Solute, solvent and solution | What is a Solution? | Science Video for Kids

A solution is a specific type of .....??

• solubility

• solution

• mixture

• substance

A solution is consider HOMOGONEOUS because ... 

• it the SAME (or uniform) all throughout it

• it NOT the SAME all throughout it

TRUE or FALSE:

A solution DOES NOT change over time (or settle).

• True

• False

YES or NO

Are you able to use a filter to separate the particles of a solution?

• Yes

• No

What did he have to do to the salt and the water to see if it was a solution (or not a solution)?

((hint: watch the motions of the boy. What is he doing?))

• 1st) stir the water (with the salt in there)
  2nd) add the salt to the water
  3rd) stop stirring, let it settle, & observe if there's any salt left

• 1st) add the salt to the water
  2nd) stir the water (with the salt in there)
  3rd) stop stirring, let it settle, & observe if there's any salt left

• 1st) stop stirring, let it settle, & observe if there's any salt left
  2nd) add the salt to the water
  3rd) stir the water (with the salt in there)

A SOLUTE is the ......

• substance that you TAKE OUT (& it's being NOT dissolved)

• substance that you ADD (& it's being NOT dissolved)

• substance that you TAKE OUT (& it IS being dissolved)

• substance that you ADD (& it IS being dissolved)

the SOLVENT is that substance that .....

• dissolves (breaks down) the other substance

• does NOT dissolve (break down) the other substance

• NEITHER dissolves nor doesn't dissolve the other substance

What is a solution? 

• When a solute dissolves into a solvent.

• When a solution evaporates and leaves behind a solute. 

• When a solvent dissolves into a solute. 

• When you mix as many different things together as you can. 

What is dissolving? 

• When the solute and solvent cause the solution to CHANGE COLORS. 

• When the solute BREAKS larger molecules of the solvent into smaller groups or individual molecules. 

• When the solute and solvent will NOT CREATE a solution. 

In this example, the solution is considered SATURATED because ... 

• there's been NOT ENOUGH salt added to the water (and the water can still break it all down)

• there's been TOO MUCH salt added to the water (and the water can't break it all down)
