6. Pure Substances and Mixtures Stations

Do you need differentiated elements compounds and mixtures stations activities for your Matter unit? Perfect for a middle school physical science class studying properties of matter, pure substances and mixtures, this resource will help you reach and assess your students in a multitude of ways. This resource includes 7 stations with minimal prep involved. There is a printable version, editable PowerPoint version and a Digital Google Slides™ version that will help you save on time and paper!

The 7 types of stations include:

1. Discover – Students will research information about elements, compounds and mixtures in Earth’s spheres. They will also research chromatography and distillation.

2. Observe – Students will create 2 mixtures (lemonade powder and water as well as sand and salt). They will identify them as homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures and explain.

3. Experiment – Students will perform a mini experiment where they mix sand with iron fillings and then separate it with a magnet. They will also create a simple filter with a water bottle, coffee filter and muddy water.

4. Write – Students will explain their answers in 2-3 sentences.

5. Create – Students will create a comic strip that represents the difference between elements, compounds and mixtures.

6. Sort – Students will sort building bricks to create an example of an element, compound and a mixture. Then, they will draw their model.

7. Quiz – Students will answer a mix of 8 true/false, multiple choice and short answer questions.

*Each station should take students between 8-10 minutes to complete.*

The RESOURCE includes:

• Digital Google Slides™ link to perform stations online.
• Printable version of stations in color and black/white
• Editable PowerPoint version of stations.

Content covered:
