cheerios

goldfish crackers

raisins

granola (we use nut-free)

M&Ms

marshmallows

pretzels

or whatever else you like to eat!

Mix together your favorite food items to make your own snack mix!  Be sure to give it a funny name, and make up an interesting package for it.  How much do you think a bag of your snack mix would sell for?

Mixtures, unlike solutions, have parts that can be easily separated out again (e.g., you can pull out the marshmallows, M&Ms, etc.)  In a solution, like lemonade, once the drink mix solids are dissolved in water, you have to wait for the water to evaporate before you can separate the solids back out.
