PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: Students are already aware of:

 Properties of matter
 Definition of mixtures
 Difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures
 Some of the methods of separating substances like filtration, evaporation,
sedimentation and decantation.

TEACHING AIDS: Ammonium chloride, Sodium chloride, sand, Copper Sulphate, china dish,
kerosene oil, water, beakers, funnel, watch glass,spirit lamp,filter paper, tripod stand, separating
funnel, AV module.

INTRODUCTION:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

Teacher: Name some products that you use
almost every day that are made up of more
than one substance?
Teacher: What do we call such substances?
Teacher: What do you understand by
mixtures?
Teacher: Suppose your mother made poha for
breakfast for you and it has a lot of green
Student: Shampoo, toothpaste, milk, soap,
drinking water, salt, salad etc.
Student: Mixtures
Student: Mixtures are made by more than one
kind of pure form of matter.
Student: We will remove chillies.
chillies in it and you are not too fond of it. So
what will you do?
Teacher: What are the sources of drinking
water?
Teacher: Does water from rivers and lakes
directly come to our home?
Teacher: In all these processes what exactly are
we doing?
Teacher: Yes, in order to obtain a pure
substance or desirable substance or to remove
an undesirable substance, we often need to
separate the components of a mixture.
PRESENTATION:
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
Teacher Conducts an activity by making three
groups (4 Students).Each group is assigned a
workstation and an ‘Observation Sheet’ to
enter their findings.
Teacher asks each group to tell the
components given them for making a mixture.
Based on the findings of each group, teacher
explains different methods of separating
mixtures in detail with the help of power point
presentation.
Teacher: For separating the components of a
mixture we take advantage of their
characteristic properties.
Teacher reads out the findings of Group 1 and
then explains the method of separating a
mixture of kerosene oil and water.
Teacher: What do you call a mixture of
kerosene oil and water?
Teacher: Why?
Teacher: This shows that density of water is
more than kerosene oil. Such a mixture can be
separated by using a separating funnel.
Student: River, lakes ponds etc.
Student: No, it gets filtered and then supplied
in our homes.
Student: We are separating pure substances
from mixtures.
STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
Each group observes their workstation
carefully.
GROUP 1: Kerosene oil and water
GROUP 2: Ammonium chloride
and Sodium chloride
GROUP 3: Copper Sulphate, Sand and water
Each group makes a mixture of the
components given to them. After studying the
mixture carefully and discussing amongst its
group member, each group enters their findings
in the ‘Observation Sheet’. Rest of the class
follows the activity attentively.
Observation sheet presented by :
GROUP 1:
WORKSTATION 1(ROLL NO: 31 to 34)
OBSERVATION SHEET
1. MIXTURE: Kerosene oil + Water
2. HETEROGENEOUS/
/HOMOGENEOUS: Heterogeneous
3. STABLE: Unstable
4. PROPERTIES OF COMPONENTS:
 Kerosene oil is lighter than water
5. POSSIBLE METHOD OF SEPARATION:
Separating funnel or decantation
Student: Immiscible mixture
Student: Kerosene oil floats on water and
forms a separate layer.
Teacher assembles the apparatus &
demonstrates the separation method.
Teacher: Name one more method which can be
used here.
Teacher: Where else we can use this method
Teacher reads out the findings of Group 2 and
then explains the method of separating a
mixture of sublimable solid and non-
sublimable solid by using AV module.
Teacher: Where do we see the process of
sublimation happening in our day to day life?
Teacher: A mixture of Copper sulphate+ sand+
water can easily be separated by filtration
followed by evaporation leading to the
formation of crystals of copper sulphate.
Teacher: How this method is useful in our
daily life?
Teacher Shows the apparatus assembled and
explains the process of separation.
We studied some of the separation techniques
for mixtures today.
Student: Decantation
Student: In separation of oil and water
GROUP 2:
WORKSTATION 2(ROLL NO: 35 to 38)
OBSERVATION SHEET
1. MIXTURE: Ammonium chloride +Sodium
chloride
2. HETEROGENEOUS/
/HOMOGENEOUS: Heterogeneous
3. STABLE: stable
4. PROPERTIES OF COMPONENTS:
 Sodium chloride non-sublimable
 Ammonium chloride sublimable
5. POSSIBLE METHOD OF SEPARATION:
Sublimation
Student: Naphthalene balls undergoing
sublimation.
GROUP 3:
WORKSTATION 3(ROLL NO: 39 to 42)
OBSERVATION SHEET
1. MIXTURE: Copper Sulphate+ sand+ water
2. HETEROGENEOUS/
/HOMOGENEOUS: Heterogeneous
3. STABLE: Unstable
4. PROPERTIES OF COMPONENTS:
 Copper Sulphate soluble in water
 Sand insoluble in water
5. POSSIBLE METHOD OF SEPARATION:
Filtration, evaporation
Student: For obtaining salt from sea water by
evaporation and filtration done by water
treatment plants
RECAPITULATION:

 How can we separate a mixture of

 Camphor and sand
 Sugar and water
 Chalk powder and water
 Oil and water
 Sand, Naphthalene and Salt
 Why separation of mixtures is needed?

HOME ASSIGNMENTS:

 Take an earthern pot(matka),some pebbles and some sand. Now design a small scale
filtration plant that you could use to clear impure water(muddy).

VALUES: Working in group, sharing information.

SKILLS DEVELOPED: Thinking skills, observation skills, handling apparatus.
