Beaker $1$ contains a true solution, beaker $2$ contains a colloid and Beaker $3$ contains a suspension. Tabulate the characteristics of each mixture in the following table.

Activity	Solution	Colloid	Suspension
Filtering using a filter paper	Particles can not be separated by filtration	_____	_____
Passing an intense beam of light	The path of the light beam is not visible	The path of the light beam is visible	_____
Keep it undisturbed	_____	_____	Particles settle down

 

Beaker -$1$ contains a true solution. Beaker- $2$ contains a colloid and Beaker - $3$ contains a suspension. Which mixture in these beakers has the smallest particle size? How was this identified?

Evaluate the following mixtures: Ink, muddy water, fog, atmospheric air, milk, sugar solution, dilute rice water. Classify them into true solution, colloid and suspension.
 

Have you noticed that the path of the light beam can be clearly seen due to the dust particles in a cinema theatre and in smart classrooms where visuals are shown using a projector? What is the reason behind this? 

Tabulate the mixtures that we use in our daily life into solutions, colloids and suspensions. Are colloids and suspensions homogeneous mixtures? 
 

Most of the juices that we drink are liquids in the colloidal form. Such juices and liquids are available in the market. They do not settle down even after prolonged storage. How are they retained as such for long periods of time without settling down?
