Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Solutions Pure Substances and Mixtures Experiments

This unit on Mixtures and Solutions covers homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures and includes science experiments for special education covering solution chemistry.

This unit addresses:

• Parts of a solution
• Compare mixtures, solutions, and suspensions
• Effects of temperature on concentration
• Identify dilute and concentrated solutions

Students have many opportunities to engage with repeated information on what makes something a mixture or a solution.

Two safe and non-heated experiments are included. One examines the separation of mixtures, and the other examines differences in solubility.

In addition, many of the activities and assessments include multiple versions, differentiation suggestions, and presentation options.

*****This unit has digital versions of the printable activities. There are 44 Google Slides and a movie version of the book.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities experience material over several days to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students focus more on the content you present rather than on the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions, it will push them to think more deeply than before.
