Evaporation occurs when a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.

Condensation occurs when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that maintain their original properties.

Solutions are formed when one substance dissolves in another.

Matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change from one form to another.

Melting occurs when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.

Matter can change from one state to another when a substance is heated or cooled.(ES)

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game you will mix 3 lbs. of water with 1 lb. of salt - what do you think will happen to the mixtures? What are the three types of matter? What happens when you put water in the freezer? What happens when you heat water on a stove?

After the Game

What happened to the ice when you put it into the heater and then cooled it again? Did the amount of each type of matter change when they were mixed together? What did you learn is the difference between a solution and a mixture? Was the matter destroyed when it was heated or cooled?
