Salt Solution at the Dead Sea

Mixtures & Solutions Adventure Pack

On the shimmering surface of the Dead Sea, the balance of salt and water is shifting.

Mixtures are clouding unexpectedly. Solutions are forming at the wrong concentrations. Solutes are separating from solvents, and evaporation rates are spiking under the desert sun. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the solution system and needs explorers to restore stability before the chemistry of the sea changes completely.

In Salt Solution at the Dead Sea, students are dropped into a high-stakes physical science mission in one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth. By learning how mixtures differ from solutions, how solutes dissolve in solvents, and how concentration and separation methods affect outcomes, explorers must rebalance the brine and stabilize the system.

This adventure blends foundational chemistry concepts with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.

For families or classrooms that want to extend the experience, this Adventure Pack adds a hands-on excavation and collectible cards that bring the chemistry mission into the physical world.

The learning experience is the same whether students use the physical pack or not. The pack simply adds a tactile, collectible layer to the adventure.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Salt Solution at the Dead Sea Adventure Pack explores core mixtures and solutions concepts, including:

• Mixture – Two or more substances combined without forming a new substance
• Solution – A mixture where one substance dissolves evenly in another
• Solute – The substance that is dissolved
• Solvent – The substance that dissolves the solute
• Dissolve – When a solute spreads evenly through a solvent
• Concentration – The amount of solute in a solution
• Filtration – A method of separating solids from liquids
• Evaporation – A method of separating dissolved substances
• Separation – Techniques used to separate mixtures

Each topic appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing learning through exploration rather than memorization.
