📚 Part 1: WALT, Success Criteria & Multiple Choice

WALT: We are learning to identify and choose appropriate methods to separate mixtures (filtration, evaporation, distillation, chromatography, magnetism).

Success criteria:

1. I can match each technique to a simple description.

2. I can choose the correct method for a given mixture.

3. I can explain one safety step for practical separation work.

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers, Practical & Teacher Notes

Differentiation strategies:

• Support: Provide a labelled diagram and vocabulary list; allow paired work and scribed answers.

• Most students: Complete MCQs, matching and short answers independently.

• Scaffold: Use sentence starters for step-by-step questions (e.g. "First..., Next..., Finally...").

Extension activities (for advanced learners):

• Design an experiment to separate a salt–sugar mixture and explain how you would test purity.

• Research and report on industrial separation techniques (e.g. fractional distillation of crude oil).

Dyslexia-friendly reading options:

• Read instructions aloud or use text-to-speech.

• Provide high-contrast coloured overlays or printed copies with larger spacing.

• Allow extra time and use clear, short sentences for questions.
