4. Making Solutions Learning Activity
Using the solutes and solvents in front of you test to see which ones form solutions. You can tell whether a solution is formed because the solute(solid) will dissolve into the solvent(liquid).
Copy out the table and place a tick in every box that forms a solution.
Solvents
Water
Salt
Sugar
Sand
Solutes

5. Soluble A substance(solid) that will dissolve. Key Word Alert!
What do you think insoluble may be?
(Give an example of a soluble substance and an insoluble substance)

6. Insoluble Sand water Solid Liquid Solute Solvent
Learning Activity
Fill in the blanks
A solution is formed when a _________ is dissolved into a _______. We call the solid a ________ and the liquid a _______.
Salt and _______is one example of a solution because the salt disappears into the liquid. Making a transparent solution.
_____ and water is not an example of a solution because the _______ doesn’t dissolve into the water.
We therefore call the sand __________.
Insoluble Sand water Solid Liquid Solute Solvent
