Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Learners watch a video and pictures on solid-solid mixtures - Provide learners with solid materials for them to observe, e.g. sand, gari, saw dust, chalk, charcoal and cowpea. - Learners combine two materials at a time and observe what happens - Learners talk about the mixtures they have formed - Ask learners whether the products they have formed are the same as the individual materials. How will they call the material combinations they have formed? - Assist learners to understand that when they mix two or more things together, they form a mixture and that no new thing forms even though the starting and ending substances may look different from each other. - Explain to learners that they have formed a solid-solid mixture - Learners explore ways of separating the components of the solids-solid mixtures they have prepared - Provide more solid materials for learners to do more group activities - Relate the lesson to everyday life. For example, separation of a mixture of groundnut and sand, sand and stone, and maize and chaff, roasted groundnut and its husks - Learners to separate some common solid-solid mixtures such as sand and stone, iron nails and sand, gari and groundnut.
