This nonfiction science reader will help fifth grade students gain science content knowledge while building their reading comprehension and literacy skills. This purposefully leveled text features hands-on, challenging science experiments and full-color images. Students will learn all about chemistry, colloids, solubility, solutions, and much more through this engaging text that supports STEM education and is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards. Important text features like a glossary and index will improve students close reading skills.

Almost everything around us is a combination of different things. These are mixtures and solutions. Seawater, for example, is a solution of salt and water. The engaging text and vivid illustrations in this book will help readers understand how mixtures and solutions form, and how they apply to everyday life.

Readers will learn about how mixtures and solutions are made and measured; what makes dissolving easier; how we can separate mixtures and solutions; what air is made from; and more.

Introduces mixtures and solutions, including the different types of mixtures, how they are used in everyday life, and how they can be physically and chemically separated.

Mixtures And Solutions Exist Everywhere And Students Will Learn How Some Materials Mix Easily While Others Won't Mix At All. Gives Examples Students Can Use To Make A Physical Mixture And Gives Detailed Information On How Different Components Make Up Different Solutions.

This physical science volume addresses mixtures and solutions and the technology involved with creating and studying them. Readers will learn about the methods that chemistry pioneers used to arrive at an understanding of the nature of mixtures. Readers will learn how to distinguish mixtures from solutions. Historical examples and contemporary examples from the fields of pharmacology and microelectronics will promote interest and understanding. Diagrams and colorful photographs of scientists at work will help make complex scientific concepts easier for elementary readers to understand.

Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry by McMurry, Ballantine, Hoeger, and Peterson provides background in chemistry and biochemistry with a relatable context to ensure students of all disciplines gain an appreciation of chemistry's significance in everyday life. Known for its clarity and concise presentation, this book balances chemical concepts with examples, drawn from students' everyday lives and experiences, to explain the quantitative aspects of chemistry and provide deeper insight into theoretical principles. The Seventh Edition focuses on making connections between General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry through a number of new and updated features -- including all-new Mastering Reactions boxes, Chemistry in Action boxes, new and revised chapter problems that strengthen the ties between major concepts in each chapter, practical applications, and much more.

An introduction to solutions and mixtures through a variety of experiments and examples of how they're used in everyday life.

Compiling, comparing, and analyzing research from a wide range of abstracts, journal articles, and Web sites, this reference examines the properties, function, and behavior of binary, ternary, and multicomponent mixtures in the presence and absence of solutes. The author uniformly presents extensive data on the properties of solvent mixtures and describes their structures and interactions. He details the impact of preferential solvation on the environment, action, and components of chemical systems. The book highlights experimental approaches to determine when, and to what extent, preferential solvation has taken place and models for organic, ionic, macromolecular, and biochemical solutes.

The most comprehensive, single-volume guide to conductingexperiments with mixtures "If one is involved, or heavily interested, in experiments onmixtures of ingredients, one must obtain this book. It is, as wasthe first edition, the definitive work." -Short Book Reviews (Publication of the International StatisticalInstitute) "The text contains many examples with worked solutions and with itsextensive coverage of the subject matter will prove invaluable tothose in the industrial and educational sectors whose work involvesthe design and analysis of mixture experiments." -Journal of the Royal Statistical Society "The author has done a great job in presenting the vitalinformation on experiments with mixtures in a lucid and readablestyle. . . . A very informative, interesting, and useful book on animportant statistical topic." -Zentralblatt fur Mathematik und Ihre Grenzgebiete Experiments with Mixtures shows researchers and students how todesign and set up mixture experiments, then analyze the data anddraw inferences from the results. Virtually every technique thathas appeared in the literature of mixtures can be found here, andcomputing formulas for each method are provided with completelyworked examples. Almost all of the numerical examples are takenfrom real experiments. Coverage begins with Scheffe latticedesigns, introducing the use of independent variables, and endswith the most current methods. New material includes: * Multiple response cases * Residuals and least-squares estimates * Categories of components: Mixtures of mixtures * Fixed as well as variable values for the major componentproportions * Leverage and the Hat Matrix * Fitting a slack-variable model * Estimating components of variances in a mixed model using ANOVAtable entries * Clarification of blocking mates and choice of mates * Optimizing several responses simultaneously * Biplots for multiple responses
