This medium-level worksheet has students fill in blanks, and match items from two columns to practice properties of matter skills.
It includes 10 questions across 2 sections for focused practice.
Style:
Properties of Matter
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A solution forms when one substance called the solute dissolves in another substance.
2. The substance that does the dissolving in a solution is called the solvent.
3. Stirring or heating a liquid can help a solute dissolve faster in a solvent.
4. A mixture of sand and water can be separated by pouring it through a filter to trap the sand.
5. When no more solute can dissolve in a solvent, the solution is said to be saturated.
6. Evaporation can be used to separate a dissolved solid from a liquid solution.
7. Oil and water do not mix because oil is insoluble in water.
8. A heterogeneous mixture has parts that are not evenly spread out and can be seen.
9. In saltwater, water is the solvent and salt is the solute.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Sand and gravel
→ Use a sieve — larger gravel pieces stay on top while sand falls through
Use a magnet — iron is attracted to magnets but sand is not
Saltwater
→ Use evaporation — water turns to vapor and leaves salt crystals behind
Use a sieve — larger gravel pieces stay on top while sand falls through
Iron filings and sand
→ Use a magnet — iron is attracted to magnets but sand is not
Use evaporation — water turns to vapor and leaves salt crystals behind
Food coloring in water
→ Homogeneous solution — dye particles spread evenly throughout the water
Homogeneous solution — dye particles spread evenly throughout the water
