Grade 5 Science · Mixtures and Solutions
Build Grade 5 Science skills with five 10-question practice tests on mixtures, solutions, solutes, solvents, dissolving, concentration, separation methods, and scientific evidence.
These Grade 5 Science practice tests help students describe mixtures and solutions using observations and evidence. Students identify solutes and solvents, explain dissolving and concentration, choose physical separation methods, plan fair investigations, and apply conservation of matter.
Read the conditions carefully. Ask which substances are present, whether one substance dissolves in another, which property allows separation, and what evidence supports the conclusion. In investigation questions, identify the variable being changed and the result being measured.

4. Test
A 10-question Grade 5 Science practice test on mixtures, solutions, solutes, solvents, dissolving, concentration, separation methods, and evidence.
Use the observations and conditions in each question to identify the mixture, solution, dissolving process, separation method, or investigation practice.

Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Filtration.
A filter traps the sand while water passes through.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Evaporate the water and collect the salt left behind..
When water evaporates, the dissolved salt remains as a solid.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Chromatography.
Chromatography can separate ink components as they move different distances through a material.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is Magnetism.
Iron is attracted to a magnet while plastic is not.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Particle size.
A screen can separate particles based on their different sizes.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is The filter contains trapped particles and the water below is clearer..
Trapped particles and clearer water are evidence that filtration removed some solid material.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Water changes to vapor while salt remains as a solid under the test conditions..
The substances have different behaviors when water leaves the solution as vapor.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is Filter out the sand, then evaporate the water to collect the salt..
Filtration removes insoluble sand, and evaporation leaves dissolved salt behind.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is A process that separates substances without forming a new substance..
Physical separation uses properties such as size or solubility without changing the substances into new ones.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Some sand particles remain in the water after filtering..
Remaining sand shows that not all of the intended solid was removed.
A solution is a uniform mixture in which one substance dissolves in another substance.
Mixtures can often be separated using physical properties such as particle size, magnetism, solubility, or boiling behavior.
