      TEKS 4.6B: Compare Mixtures and Solutions

      • Mixtures and Solutions

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can identify mixtures and solutions and explain why they are what they are.

        Focuses On:

        • What mixtures are.
        • What solutions are.

        Builds On:

        This is the first time students are introduced to the concept of mixtures and solutions.

        Next Level:

        5.6B:

        demonstrate and explain that some mixtures maintain physical properties of their substances such as iron filings and sand or sand and water


        5.6C:

        compare the properties of substances before and after they are combined into a solution and demonstrate that matter is conserved in solutions

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to support students' understanding of mixtures and solutions.


        The lesson begins with an introduction to mixtures, explaining that their separate parts are visible and can be physically separated. It then introduces solutions, where the individual components are not visible and are more difficult to separate.


        This is the first time students are introduced to the concepts of mixtures and solutions, which prepares them for standards 5.6B and 5.6C, where they will analyze the properties of each in greater depth.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do you teach Compare Mixtures and Solutions to 4th graders?

      To teach Compare Mixtures and Solutions to 4th grade Science students, anchor the concept in a hands-on investigation or real-world phenomenon, then build academic vocabulary and scientific reasoning through guided practice. TEKS 4.6B asks students to investigate and compare a variety of mixtures, including solutions that are composed of liquids in liquids and solids in liquids. Crystal Instruction's free ClearLessons for 4.6B walk through this progression with modeling, guided practice, and built-in checks for understanding, while the ClearSheets provide scaffolded practice. You can download both free on this page.
