How can you describe a substance?
Think about the different ways you can describe a type of matter. Is it hard? Can you pour it? What color is it? Answering questions like these can help you describe the properties of a substance. In this lab, you will observe how the properties of a mixture can be very different from the properties of the substances it is made from.
Procedure
1. Read and complete a lab safety form.
2. Using a small plastic spoon, measure two spoonfuls of cornstarch into a clear plastic cup. What does the cornstarch look like? What does it feel like?
3. Slowly stir one spoonful of water into the cup containing the cornstarch. Gently roll the new substance around in the cup with your finger.

Think About This
1. What were some properties of the cornstarch and water before they were mixed?
2.
Key Concept How were the properties of the mixture different from the original
properties of the cornstarch and water?
