1. What happens when a solid dissolves in a liquid?
It sinks to the bottom.
It breaks up into tiny particles that you can no longer see.
It floats to the top.
It makes the liquid evaporate more quickly.
What is a solution?
A liquid with another material dissolved in it.
liquid that has solids in it that have sunk.
A solid that has been immersed in water.
It makes the liquid evaporate more quickly.
Pick one correct definition: Solutions are:
coloured and opaque.
colourless and opaque.
coloured and transparent.
either coloured or colourless, and transparent.
Match the substance to how it will react when mixed with water: Sugar:
Dissolve completely.
Mix at first, then separate and sink.
Form a new substance, eventually solidifying.
Mix at first, then separate and float.
Select the two correct statements:
Soluble materials dissolve in liquid, making a solution.
Soluble materials mix with a liquid, but will always separate eventually.
Insoluble materials may be mixed with a liquid, making a mixture.
Insoluble materials dissolve in liquid, making a solution.
True or false: Dissolving is a reversible change. The solid (solute) and liquid (solvent) can be separated.
TRUE
FALSE
How can materials dissolved in water, such as sugar or salt, be separated?

How could a mixture of water and soil be separated?
Only by filtration.
Only by evaporation.
By filtration or evaporation.
By removing the soil particles using tweezers.
