Activity Overview


It's important for students to understand the differences between elements, compounds, and mixtures, and provide examples of where they appear in real life. This allows students to better distinguish models and the things that make up everything around us! In this activity, students will create a model to represent an element, a compound, and a mixture and then provide examples of each using an image from Photos for Class or creating an illustration.

Student Instructions

Compare the different makeups of elements, compounds, and mixtures in a storyboard by creating a particle diagram. Find two examples of each.

  1. Click "Start Assignment".
  2. Label the first column as Particle Diagram, the second as Example 1, and the third as Example 2.
  3. Label the rows as Element, Compound and Mixture.
  4. Use the ball-and-stick item under Science > Symbols to create a particle diagram for each substance type in the first column.
  5. Write a description of each underneath.
  6. Find examples for each substance type and write the names in the description boxes under the cells for the Example 1 and Example 2 columns.
  7. Use the search bar to use Photos for Class to find images of the examples.
