2. Mixtures What is a mixture?
A mixture is a combination of 2 different types of elements or compounds that keep their special characteristics.
Mixtures can be physically separated.
Mixtures can be from solids, liquids, or gases
Solutions are a type of mixture.

Filter out one part. (straining mac and cheese)
Heat it so one part evaporates. (heat salt water until the water evaporates.)
Use a magnet to remove part. (tooth fillings)
Cool it so one part condenses. (water pulled out from the air onto a cold glass)

5. Solutions Many mixtures can be unevenly mixed. Solutions are mixtures
that are evenly mixed.
