THEME Material Science

CONTENT 8.1 Mixture

STANDARD

LEARNING 8.1.2 Provide reasoning about the method used to separate a mixture of various
STANDARD materials or objects.

LEARNING By the end of this lesson, students are able to:

OBJECTIVE 1. describe methods to separate mixtures.
2. separate a mixture of various materials or objects.
3. explain through an example why the method is used to separate a
mixture.
4. provide reasoning to separate mixed of several things or materials.
Pupils can
SUCCESS 1. state the methods and tools that suitable to separate several things
CRITERIA or materials.
2. describe 5 methods to separate mixtures which are hand-picking,
sieving, magnetic attraction, floatation and filtration.
3. explain events relating to the concept of separating mixtures at home
suitable methods and tools.
4. state reasons by relating to the sizes, surfaces and characteristics of
the materials.
PRIOR Pupils have learned about the method used to separate a mixture of various
KNOWLEDGE materials or objects in previous lesson.
