What is a Mixture?

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances where each substance keeps its own properties. Think of it like a salad - you can still see and taste the individual ingredients, even though they are combined.

How to Make a Mixture:

1. Choose your ingredients: Decide what substances you want to combine. You can use solids, liquids, or even gases!

2. Combine them: Mix the ingredients together. You can do this by:

* Stirring: For liquids or solids dissolved in liquids.

* Shaking: For liquids that don't mix easily (like oil and water).

* Blending: For making smooth mixtures like smoothies.

* Combining without mixing: For mixtures like sand and pebbles, where the ingredients are just put together.

Important Notes:

* The ingredients in a mixture can be separated: You can usually get the original ingredients back by using methods like filtering, evaporation, or magnetism.

* The proportions can vary: You can change the amounts of each ingredient to create different types of mixtures.

Examples of Mixtures:

* Saltwater: Salt dissolved in water.

* Sand and pebbles: A mixture of solids.

* Air: A mixture of gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.

* Trail mix: A mixture of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
