Key Stage 2

Meaning

A solution is a mixture where a substance is dissolved in a liquid.

About Solutions

For most solutions the liquid is water.
Some solids dissolve in water to make a solution.
Once a substance is dissolved in water it is often not possible to see it anymore.
If a substance has a colour before it is dissolved the solution be will that colour.

Examples

Salt Sugar

Salt dissolves in water to make a solution called Brine. Sugar dissolves in water to make a solution.

Key Stage 3

Meaning

A solution is a mixture where a substance is dissolved in a liquid.

About Solutions

Solutions are usually made of liquid that is known as a solvent and a solid which is known as a solute.
When a solute dissolves in a solvent it becomes a solution.
Some solutions are a mixture of two solvents, for example water and ethanol.

Examples
