Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of distillation. Explain how it separates components of a solution through boiling and condensation.

Discuss the importance of distillation in providing freshwater in arid regions, highlighting its real-world applications.

Explain the process of distillation using a saltwater solution as an example. Describe each stage of the desalination process.

Introduce the video 'Separating Solutions – Distillation' to visually demonstrate the setup and operation of a distillation apparatus.

Engage students in a discussion about the applications of distillation and desalination plants in regions with limited freshwater sources.

Watch the video 'Separating Mixtures – Evaporation' to understand how evaporation plays a role in the distillation process.

Conduct a simple distillation experiment using a saltwater solution to demonstrate the separation of salt and water.

Use the video 'Separating Mixtures – Filtration' to compare and contrast different methods of separating mixtures.

Have students research and present on different types of distillation methods and their uses in various industries.

Use the assessment 'Separating Mixtures – Filtering' to evaluate students' understanding of different separation techniques.

Reflect on the importance of distillation in providing clean water and its impact on communities with limited resources.

Administer the 'Mixtures and Solutions – Comprehension' assessment to test students' understanding of the concepts covered.

Encourage students to explore further by researching the latest advancements in desalination technology and its environmental impacts.
