In this lesson, students will learn that a mixture is a combination of two or more substances that aren’t chemically joined and can be separated back into their individual substances. They will learn that there are two types of mixtures: heterogeneous and homogeneous and will look at examples of each. They will then look at how these mixtures can be separated before completing a quiz on what they have learnt. Following this, they will carry out 3 investigations of separating mixtures. They will follow the experiment proforma to help them organise, record and analyse their observations before discussing their experiments as a class.

In this lesson, students will be taught what gravity is and how it affects us and how it is different in space. They will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and how weight is different to mass. They will then carry out two experiments- in the first experiment they will measure objects with scales and a newton meter in order to show the difference between weight and mass. After this, they will compare the mass and speed of falling objects to investigate whether the heavier an object, the faster it falls. Both investigations come with a worksheet to follow.
