About this resource
The classification chart shows how broad groups of matter divide into more specific categories. Students fill the blank boxes with examples for the four subtypes after distinguishing mixtures from pure substances. Use familiar examples during discussion and ask students to explain which characteristic places an example on a particular branch.
