Mixtures can be easily separated and the substances\/ components in the mixture keep their original properties. Imagine making a mixture of Cheerios and marshmallows &#8211; the individual components (Cheerios and marshmallows) could easily be separated using our fingers.\u00a0 What about sand and water&#8230; or paperclips and gravel?\u00a0 How might you decide to separate these?<\/p>\n<article class=\"post-2701 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-chemistry category-early-years-science-2 category-key-stage-1-science category-key-stage-2-science category-kitchen-science category-pre-school-science category-sensorymessy-play tag-chemistry tag-making-mixtures tag-making-science-fun tag-mixtures tag-pres-school tag-science-for-children tag-science-for-kids tag-solutions entry\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h4><strong>Solutions:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Solutions are mixtures when a solid (which we call a solute) dissolves into a liquid (that we call the solvent) What about salt in water?
