Everything from elements, to molecules, objects, plants, and animals, even you and me, is all made up of matter. Matter - All Mixed Up! allows students to explore the physical properties of matter through the separation of various mixtures. The included experimental protocol enables students to plan and conduct an experiment on their own with basic guidance and allows the assessment of student learning capabilities. This kit contains all materials needed for 15 groups to perform the experiment and includes a Teacher's Manual and a Student Answer Packet copymaster.
