It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet that is meant to be used with another page containing images or descriptions of different sets of objects. The current page has two columns labeled
"Mixtures" and
"Solutions", with blank boxes where students are supposed to glue cut-out images based on whether each set represents a mixture or a solution.
However,
the actual content (images or descriptions) that needs to be sorted is missing — it should be on the "next page," which isn't included in your upload.

🔍 Understanding the Concepts:
To help you solve this task, here’s a quick explanation so you can correctly categorize any given items:
####
✔ Mixture:
- A combination of two or more substances that are
not chemically bonded.
- Components can usually be separated by physical means.
- Examples:
- Sand and water
- Salad
- Air (a mixture of gases)
- Trail mix
> Note: Mixtures can be
heterogeneous (not uniform, e.g., sand in water) or
homogeneous (uniform, like saltwater — but wait! That's actually a solution).
####
✔ Solution:
- A
type of homogeneous mixture where one substance (solute) dissolves completely in another (solvent).
- Uniform throughout; particles are at the molecular level.
- Cannot be separated by filtration.
- Examples:
- Saltwater (salt dissolved in water)
- Sugar in tea
- Air (if we consider it as a gas solution)
> So,
all solutions are mixtures, but
not all mixtures are solutions.

🧩 How to Sort:
When you have the boxes from the next page (which should include pictures or descriptions), follow these steps:
1.
Look at each image/description.
2. Ask:
- Is it a
homogeneous blend? (Looks uniform)
→ Likely a
solution
- Can you see separate parts?
→ Likely a
mixture (especially heterogeneous)
3. If it involves
dissolving (e.g., sugar in water), it’s a
solution.
4. If it’s
physical blending without dissolving (e.g., oil and water, rocks and gravel), it’s a
mixture.

📌 Example Categorization (Hypothetical):
| Image/Description | Category |
|-------------------|---------|
| Salt dissolved in water |
✔ Solution |
| Sand and pebbles mixed together |
✔ Mixture |
| Air |
✔ Solution (gas-gas solution) |
| Milkshake |
✔ Mixture (though sometimes considered colloidal, generally treated as mixture) |
| Lemonade (with sugar dissolved) |
✔ Solution |
| Salad |
✔ Mixture |

✔ Final Answer (What You Should Do):
Since the images aren’t visible in your upload, I can’t fill in the boxes for you. But once you have the next page:
- Cut out each box.
- Decide if the item shown is a
mixture or
solution.
- Glue it under the correct heading.
Let me know what the items on the next page are (or describe them), and I’ll help you sort them!
