CHEMISTRY Wow! That was pretty insane, huh? Did your salt look like this? I’m really, really proud of you and the way you were able to apply what you learned in the last chapter about mixtures and physical means of separation!
It’s a good thing to be able to follow a set of directions, but an absolutely TREMENDOUS thing to be able to figure out how to solve a problem on your own! That’s a difficult thing to learn how to do, and you are doing a great job developing that skill. Any questions about writing up the lab report for TOMORROW? Use the Lab Report manuscript form you can find here under the chemistry labs tab, or on Edline. Remember, some of you definitely need to elaborate on your procedure!
Also, you must include the data table that is on the original lab sheets, and then include your own observations of each step you did after the data table. And then, after you write your own conclusion, don’t forget to answer all of the questions at the end of the lab sheets. The answers to those questions will go after your own conclusion.

This lab was very tricky, but interesting at the same time.
This lab definitely helped me understand that the order does matter when separating a mixture!
I learned a lot from this lab but most importantly that you cannot second guess yourself.
Jordan – Good job today!! 🙂
I actually really enjoyed having to figure out this lab mainly by ourselves! It was fun!
The first part of the lab was challenging
The lab challenged my skills and helped me understand how i could do it correctly now
The lab yesterday, mixture separation, was a intresting lab that made us use our minds. Thank you!
this lab was easier than i thought it would be
The mixture separation lab was challenging but helped me understand the physical properites of each substance!

I really enjoyed this because it required me to apply myself and use critical thinking skills.
My group did pretty well on this lab.
I enjoyed this lab even though it was a tad stressful.
I thought this lab was fun, but I wish I had more time to finish!
this lab was kinda difficult but it definitely taught me alot about separating substances!
This lab was harder than I expected. I did enjoy it though.
My favorite lab this year so far! I can’t believe we actually did that. We know a lot more than what we think. Thanks!
This was such a great lab! I hope we will get to do a lab like this again sometime!
This lab was challenging but I’m glad that I could apply what I learned to figure out how to seperate the mixture.
I never realized how much the order of your procedures of your lab could change the outcome so much!
On this lab it really does matter the order in which you do your procedure. I enjoyed it!
Can you suggest any other ways to separate the mixtures?
Thank you for this post.
