Starter

• Match up the words with the meanings

and stick the sheet in your book
 Objectives
• Plan how to separate different mixtures

• Carry out your experiment to separate

different mixtures

• Understand that mixtures can be easily

separated because the atoms are not
chemically bound
 Do you know your elements,
compounds and mixtures?
• You will have the name or formula of an
element, compound or mixture on your
card

• Go to the window if you have an

element, the door if you have a mixture
or the middle if you have a compound
 Separating mixtures
• You have a experimental toolkit
containing;
– Filter paper
– Filter funnel
– Vinegar
– Pipettes
– Magnet (in plastic bag)
– Beakers
 Separating mixtures
• You need to plan how you are going to
use your experimental toolkit to
separate the following mixtures;

– Iron and Sulphur

– Sand and salt
– Oil and water
– Cream and water
 Task
• Plan how you will separate each of the
mixtures

• Test your method and re-think it if it

does not work

• Write down whether it worked or not

and why
 How did you do?
• Iron and sulphur?
Magnetism
• Sand and salt?
Dissolving then filtering
• Oil and water?
Decanting using a pipette
• Cream and water?
Curdling using vinegar
 Worksheet
• We’ve seen that not all mixtures can be
separated in the same way

• Match the diagrams of the different

methods of separation to it’s name and
what it separates
 Our objectives were to…
• Plan how to separate different mixtures (L5)

• Carry out your experiment to separate

different mixtures (L4)

• Understand that mixtures can be easily

separated because the atoms are not
chemically bound (L6)

• Understand that different separating

methods work for different mixtures (L6)
 Homework
• Revise for your test on atoms, elements,
compounds and mixtures (Everything
you have done so far)

• Due Wednesday 13th October
