THE OAKWOOD MONTESSORI SCHOOL

WEEKLY LESSON PLAN


Christmas Term
Class: Year 6
Week: 4
Date: Monday, 30 September – Friday, 4 October 2024
Duration: 60 minutes
Subject: Science
Topic: Separating Techniques
Objectives: By the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:
 Separate colloids and solution using evaporation, crystallization, distillation
fractional distillation, centrifugation, etc.

Materials needed: sand, salt, cups, milk, and water

Starter (5 mins)
● The teacher invites the pupils to the work centre.
● The teacher asks the pupils to describe ways of separating suspensions

Procedure:
I. Introduction (5 minutes)

- Introduce the concept of mixtures and ask students to share examples.

- Explain that today, they will become "Mixture Masters" and learn to
separate colloids and solutions.

II. Colloid Challenge (12 minutes)

- Divide students into groups and give each group a colloid mixture.

- Ask them to design an experiment to separate the colloid using filtration,


centrifugation, or distillation.

- Circulate and assist as needed.

III. Solution Challenge (12 minutes)

- Give each group a solution mixture and ask them to design an


experiment to separate the solution using evaporation, distillation, or
chromatography.
- Circulate and assist as needed.

IV. Mixture Masters Showcase (10 minutes)

- Have each group present their results and explain their method.

- Ask the class to guess which mixture was separated using which method.

V. Conclusion (7 minutes)

- Review the differences between colloids and solutions.

- Ask students to reflect on what they learned and how they can apply it in
real-life situations.

VI. Assessment:

- Observe student participation during the activities.

- Review their experiment designs and results.

- Use a rubric to assess their understanding of colloids and solutions.

VI. Modification for Differentiated Instruction:

- For struggling students: Provide additional support and guidance during


the experiment design process.

- For advanced students: Encourage them to design more complex


experiments or research real-life applications of colloid and solution

Age: 10- 11 years

Control of error: Teacher-directed

INDIVIDUAL EXERCISES:

Class Activity. Answer the following questions. (15 mins)

1. Blood can be separated using _________________.


2. Remaining solid on filter paper is known as ________________.( solution, stone,
particles, residue)
3. Two or more substances mingled together, but not chemically combined are
known as _____. ( solution, mixture, residue)
4. Evaporation is used to ______
a. obtain the solute from the solution
b. separate liquids of different boiling points
c. separate solids of different particle size
d. separate the dyes in a marker
5. Air is a mixture of _____. (gases, solids, liquids, liquids and gases )
6. The diagram shows the apparatus for separating soil and water. What are the

labelled parts?
a. A = distillate, B = filtrate
b. A = residue, B = distillate
c. A = residue, B = filtrate
d. A = filtrate, B = residue
7. Which one of the following would you use to separate sand from iron filings?
a. chromatography paper
b. a bar magnet
c. a distillation apparatus
d. filter paper
8. The separation technique that involves heating a solution until the liquid
changes into a gaseous state, leaving behind a solid is known as
a. Chromatography b. sterilization c. decanting d. evaporation
9. What happens when you try to make a solution of salt and oil?
a. It becomes a homogeneous solution, the salt dissolves into the oil
b. It becomes a heterogeneous mixture, the salt doesn't dissolve into the oil
c. The oil can only dissolve a little bit of salt
10.Which of the following is the most heterogeneous mixture?
a. Gasoline b. Distilled water` c. A pizza d. Air

EXTENSION: Draw any separating technique

Separating Techniques

Colloids and Solutions

- Definition: Mixtures in which the particles are dispersed in a medium

- Differences:

- Colloids: particles are bigger than solution particles but smaller than suspension
particles (1-1000 nm)

- Solutions: particles are dissolved and can't be seen (<1 nm)

- Examples:

- Colloids: milk, ink, gelatin

- Solutions: sugar and water, salt and water

Separation Methods

- Filtration:

- Uses a filter paper to separate particles

- Effective for separating colloids and suspensions

- Centrifugation:

- Uses a machine to spin and separate particles

- Effective for separating colloids and solutions

- Evaporation:

- Heats a mixture to separate particles

- Effective for separating solutions

- Distillation:

- Heats a mixture to separate particles based on boiling points


- Effective for separating solutions

- Chromatography:

- Uses a special paper to separate particles based on colour

- Effective for separating colloids and solutions
