Mixture wild cards: four show red and green particles mixed together, matched by two cards reading Particles in a mixture
Opening card set for the snap or wildcard game
Particle wild cards: two more Particles in a mixture cards and four diagrams of a beaker full of blue and red particles
Print with page 1 to complete the particle-mixture set
Saturated solution wild cards: four read Diagram showing a saturated solution; two show particles with an arrow to a ?
Use to check that students can read particle diagrams
Solute wild cards: two diagrams with an arrow to a ?, four reading Diagram showing solute particles in a solution
