Lesson Plan: Concept Teaching

Grade: VI
Subject: Science
Duration: 10 Minutes
Topic: Mixtures

Specific Objectives: Students will be able to:

Infer a definition of Mixtures.
Describe the characteristics of mixtures.
Identify examples of mixtures from surrounding.
Explain uses of common mixtures in daily life.

Teaching Resources: Board, Markers, Visual Images (salad, mixture of air, mixture of salt and
water)

Methodology: Deductive Approach

Plan for time and space: The duration for lesson is 10 minutes, may not exceed more than 12
minutes. The class will be arrange in the manner of rows.

Motivational Activity:
What is your most favorite drink in Aftaar?
When desired answer (juice, sharbat) is drawn out, the teacher will ask how your favorite drink is
made.
When the student is describing the process, emphasize the word "Mix" so that it is easy to relate
with the topic later on.
After the student is finished then ask so since if it is mixed can we say that it is a mixture of
water, sugar, and Rooh Afza. Following the activity, the teacher will introduce today’s topic:
Mixtures.
Development: Before the beginning of the lesson, the teacher will clarify the aims of the lesson
to the students as follows:
Infer a definition of Mixtures.
Describe the characteristics of mixtures.
Identify examples of mixtures from surrounding.
Explain uses of common mixtures in daily life.

Then the teacher will define the term mixture

“A mixture is formed when two or more different substances are combined physically.”
The teacher will further tell the students that:
 Mixtures are not chemically combined, it means they do not undergo a chemical reaction
to form new substances and sustain their individual chemical identities and properties.
 The substances in a mixture can be solids, liquids, and gases.
 Mixture possesses the properties of its components, which mean that the characteristics
or qualities of the individual substances in the mixture are retained with the mixture. In
other words, the properties of each component substance are still present and observable
in the mixture.
 We can change with the amount of substances in mixtures.
After explaining the concept, the teacher will then provide examples of mixtures to the students.
Such as salad is a mixture of different vegetables, air is a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon
dioxide and other gases and mixture of salt and water. The teacher will also display visual
images of these examples to aid comprehension. The teacher will then provide additional
examples such as mixture of water and sand, fruit chart, fruit juice, milk, blood, soil etc.
Then the teacher will tell the non-examples of mixtures such as a pure water, pure gold, copper
wire etc.
Now the teacher will provide the worksheet to the students to ensure their understanding and
building the concepts ahead.
Choose if the following statements are true or false.
1. Mixtures are form through chemical reactions. (True/False)
2. Mixtures retain the individual properties of their components. (True/False)
3. Air is consider a mixture because it contains only one type of gas. (True/False)
 4. Changing the amount of substances in a mixture does not affect its properties.
(True/False)
5. Pure water is an example of a mixture. (True/False)
6. Salad is a mixture because it consists of different types of vegetables. (True/False)
7. Copper wire is an example of a mixture. (True/False)
8. Mixtures undergo chemical reactions to form new substances. (True/False)
9. A mixture of salt and water is an example of a mixture. (True/False)
10. Mixtures can only be composed of solids. (True/False)

Assessment: Teacher will ask students to write examples of mixtures from their surroundings
along with their usage in daily lives.
