In 3rd and 4th grade science, we learned the difference between a solution and mixture. We mixed Chex Mix, M&Ms, and Smarties together. In the mixture, We were able to pick out the candy and put them in different containers; however, when we made our Kool-aide solution, we could not take the sugar out and put it in a separate container! We learned that items in a mixture will generally just mix and are not completely dissolved or changed. In a solution, substances completely dissolve and cannot be filtered out. Science can sometimes taste great! -Sheryl Haynes, Port O’Connor School
