This interactive PowerPoint lesson introduces students to the separation techniques of evaporation and crystallization, with a focus on separating salt from rock salt. Ideal for middle and high school science lessons, the resource combines theory and hands-on practice to develop key skills in scientific methods and apparatus use.
Students will:
- Define evaporation (change from liquid to gas) and crystallization (formation of solid crystals from a solution).
- Learn how to apply these methods to extract salt from rock salt.
- Follow a clear, step-by-step practical demonstration, including using filtration to remove insoluble particles and evaporating water to crystallize salt.
- Complete engaging activities such as fill-in-the-gap exercises, ordering steps, and review questions to solidify understanding.
The lesson includes diagrams for apparatus setup, explanations of key terms, and review tasks that explore why filtering works for certain mixtures but not others. It also integrates critical thinking with questions about particle sizes, solubility, and the practical applications of these separation techniques.
