### Classify Solutions Activity

**Objective:** Classify each of the following solutions as an unsaturated, a saturated, or a supersaturated solution.

#### Task:
- **a solution that can dissolve additional solute without a change in temperature**
- **an unstable solution in which solute will quickly precipitate**
- **a solution that cannot dissolve additional solute at a given temperature**

#### Answer Bank:
- **unsaturated**
- **supersaturated**
- **saturated**

#### Instructions:
Drag and drop the appropriate term from the Answer Bank into the corresponding box next to each solution description.

**Solution Descriptions:**
1. **a solution that can dissolve additional solute without a change in temperature**  
   - _Identify whether this solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated._
   
2. **an unstable solution in which solute will quickly precipitate**  
   - _Identify whether this solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated._
   
3. **a solution that cannot dissolve additional solute at a given temperature**  
   - _Identify whether this solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated._

**Example Answer Format:**
- _Box 1_ : unsaturated
- _Box 2_ : supersaturated
- _Box 3_ : saturated

### Understanding the Concepts:
- **Unsaturated Solution:** Can dissolve more solute at the given temperature.
- **Saturated Solution:** Contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at the given temperature; no more solute can be dissolved without changing the temperature.
- **Supersaturated Solution:** Contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at the given temperature; solute will precipitate out of this solution.

By completing this activity, students will demonstrate their understanding of the different states of solubility and the behavior of solutions.
