What are the differences between a mixture and a solution?
Mixture- easily separated, physical properties do not change
Solution- not easily separated, physical properties do change

A teacher puts 3 different colored liquids in a cup. The liquids separate into different layers by color. Then the teacher puts a ball into the cup. The ball floats in the second layer. What can be said about the density of the ball?
The density of the ball is equal to the density of the liquid in the second layer.
The density of the ball is more dense than the first layer.
The density of the ball is less dense than the bottom layer.

Compare the relative densities of a diet soda and a regular soda based on the picture.
Diet soda is less dense than water
Regular soda is more dense than water
This is because diet soda has less mass than regular soda.

What is a biotic factor and give an example.
Abiotic factors are nonliving things in an environment
Example: dirt, water, sun, etc.
Biotic factors are living things in an environment
Example: Animals, plants, insects
