On Wednesday, May 22nd and 23rd, I did science activities with my science group. We decided to split up into twos. My partner (Alba) and I started our first activity. Our fisrt activity was called “Create It!”. We got a cup of beads and we sorted the beads by color. We name the physical properties of the beads on a piece of paper. Then, we mixed them back together. The next step is to write if the physical properties were different. Alba and I thought that the physical properties were the same because they’re still the same beads, but they’re just mixed together.

Next, we did an activity called, “Match It!”. We got cards and flipped all of them over. Each card either says a definition or a word on it. If you match the definition and the word, you write the word and the definition on a piece of paper, to keep track of what the word is and what it means.

Then we did an activity called, “Sort It!”. There were three columns that said, “Mixtures, Solutions, and Compounds. We got a several amount of cards and we had to sort them out and put them in the right columns. Then, we wrote what is the similarity between mixtures, solutions, and compounds.

the last activity we did was called, “Explain It!”. There was a recipe for lemonade and we wrote our observations from the information the recipe gave us. We wrote that the water and lemon juice is the solvent and the sugar is the solute, because the sugar dissolves in the water and the lemon juice.

In these three activities, I learned a lot about what mixtures, solutions, and compounds are. I really enjoyed these activities, and can’t wait to do more activities and experiments in science!
