Lesson Plan – Homogenous and Heterogeneous Mixtures
Assumptions: Students understand a mixture is two or more things put together. Students understand the definitions for same and different.
Anticipatory Set:
Getting Attention Focused: Place a red fruit-filled Jell-O cup and a red plain Jell-O cup in front of the class, and discuss how they are the same and different.
Tapping Prior Knowledge: I am a human being and ET is an alien; ET is not
like me. ET is within the word heterogeneous which means “other kind” or different.
Materials: clear plastic cups, plastic spoons, salt, pepper, water, kool-aid, sand, jello cups, glue, can of peas and carrots, milk, 4 ounces of cereal, worksheet, notebook paper, pencil, permanent marker, pictures of 2 homogeneous mixtures and 2 heterogeneous mixtures.
Grade Level: 5th grade
Objectives:
Given 20 minutes and a worksheet with 5 household items and foods, TLW
|circle if a type of mixture is heterogeneous or homogeneous, with no more than 1 out of 5 answered incorrectly. |
|TEKS - (7) Science concepts. The student knows that matter has physical properties. The student is expected to: |
|(C) identify changes that can occur in the physical properties of the ingredients of solutions such as dissolving sugar in water. |

|paraphrase in complete sentences the mixture is heterogeneous or homogeneous [see checklist for evaluation criteria]. |
|TEKS - 7) Science concepts. The student knows that matter has physical properties. The student is expected to: |

Teacher/Student Activities
Modeling: a1) Mix two homogeneous mixtures (kool-aid and water, glue and water) in separate cups with clean spoons. Show how the mixtures are homogeneous because it is made of two ingredients but is the same throughout. Label the cups one and two. a2) Mix two heterogeneous mixtures (peas and carrots, milk and cereal) in separate cups with clean spoons. Show how the mixtures are heterogeneous [ET is not like me, ET is within the word heterogeneous which means “other kind” or different] because they are made of two things which are easily seen and separated. Label the cups three and four. b1) Write homogeneous mixture on the board with the cup numbers and their contents. Write why it is homogeneous. Show the checklist to the students in order to evaluate why the mixture is homogeneous. b2) Write heterogeneous mixture on the board with the cup numbers and their contents. Write why it is heterogeneous. Use the checklist to evaluate the explanation for a heterogeneous mixture.
Guided Practice: A1) Show the class a picture of a fruit salad and have the students circle what type of mixture it is and paraphrase why the mixture is homogeneous or heterogeneous with the use of prior knowledge hints mentioned. A2) Show the class a picture of a bowl filled with milk and cereal. Allow the students to circle what type of mixture it is along with an explanation of why without the help of the given hints. B1) Show students a picture of a cup of coffee and repeat the process in a1 along with why it is not heterogeneous with the use of prior knowledge hints mentioned. Continue the process with a picture of a jar of mustard. B2) Students will circle homogeneous or heterogeneous and paraphrase why the mixture is the circled choice without giving hints. The class will discuss their responses.
Independent Practice: In groups of four, the students will think of and write down four things that are mixtures and tell if they are heterogeneous or homogeneous, along with an explanation for each mixture. Allow students to share their findings with the class.
Closure: What type of mixtures did we discuss today? What is the difference between the two? How are the mixtures the same? What will help you determine if a mixture is heterogeneous or homogeneous? What are some examples of a heterogeneous mixture/homogeneous mixture?
Evaluation: Written test [see attached]
Name __________________________ Date _____________________
For each mixture listed, circle if the mixture is a heterogeneous mixture or a homogeneous mixture. In complete sentences, explain why each mixture is heterogeneous or homogeneous.
1. Italian dressing with herbs
It is a heterogeneous mixture / homogeneous mixture because
2. Tea served with ice cubes.
It is a heterogeneous mixture / homogeneous mixture because
3. Orange juice w/o pulp
It is a heterogeneous mixture / homogeneous mixture because
4. Spaghetti and Meatballs
It is a heterogeneous mixture / homogeneous mixture because
5. Bottle of Elmer’s Glue
It is a heterogeneous mixture / homogeneous mixture because
Written Test Evaluation Checklist
|Explanation for Mixture Selection | | |
|The student wrote an explanation in complete sentences. |Y |N |
|Explanation included why the mixture was homogeneous/heterogeneous based on the criteria below: |Y |N |
|Homogeneous | | |
|The ingredients blended together to create the same mixture. | | |
|The mixture was one color. |Y |N |
|Only one ingredient can be seen. |Y |N |
|The mixture is the same. |Y |N |
|Heterogeneous |Y |N |
|Two or more ingredients are visible in the mixture. | | |
|The ingredients can be easily separated. |Y |N |
|The mixture is not the same or is different throughout its container. |Y |N |
| |Y |N |
| | | |
Is my explanation acceptable?
|Homogeneous Mixture | | |
| | | |
|♣ The ingredients blended together to create the same mixture. |Y |N |
|♣ The mixture was one color. |Y |N |
|♣ Only one ingredient can be seen. |Y |N |
|♣ The mixture is the same throughout. |Y |N |
| | | |
|Heterogeneous Mixture | | |
| | | |
|♣ Two or more ingredients are visible in the mixture. |Y |N |
|♣ The ingredients can be easily separated. |Y |N |
|♣ The mixture is not the same or is different throughout the container. |Y |N |
Mixture – combination of 2 or more ingredients or substances.
Two types of mixtures are:
1. Homogeneous Mixture
A mixture that is the same throughout its container, and its ingredients can not be separated.
I am a human being and ET is an alien; ET is not like me.
2. Heterogeneous Mixture
A mixture that is different throughout its container and its ingredients can be separated.
1. Kool-aid and water is a homogeneous mixture.
It is a homogeneous mixture because water dissolved the kool-aid, and they combined to make the same substance and color.
2. Glue and water is a homogeneous mixture.
It is a homogeneous mixture because the water and glue blended together to create the same mixture.
3. Peas and carrots is a heterogeneous mixture.
It is a heterogeneous mixture because the peas and carrots can be easily separated.
4. Salt and pepper is a heterogeneous mixture.
It is a heterogeneous mixture because two ingredients are visible inside the cup.
