Plan and conduct an investigation to demonstrate that mixtures are combinations of substances.
Clarification statement: Emphasis should be on analyzing the physical changes that occur as mixtures are formed and/or separated. Examples of common mixtures could include salt water, oil and vinegar, and air.
Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to separation by evaporation, filtration and magnetism.
Note: this is a NYSED-specific performance expectation that is different from the Next Generation Science Standards.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-PS1-8 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
- Plan and conduct an investigation to demonstrate that mixtures are combinations of substances.
- PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter
- Mixtures are physical combinations of one or more samples of matter and can be separated by physical means.
- Patterns
- Macroscopic patterns are related to the nature of microscopic and atomic-level structure.
