Unit 1:
Pure Substances and
Mixtures

The Pure Substances and Mixtures unit covers concepts related to three topics:

Classifying Matter
Students learn that matter, defined as anything that has mass and takes up space, can be classified into many different categories. In examining different substances, students will recognize that most materials can be classified as either pure substances or mixtures.

Using Matter to Make Products
Students examine a variety of everyday products and learn how they make use of the physical properties of the substances they are made from.

Sustainability Concerns
Students learn that the use of large amounts of raw materials to manufacture products impacts the environment, the economy, and human health.
