Physical Characteristics/Attributes – NO OPINIONS!

Problem: Can we identify a mixture of 2 different powders based on their Physical & Chemical properties?

Hypothesis: IF we test five different powders using our senses, solubility, iodine, vinegar and heat test THEN we should be able to identify a mixture of any 2 powders.

Solubility Tray- leave out of big bag

Problem: Scientific Results must be kept free of contamination…..so…..

1. Do Not DOUBLE DIP!!!!!

2. Clean your hands each time you use a new powder!!!!!

3. Stir sticks should be trimmed when contaminated.

3 unique bullets for each square – one simile

Get Mrs. M.’s Signature after finishing 2 complete tests

TESTS : Please complete each test on every powder before moving on to the next test.

1.Senses: A. Use your senses of sight, touch and smell. (mag. glass, wafting technique) B. Record your observations into the chart. Use a variety of adjectives to help establish the unique qualities of

each powder. C. Three characteristics are required

2. Solubility: A. Fill each of your vials with about 2.5 cm of water. (from the sink….be careful with the pressure- TURN ON the SINK 1st) B. Add in a “pinch” of powder. C. Make one observation as the powder is “falling” into the vial. Record . D. Stir in the powder with the stir stick. E. Make a second observation once the powder has been stirred in. Record.

*Since each tray has only 4 vials, you will need to clean the tray out to test your fifth powder.

3. Iodine: Changes color in the presence of starch. (golden yellow-brown to black)

•Use the FLAT testing trays for this test.•Measure a “pinch” of powder into each well.•With the dropper, dispense three drops of iodine onto each powder.•Make one observation as the iodine is placed onto the powder. Record.•Stir in the iodine with the stir stick.•Make a second observation once the iodine is stirred in. Record.•Cut the tip of the contaminated stir stick off before using the stick again.

 WASH, CLEAN and DRY TESTING TRAY 4. Vinegar: Chemical reaction between acids & bases results in bubbling and exothermic reaction. 

•Use the FLAT testing trays for this test.•Measure a “pinch” of powder into each well.•With the dropper, dispense three drops of vinegar onto each powder.•Make one observation as the vinegar is placed onto the powder. Record.•Stir in the vinegar with the stir stick. Cut the tip of the contaminated stir stick off before using again.•Make a second observation once the vinegar is stirred in. Record.
