Course Title: Mixtures, Compounds and Elements
Course Summary:
This course introduces learners to the fundamental building blocks of matter — elements, compounds, and mixtures. Students will explore how substances differ in composition and properties, and how they can be identified, separated, and combined through scientific processes.
Through interactive lessons, videos, virtual experiments, and quizzes, learners will:
-
Understand the meaning and differences between elements, compounds, and mixtures.
-
Identify examples of each in everyday life.
-
Learn and apply methods of separating mixtures, such as filtration, evaporation, distillation, and chromatography.
-
Relate these concepts to real-life applications in science and industry.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to classify materials, explain their composition, and describe how scientists use separation techniques to obtain pure substances.
