Understanding Solutions

by: John Haysom and Michael Bowen

Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) sequences provide an important way to enhance students' understanding of important scientific ideas. In this chapter, the series of experiments help students understand solutions. The experiments include concepts such as the distinction between dissolving, reacting, and melting, conservation of mass on dissolving, the size of particles, and how change of volume on dissolving provides evidence for the particulate theory of matter.
