Does the mixture have uniform composition? In other words, when you look at it, do you see different parts or does it look evenly mixed? If it does have uniform composition, it is a HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE.

Homogeneous Mixtures AKA solution Uniform throughout Evenly mixed Cannot see differences (visibly distinguished) Particles of the substances are so small that they cannot be seen easily.

Mixtures that do not have uniform composition Heterogeneous Mixtures –Not uniform throughout –The component substances can be visibly distinguished

Exit Ticket: Copy and identify each as either heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture 1)skim milk 2)taco 3)trail mix 4)lemonade 5)yellow playdough
