Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of separating mixtures using filtration and evaporation. Discuss real-world applications such as making coffee and salt farming.

Explain the process of filtration, using examples like separating sand from water. Highlight the roles of residue and filtrate.

Introduce evaporation as a method to separate soluble solids from liquids, using the example of saltwater.

Engage students in a discussion about the differences between filtration and evaporation. Ask them to provide examples of each process in everyday life.

Conduct a hands-on activity where students perform a simple filtration experiment using sand and water.

Guide students through an evaporation experiment by heating a saltwater solution to observe the formation of salt crystals.

Assign students to research and present on a real-world application of filtration or evaporation, such as water purification or salt production.

Use the 'Separating Mixtures – Filtering' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of the filtration process.

Assess students' grasp of evaporation through the 'Separating Solutions – Evaporation' worksheet.

Have students reflect on what they learned about separating mixtures. Encourage them to discuss how these processes are used in everyday life.

Conclude the lesson with a quiz to test students' comprehension of filtration and evaporation.

For further exploration, provide the 'Review – Matter and Materials' assessment to reinforce key concepts.
