Mixing Green Paint

Comparing Mixtures
Do the problems in this activity with the orange juice applet to learn more about proprotionality and ratios. In the first section, determine whether or not one mixture in each pair will taste more "organey" than the other or if they will taste the same. By the time you are done the second section, you must be able to share a method of determining reliably which mixture is more "organgey" than the other or if they are the same. Be sure to record everything someone else would need to know to achieve the same results.
