In this activity, you'll have the opportunity to look at different aspects of dissolving and what happens to a solid when it dissolves.

Where does the solid go?

  ... in a cup of coffee, for example.

What happens if you try to separate the solid from the solution?

Can you separate it?

What happens if you heat it?

So, see whether you can follow these arguments through logically as you work through the questions.

Are you ready to begin, science detective?
