Mixtures and Solutions Lab: Bubble Potions

This mixtures and solutions lab will get your kids excited about 5th grade chemistry! Bubble Potions is a fun and magical science lab where students will be able to discuss the physical properties of matter; distinguish between mixtures and solutions and understand the difference between a solute and a solvent. You can turn this into a magical classroom transformation where students are wizards learning potions!

This resource includes 3 student lab experiments and 1 teacher-led demonstration. There are some supplies that are required but they can be found in your local stores. First, students will read two passages and complete some short answer questions, then they will complete the lab stations, and finally write a wizard report (a short essay).

What is included?

• Four lab activities to learn about making and observing solutions, and to help identify solutes and solvents
• One infographic fill-in page on the composition of a bubble
• A student lab report for the bubble potions
