Winnowing

Technique in separating
solid-solid mixtures
Children sometimes your viand is a
mixture of potatoes, carrots, meat and
peas.
If you don’t like to eat carrots and peas,
what do you do?
What technique of separating mixtures
do you use to separate carrots and peas
to potato and meat?

Exploration: Group Activity
What happened to the flour as
the wind blows?
Can you separate flour and stone
using a strong wind?
Why do you think so?

Explanation: Discussion
What can you see on the
picture?
How did the girl separate rice
from its husk?

Explanation: Discussion
What situation did the group
show?
Can we use the process of hand
picking in cleaning the
surroundings?

Explanation: Discussion
How did you separate the paper
clips from the bits of paper?

Explanation: Discussion
How are you going to define
the process of winnowing?

Explanation: Discussion
Based from all the activities
you have performed, how are
you going to describe the
process of winnowing?

Explanation: Discussion
What technique did you use to
separate a heavy material from a
lighter one?
How do you do the process of
winnowing?

Explanation: Generalization
Separation process is a method to
achieve any phenomenon that converts a
mixture of chemical substance into two
or more distinct product mixtures, which
may be referred to as mixture. at least
one of which is enriched in one or more
of the mixture's constituents.

Explanation: Generalization
Winnowing is the process by which
we can separate any heavy material
from a lighter one with the use of
wind. It is a relevant method of
separation in case of solid-solid
mixtures having components of
different weights.
Explanation: Generalization
Example:
the wheat grains from the field
still have dried husk and chaff,
which have to be separated and
thrown away before the wheat
can be used.
Explanation: Generalization
The husk is blown away as it is
much lighter than the grain.
So, when the grains are gently
dropped to the ground, only the
wheat grains collect there, while
the husk blows away.
Explanation: Generalization
Do you think the process of
winnowing can be of great
help to community?
How?
