As a consumer knowing your rights is very important. If you are reporting a company for the product the have sold you or something you have paid for, make sure the information you are saying is 100% accurate. If you give false information you can be charged for make wrong accusations about a company.
→ be of acceptable of the quality given to you →Make sure you are fit for their purpose → make sure you match their description → match the sample of the product and demonstration of the model →  be supported.

What did they create?
Richard Pearse created the first plane ever to fly,  on 31 March 1903, nine months before the Wright brothers flew their first aircraft.

What challenges did he face?
People did not believe Richard Pearse created something that could fly. No one really thought his inventions were going to work. Still to this day people believe the Wright brothers created something that could fly before him. 

What helped it succeed?
Other people started thinking about a new transportation, where they could created something that flew, this succeeded because people wouldn't of thought about creating something that flew until Richard Pearse and the Wright Brothers invented it.

Mixtures:
A mixture, from  different substances, not chemically joined.
Concrete for example ( mixture of cement, sand or gravel, and water. Concrete can be altered by substances that make up the mixture.

Separating Mixtures:
There different substances in mixtures are usually easily separated from one another.
Filtration-Separating a Solid mixed with a Liquid.

Solutions:
When salt or sugar 'disappears' into water, we say that the substance has dissolved in the water.
Some substances don't  dissolve (e.g sand will not dissolve in water).

Concentration:
When comparing solutions, it is important to know how much solute has been dissolved in the solvent. Scientists  use the terms dilute and concentrated to describe how 'strong' a solution is.

Saturation:
A solution will become saturated when no more solute will dissolve in the solvent. A solution that is saturated has a high concentration. If some of the solvent evaporates from a saturated solution, solution becomes super saturated and crystals of solute will start to form.

Separating Solutions:
Although a solution is a mixture, the solute cannot be separated from the solvent by filtration. The solute will simply pass through the filter paper.

Distillation- Separating a Solid Dissolved in a liquid:
Evaporation is a simple technique for separating a solid dissolved in a liquid. We need to trap the solvent as it evaporates and condense it back into a liquid. Scientist call this process distillation.

Chromatography: Separating a Mixture of Coloured Compounds:  Chromatography (chroma- Greek for 'colour' and graphy meaning 'words' or 'pictures'. The pigments separate because they have different solubillities  in a solvent. This means that more soluble pigments are carried faster, and therefore further, by the rising solvent.
