What is an element

What is a solution
A mixture where a solute dissolves completely in a solvent to make a uniform mixture.
What is a colloid
A mixture where tiny particles are spread evenly but do not settle, making it cloudy.

What is an aqueous solution
A solution where water is the solvent.
What is a saturated solution
A solution that cannot dissolve more solute at a given temperature.
What is a concentrated solution
Contains a large amount of solute.
What is a dilute solution
Contains a small amount of solute.
What is solubility
The amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a certain temperature.
What is the solute
The substance that dissolves.
What is the solvent
The liquid that dissolves the solute.
What is the solution
The final mixture of solute and solvent.
Why is water called the universal solvent
Because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.
How does temperature affect solubility
Higher temperatures increase solubility.
What is coagulation
A process where chemicals cause dirt particles to clump together.
What is flocculation
The stirring of a liquid to make clumps form bigger particles.
What is sedimentation
When heavy clumps sink to the bottom.
What is filtration
When a mixture passes through a filter to trap particles.
What is sterilisation
The process of using chemicals or heat to kill microbes.
What is a solar eclipse
When the Moon blocks sunlight from reaching Earth.
What is a lunar eclipse
When the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon.
What is potable water
Safe drinking water.

What is centrifuging
Spinning mixtures fast so heavy particles move outward and separate.
What is distillation
Separating liquids based on different boiling points.
What is decantation
Pouring off the liquid from the top, leaving solids behind.
What is crystallisation
Forming solid crystals from a solution.
What is chromatography
A method that separates substances based on how far they travel on paper.
What is a homogeneous mixture
Evenly mixed with no visible particles.
What is a heterogeneous mixture
Not evenly mixed, with visible differences.
What is a structural adaptation
A physical feature that helps survival.
What is a physiological adaptation
An automatic body process that helps survival.

What is a galaxy
A massive system of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity.
What is a food chain
A sequence that shows who eats whom for energy.
What is a food web
A group of connected food chains in an ecosystem.
What is an independent variable
The factor you change in an experiment.
What is a dependent variable
The factor you measure in an experiment.
What are adaptations
Traits that help organisms survive in their environment.
What is mutualism
A relationship where both organisms benefit.
What is commensalism
A relationship where one benefits and the other is unaffected.
