5th Science
Lesson Planner
Unit 2 Mixtures and Solutions
Time Frame: 5 days
Objectives
Skills: The students will be able to…
• demonstrate that mixtures can be separated and identify solution as a type of mixture.
• use the physical properties of mixtures and solutions to decide whether the properties
change or remain the same.
• identify different substances by their properties.
• analyze and differentiate a solution or mixture based on physical properties.
TEKS
Readiness:
NONE
Supporting:
5.5C, 5.5D
Scientific Process Skills:
5.1A, 5.1B, 5.2C, 5.2D,
5.2F, 5.2G, 5.4A
Scientific Process TEKS must be incorporated into
instruction as appropriate throughout the school year.
ELPS:
1C, 5G
Performance Indicators:
By the end of the unit the student will be able to…
•
•
make two mixtures, one must be a solution.
Identify whether or not the physical properties of the original substances in each change when the new mixtures are
created.
Student will be able to answer key concepts by the end of the lesson:
o Are all mixtures the same? Why do you think so?
o How could you demonstrate that a mixtures’ ingredients maintain their physical properties?
o What makes a solution a unique type of mixture? How could you demonstrate this?

Misconceptions/Underdeveloped Concepts
•
•
Students may think that mixtures and solutions are the same thing.
Students may confuse solvent and solute.

Make lemonade or Kool-Aid with your students.
Make trail mix, salad, stew, or anything that is a mixture. Have your child describe the physical properties.
If you do not understand the term “physical properties”, please contact your child’s teacher.
