Week 1 Lesson A
Topic: Solids, liquids and gases 52
Ÿ All matter is made up of particles
Ÿ The particles are arranged differently in solids, liquids and gases

Week 1 Lesson B
Topic: A mixture of two solids 52
• A mixture consists of at least two different substances/materials mixed together
• In some mixtures, the different substances are still clearly visible after mixing
• Make a mixture of two solids

Week 1 Lesson C
Topic: Mixtures with liquids 52
• A mixture consists of at least two different substances/materials mixed together

Reflection
Think about and make a note of: What went well? What did not go well? What did the learners find difficult or easy to What will you change next time? Why?
understand or do? What will you do to support or extend learners? Did you cover all the work set for the week? If not, how will
you get back on track?

Week 2 Lesson A
Topic: Separating mixtures 52
• The substances in some mixtures can be separated by physical means such as sieving,
filtering, hand sorting, settling and decanting
• Use some methods to separate mixtures
• Draw and write about mixtures

Week 2 Lesson B
Topic: Solutions are mixtures 53
• Solutions are also mixtures
• Some solutions can be made by mixing a solid and a liquid together such as sugar and water,
salt and water

Week 2 Lesson C
Topic: Solutions have a uniform appearance 53
• Solutions are uniform in appearance
• The solid cannot be seen after mixing

Week 3 Lesson A
Topic: Solutes can dissolve 53
Ÿ Soluble solids can dissolve in water

Week 3 Lesson B
Topic: Separating solutions 53
Ÿ The substances in solutions cannot be separated by sieving, filtering, hand sorting, settling
and decanting
Ÿ Some solutes can be recovered by evaporating the solvent
Ÿ When substances dissolve, solute particles become dispersed in the spaces between the
solvent particles

Week 3 Lesson C
Topic: Crystallisation 53
Ÿ Give examples of solutions that will crystallise
Ÿ Draw and write about crystallisation

Week 5 Lesson A
Topic: Factors that affect dissolving 54
• Factors that affect the rate of dissolving – temperature of the mixture, stirring or shaking the
mixture, grain size of the solute

Week 5 Lesson B
Topic: Investigating and recording rates of dissolving 54
• Investigate, measure and record the time taken to dissolve a solute
- In hot or cold water
- When stirring
- Using coarse soar fine salt

Week 5 Lesson C
Topic: Water pollution in the environment 55
Ÿ In the environment, many things mix or dissolve in water
