock that is made of
crystals all pointing in the same
direction. The rock has bands of
lighter and darker crystals. It is
most likely to be a type of ………. rock.

forces
When rocks are broken down
in their place we call the process ………
weathering
Erosion is the process by
which ………
rocks are broken and
moved under gravity, by
colliding with other rocks
or by the movement of
water, air and ice.
Weathering can be caused
by heating and cooling that
makes rocks ……… and ………
expand
A glacier moves over rocks
and grinds them down. The
rocks have been ………
contract
eroded
Some water is trapped in a crack
in a rock. The water freezes and ice
crystals grow and force the crack
wider. The ice then melts and a
small piece of rock breaks off. The
rock has been ………
weathered
When a rock is weathered it
is the ……… exerted (made) by
the processes that break up
the rock.

The main groups into which

………
……… ………
igneous
metamorphic
sedimentary
Sedimentary rocks are formed
from other rocks that have
been weathered, eroded,
transported and then ………
deposited
compacted
and cemented
Which of the following rocks
would be most affected by
acid rain: limestone, granite
or slate?
limestone (This is
because carbonate in
the stone reacts with the
acid in the rain and so
the rock crumbles.)
Which of the following rocks
is igneous and is made of
crystals that point in different
directions: limestone, granite
or slate?
granite
Which of the following rocks
is metamorphic with all the
crystals in one direction that
makes it split easily: limestone,
granite or slate?
slate
When rocks melt they form a liquid.
This liquid contains many different
types of chemical compounds. When
the liquid rock cools each chemical will
form ……… which you can see

True. (Weathering is
when rocks are broken
down in place. Erosion is
when weathered material
is moved away.)
Sedimentary rocks can be changed into
metamorphic or igneous rocks. Igneous rocks
can be changed to metamorphic or sedimentary
rocks. Metamorphic rocks can be changed into
igneous or sedimentary rocks. What is missing
from these stages in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary rocks can be
changed into other sedimentary
rocks. Igneous rocks can change to
other igneous rocks. Metamorphic
rocks can be changed to other
metamorphic rocks.
Molten rock is pushed out
of a volcano and this liquid
rock and the cooled solid rock
is called ………
lava
True or false? The remains of
plants 280 million years old
found in rock are a type of
fossil.
True
True or false? A volcano is the
only place where igneous rocks
can be made.
False. (For example,
liquid rocks can cool
deep underground,
forming solid granites.)
True or false? Fossils can
only be found in sedimentary
rocks.
False. (They can also
be found in some
metamorphic rocks.)
True or false? Weathering is
a different process from
erosion.
