RATIONALE

In today’s classrooms, educational ped-agogy is often founded on Benjamin S.Bloom’s “Six Levels of CognitiveComplexity.” The practical applicationof Bloom’s Taxonomy is to evaluate stu-dents’ thinking skills on these levels,from the simple to the complex:Knowledge (rote memory skills),Comprehension (the ability to relate orretell), Application (the ability to applyknowledge outside its origin), Analysis(relating and differentiating parts of awhole), Synthesis (relating parts to awhole), and Evaluation (making a judg-ment or formulating an opinion).

The AIMS Teaching Module is designedto facilitate these intellectual capabili-ties, AND to integrate classroom expe-riences and assimilation of learningwith the students’ life experiences, real-ities, and expectations. AIMS’ learnerverification studies prove that our AIMSTeaching Modules help students toabsorb, retain, and to demonstrate abil-ity to use new knowledge in their world.Our educational materials are writtenand designed for today’s classroom,which incorporates a wide range ofintellectual, cultural, physical, and emo-tional diversities.

OBJECTIVES

Mixtures: Together but SeparateTHEMES

Mixtures: Together but Separate intro-duces students to chemical mixtures,both heterogeneous and homoge-neous. Terms such as solutions,solutes and solvents are explored,and different types of solutions arediscussed, such as saturated, super-saturated, colloids and emulsions.The difference between polar mole-cules and nonpolar molecules is cov-ered, as well as the factors affectingmixtures, including temperature andpressure.

OVERVIEWMixtures are not chemically com-bined like compounds, but ratherphysically mixed together. All compo-nents in a mixture retain their proper-ties and can be easily separated.Another difference between mixturesand compounds is that mixtures canhave variable ratios, while com-pounds have fixed ratios. There aretwo basic types of mixtures.Heterogeneous mixtures, such astrash, are not the same throughout.Homogenous mixtures, such as tapwater, have the same propertiesthroughout. These mixtures are alsoknown as solutions. In this type ofmixture, the substance with the great-est quantity is referred to as the sol-vent , while the substances of lesserquantity are called solutes.

To learn more about the varioustypes of chemical mixtures.

To discuss the difference betweenhomogenous and heterogenousmixtures.

To examine the physical proper-ties saturated and super-satu-rated solutions, colloids andemulsion.

INTRODUCTION TOTHE PROGRAMChemical mixtures comprise themajority of things around us. The airwe breathe is a chemical mixture.Synthetic fibers in our shoes and jack-ets are man-made mixtures. The foodwe eat is comprised of a variety ofchemical mixtures. Even our blood isa chemical mixture, with propertiesand components that supply us withthe energy we need to live. As welearn about chemical mixtures, howthey are formed and how theybehave, we can better understand theinfinite variety of things which com-prise our world.

INTRODUCTION TOVOCABULARYBefore starting the program, write thefollowing words on the board. Askthe class to discuss the meaning ofeach word, and review the terms thatare unfamiliar to students.

solute -substance that is dissolved ina solvent

solvent - substance with the great-est quantity in a solution

compound - substance containingtwo or more elements that are chemi-cally combined in fixed proportions

DISCUSSION IDEASAsk students to think about a chemi-cal mixture that they have come intocontact with during the last 24 hours.Was the mixture a solid, liquid orgas? What elements or compoundscomprised the mixture? What werethe properties of the mixture? Did themixture affect them in any way? If so,how?

FOCUSHow do mixtures help us learn moreabout elements and compounds?How does the study of chemical solu-tions enrich our knowledge of theworld? Ask students to keep thesequestions in mind as they being theprogram.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

Writing

Ask students to summarize one of the following terms in a 75-word report. For each item,make sure they include a clear definition and at least one example.

colloidemulsionelectrolyteheterogeneous mixturehomogeneous mixturesaturated solutionsuspension

Link to the WorldIndustrial and automobile exhaust fumes contain chemicals known as sulfates. When sulfatemolecules react with water molecules in the upper atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid. Howdoes this process negatively affect the environment? What are some possible solutions?

(Along with water, sulfuric acid condenses in rain clouds and falls to the Earth as acid rain.The acid rain is harmful to plants and trees. Many attempts have been made by world gov-ernments to lower industrial fumes and control the amount of exhaust fumes released by auto-mobiles and other vehicles. Scientists have also experimented with various chemical processesto lessen the effects of acid rain.)

Critical Thinking

Have students ever noticed that salt is hard to shake from a salt shaker on a humid day? Whatcould be reason and how might it relate to a chemical solution?

(Some substances, including salt, can remove water molecules from the air. These substancesare known as hygroscopic. Humid air contains many water molecules. When the air is humid,salt crystals absorb water molecules and clump together.)

Hands On

A solute is a substances that is dissolved in another substance. A solvent is the substance in asolution with the greatest quantity. To illustrate these two principles, perform the followingdemonstration.

Fill a large glass jelly jar with water. Add a 5 tablespoons of Boric acid crystals to the jar ofwater. Screw the lid on the jar and shake it for about 10 seconds. What happens? Ask stu-dents what the reason could be. Which substance is the solute and which is the solvent? Whatkind of mixture has been produced?

(Some Boric acid crystals dissolve, but most of the crystals float to the bottom. The solute, Boricacid, does not dissolve very well in the solvent, water. As a result, only a little Boric acid isrequired to produce a saturated solution.)

Connection to History

Ask students to do a little research to find out where the term Tyndall effect first originated.Who was John Tyndall and what did he do?

(Tyndall was a British physicist and philosopher. He is best known for discovering the Tyndalleffect, which occurs when the path of a light beam is shone through a colloidal suspension,illuminating the particles therein. Tyndall also described the reaction that Penicillim mold hadon the growth of bacteria. This was half a century before the discovery was published byAlexander Fleming.)

Extended Activity

Immiscible substances are those that do not mix well with each other. Miscible substances arethose that mix together easily. To prove this, pour half a cup of water into a glass jar. Color thewater with a few drops of blue food coloring. Very slowly, pour half a cup of oil on top of thewater. Are oil and water immiscible or miscible substances? (Oil and water are immisciblesubstances.)

Next, add a few drops of red food coloring to the oil. The drops will float in the oil. What couldbe the reason? Push the drops down into the water portion of the jar. What happens? Why?

(The food coloring is water-based, therefore it is also immiscible with oil. For this reason, thefood coloring floats in the oil portion of the mixture. When pushed into the water portion, thefood coloring dissolves. Food coloring and water are miscible substances.)

Connection to Science

Polymers are used to make many of the things around us. Because of their molecular structure,polymers like plastic are both strong and moldable. To help students understand the structureof polymers, assist them with the following experiment.

Begin by warming a cup of whole milk over a Bunsen Burner. Do not let the milk boil. Removethe milk from the heat. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the milk and stir well. A white rubberysubstance will form in the milk. This is a very basic plastic formed from proteins in the milk.Place a piece of fabric over the mouth of a glass jar and secure the fabric over the jar’s lid witha rubber band. Strain the milk mixture into the jar. The solid portions will remain on the fab-ric. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the plastic substance. Form the plastic into ashape using a mold or cookie cutter. Once the substance dries out completely, it will becomevery hard. Since heat can speed up the process, it will help to leave the plastic in a warm win-dow.

Meeting Individual Needs

Ask students to make sentences using the following words. Encourage them to use a dictionaryif they are unfamiliar with the meanings.

colloidcompounddistillationelectrolyteemulsion heterogeneous mixturehomogeneous mixtureionsolubilityTyndall Effect

Culminating Activity

Man-made chemical mixtures such as polymers have changed our lives in many ways. Ask stu-dents to find a man-made chemical mixture and bring it to class. The mixture can be a solidor a liquid. Have students study up on the development, production and uses of the mixture.After each presentation, encourage other students to ask questions about the chemical mix-tures.
