PRESENTATION OUTLINE
In this presentation, I will be describing elements, compounds, and mixtures.
Elements
Elements are pure substances that can be broken down into atoms. Elements can have more that one atom, but all atoms include the same element. Some examples of elements are sodium, nitrogen, oxygen, chlorine, and carbon.
Compounds
Compounds are two or more elements chemically combined. Compounds can be broken down into elements. Some examples of compounds are water, rust, baking soda, flour, and milk.
Mixtures
Mixtures are substances made by mixing other substances together. There are two types of mixtures. Homogeneous mixtures, and heterogeneous mixtures.
Some mixtures are trail mix, sea water, Kool-Aid, sugar water, and air.
Homogeneous Mixtures
These mixtures are the kind that are consistent, and have uniform properties. They are blended or dissolved together to make one mixture.
Examples: Kool-Aid, sugar water, or any kind of mixed drinks.
Heterogenous Mixtures
Some mixtures are heterogenous, which means all parts can be picked out. Items are not dissolved or blended together.
Examples: trail mix, pizza toppings, and salads.
