Grade 7 Science Separating Mixtures and Solutions
Many products depend on technology for separating mixtures and solutions What are the three solids and the liquid in the picture below? White, yellow and brown sugar Molasses
What you will learn: In this chapter, you will • identify separation techniques that are used in and around the home • describe how to use different methods to separate a variety of mixtures • identify examples of how science related to mixtures and solutions affects our lives
Student Activity: Discuss with a partner how you would separate the following mixtures…
Discussion Question “Are the components you have separated still mixtures, or are they pure? Why or why not?”
Separation Techniques Mechanical Sorting: • Used to separate the parts of a mixture based on properties such as particle size. • Examples: floatation & magnetism
magnetism floatation
Filtration: • A common way to separate solid particles from a mixture • The filters can have holes of varying sizes… small to microscopic.
Oil filter Coffee filter Colander Furnace filter
Evaporation: • Change of state from a liquid to a gas. • Used to recover a solid solute from a solution.
Distillation: • Uses two changes of state: evaporation and condensation. • It allows you to recover BOTH the solute and solvent from a solution.
Condensation Evaporation

Paper Chromatography: • Used to separate the colored substances in a mixture such as ink. • Used to separate the solvents in a mixture.

Separation Techniques in the Home: • Colanders • Clothes dryers • Window screens • Coffee percolators • Salad spinners Any others?
