Project
Design and create comic strips from real-life examples to differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures with diagrams and illustrate their properties and uses.

Key Points
Use simple characters and everyday examples to show each type.
Key Points / Good Practices
- Show an element as a single character (e.g. gold, oxygen).
- Show a compound as two characters tightly joined (e.g. water = H + O).
- Show a mixture as characters standing together but separable (e.g. salad).
- Add speech bubbles giving each one's property and use.
- Use real-life scenes — a kitchen, a bridge, the air outside.
- Keep panels colourful and label each substance clearly.
A good comic makes the three categories instantly clear through relatable characters and scenes.
