In the Marshmallows, Mud Pies, and Messy Rooms leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through easily understood text and colorful, fun illustrations and photographs. Children discover that in chemistry a mixture is any two or more things mixed together. Mixtures can be made up of large things or things as small as molecules. For example, salt water is a mixture of salt molecules and water molecules. (Atoms and molecules are defined.) Using the hands and using tools are different methods for separating mixtures.

In the Marshmallows, Mud Pies, and Messy Rooms leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through easily understood text and colorful, fun illustrations and photographs. Children discover that in chemistry a mixture is any two or more things mixed together. Mixtures can be made up of large things or things as small as molecules. For example, salt water is a mixture of salt molecules and water molecules. (Atoms and molecules are defined.) Using the hands and using tools are different methods for separating mixtures. Mixtures of molecules can be separated using processes such as paper chromatography, filtration, or evaporation. Soap can be used to separate oil from water because a soap molecule has an oily end and a watery end. The oily ends of soap molecules attract oil molecules, causing the soap molecules form a ball around the oil, with the watery end of the soap molecules on the outside of the ball. This allows the soap molecules to interact with water, and the oil can be rinsed away. Examples of mixtures we use every day are shown. A pronunciation guide for scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5. Lexile measure 500L. Word count 302.
Dr. Rebecca Woodbury has explored how students learn for over two decades. Starting as a research scientist in the field of biophysical chemistry, she left academia to create quality educational support materials for students and educators. She started Gravitas Publications Inc. in 2003 and introduced the Real Science-4-Kids product line for home educators. Dr. Woodbury has been dedicated to continually improving and enhancing the Real Science-4-Kids books over the years. In 2020, she took a significant step forward by introducing RATATAZ. This innovative learning model seamlessly blends in-depth knowledge content with student-driven inquiries. Furthermore, it emphasizes project-based learning, ensuring that students not only consume information but also apply it practically. Additionally, RATATAZ focuses on retrieval practice, ensuring students can readily recall and utilize what they've learned. It's a comprehensive approach designed for optimal student engagement and retention.In 2021, Dr. Woodbury went back to graduate school to learn more about curriculum and instructional design from an educators perspective. She completed her M.Ed. in the spring of 2024. Through this endeavor, Dr. Woodbury has gained significant insight into how students learn, best practices for curriculum design, and effective assessments. Our updated Science series, new Reader series and RATATAZ kits demonstrate this new information. In December of 2023, Dr. Woodbury relocated her team to Tempe, AZ. In the new location, Gravitas Publications Inc. will be able to better serve both homeschool parents and school educators.
