Science matter and mixture worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve each part of the worksheet.

Part 1: Which are mixtures? Look and choose

We need to pick which pictures show mixtures. A mixture is when two or more things are combined but not chemically changed — you can usually see the different parts.

- Picture 1: Soup with noodles, carrots, broth → This is a mixture (solids + liquid).
- Picture 2: Bowl of mixed nuts → Different kinds of nuts together → Mixture of solids.
- Picture 3: Tomatoes (whole and sliced) → Just one type of thing → Not a mixture.
- Picture 4: Water being poured into a glass → Just water → Not a mixture (unless it had something else in it, but here it looks like pure water).

✔ So, the mixtures are: Picture 1 and Picture 2

*(Note: The instruction says “look and choose” — so we’re selecting the images that are mixtures.)*

Part 2: Look, read, and write the number.

We have three labeled pictures:

- Picture 1: Cereal in milk → Solids (cereal) + Liquid (milk) → Mixture of solids and a liquid.
- Picture 2: Apples → All same thing, just multiple apples → Not a mixture.
- Picture 3: Salad → Lettuce, tomatoes, olives, etc. → All solids mixed together → Mixture of solids.

Now match the descriptions:

- “It is a mixture of solids.” → That’s Picture 3
- “It is a mixture of solids and a liquid.” → That’s Picture 1
- “It is not a mixture.” → That’s Picture 2

So we write the numbers next to each description:

• It is a mixture of solids. → 3
• It is a mixture of solids and a liquid. → 1
• It is not a mixture. → 2

Part 3: Use the given words and fill in the blanks.

Words given: solid, gas, liquid, mixture

Picture shows: Cornflakes in milk → That’s a mixture containing solid (cornflakes) and liquid (milk).

Sentence:
“The ______________ has ______________ and a ______________ in it.”

Best fit:
→ “The mixture has solid and a liquid in it.”

(We don’t use “gas” because there’s no gas shown or implied in cereal and milk.)

Final Answer:

Part 1: Mixtures are the soup (first image) and the bowl of nuts (second image).
Part 2:
- It is a mixture of solids. → 3
- It is a mixture of solids and a liquid. → 1
- It is not a mixture. → 2
Part 3: The mixture has solid and a liquid in it.
