5th Grade Mixtures and Solutions worksheets

About this worksheet

A mixture is two or more materials put together that keep their own properties, and the parts can often be seen and separated, like sand and gravel. A solution is a special mixture in which one material dissolves in another and spreads out evenly, so the parts cannot be seen, like salt in water.

The matter is still there: tasting or evaporating the water shows the salt. On this fifth grade sheet a child reads ten examples and circles whether each is a mixture or a solution. Each version has different examples, and the answer key gives every answer.

What your child will learn

• Know what a mixture is
• Know what a solution is
• Tell apart parts you can see from parts that dissolve
• Know that dissolved matter is still there
