KEY POINTS

HANDPICKING: A SEPARATION TECHNIQUE


In our daily lives, we come across so many situations in which we have
to separate some substances from a mixture in order to get a suitable
substance for use. Some of the substances are easily separable just by
taking out the impurities with hand. This method of separation is known
as handpicking.

The substances which are separated with the help of this method can
be impurities which need to be removed or both the substances
which are separated can be useful products.

This method is useful only when the substances which need to be


separated are in small quantity.

The substances in handpicking method can be separated on the basis


of size, color, shape, weight, etc.

For example:
You must have seen your mother or grandmother separates tiny stones
from the rice granules before having it cooked for your meal. In this
scenario, your mother or your grandmother, must have been used
barely her hands to separate the impurities which are the tiny stones
from the useful substance which are the rice granules.

E. Discussing new concepts and The teacher will also lay emphasis on the following:
practicing new skills #2
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Handpicking as a Means of
Separating Solid Mixtures are mentioned below:

Advantages
1. It is the simplest method of separating substances from a mixture.
2. This method doesn’t need any special machinery for the separation
of substances.
3. It takes less time when used for a small quantity.

Disadvantages
1. It is not practical for large amount of substances.
2. It is only possible when components of the mixture are visibly
different in size or the size of each component of the mixture is enough
for a human hand to grasp or pick.

F. Developing mastery MINUTE TO SEPARATE IT!


( 1 class period)
 Let the pupils play the game in separating solid mixtures based
from the Game Show “Minute To Win It.”

 The teacher will be asking volunteer players, one after the


other, to play the game.

 Within the span of 1 minute, the player must be able to


separate the components of the following solid mixtures
below.

 A consequence awaits for those players who can’t finish the


task within 1 minute.

 Non-players must observe attentively the components of each


mixture and must be able to accomplish the table below.

(The teacher will use a one-minute timer for the game which will be
projected using a laptop computer and a projector)

Mixture 1: sand and pebbles


Mixture 2: mixture of different vegetable seeds
Mixture 3: mixed nuts

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson After showing the pictures, the teacher will then ask the following
questions:
1. In which part of the house can you see the object presented by the
pictures? Where can we usually find this object?
2. Who usually use this object?
3. In which activity do we use this object? When do we use this
object?
4. What is the function of this object?
5. How do you call this object?
C. Presenting examples/instances of the Using the pupils’’ responses, the teacher will then inform the pupils
new lesson about the objectives and lesson for the day which is all about
“Separating Mixtures through the process called Sieving.”
D. Discussing new concepts and The teacher will then discuss the following important points about
practicing new skills #1 sieving.

KEY POINTS
Sieving is done by using a device to separate different sizes of
materials. The material is subjected to a mechanical force of vertical
and horizontal movement, with the help of container of mesh or
perforated bottom through which the material is shaken or poured.

Sieving is the separation of mixtures judged by shape and size.

Sieving removes the impurities or separate two useful substances from


a mixture. The sieve only removes or holds particles that are larger
than the pores in the sieve. Therefore, we can design the sieve
according to our need.

In the scientific terms, sieving means an instrument with a perforated


or meshed bottom (having a hole), used for untying coarse from fine
parts of loose matter, for straining liquids, etc., particularly one with
fine meshes or perforations and circular frame.

A real-life example of a sieve is a tea strainer, which is used to


separate tea leaves from the water. The sieve prevents the large
particles which cannot pass through the holes in the sieve and retains
them on the sieve.

Factors to consider in sieving:


1. the type of particles
2. the number of particles
3. the size and thickness of particles and material that need to be
separated
E. Discussing new concepts and The teacher will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of
practicing new skills #2 sieving as a means of separating the components of a mixture.

ADVANTAGES
 It does not require much skill and is a traditional method used
for separation.
 It is a very cheap method as we do not need the installation of
sophisticated equipment.
 Takes lesser time.

DISADVANTAGE
 Since the efficiency of this method is dependent on having a
different particle size, it cannot be used to separate mixtures
which contain particles of the same size.
F. Developing mastery SIEVE IT TO SEPARATE IT!

useful substance from the impurities in a mixture. This is done by using
various methods of which one of them is sieving.
H. Making generalizations and The teacher will let volunteer pupils to describe the process of sieving
abstractions about the lesson as a means of separating the components of a mixture. Furthermore,
he will let other volunteer pupils to identify the advantages and

D. Discussing new concepts and The teacher will then discuss the following concepts:
practicing new skills #1
KEY POINTS
Winnowing is the method of separating mixture in which heavier
components of the mixture are separated from the lighter
components with the help of the wind.

Winnowing is used to separate lighter components of the mixture from


heavier components through the wind.

We must understand that winnowing is the separation of mixtures


judged by size and weight whereas sieving is judged by shape and
size.

Example:
Rice winnowing is a process of separating small and large grains by air
flow practiced since the ancient human history especially in societies
where rice is the main source of carbohydrate (Asia, Africa, and Latin
America).

In open spaces, such as in paddy fields, winnowing process takes


advantages of natural wind blowing at the place. This process is often
used by farmers who are harvesting rice to separate the filled grains
from the empty grains or unwanted matters like weeds, straws, sand,
dust particles, etc. to give cleaner outcome.

Granular Segregation Method in Ancient Traditions by Rahmawati

Sparisoma Viridi, and Mikrajuddin Abdullah)

E. Discussing new concepts and The teacher will also discuss the following advantages and
practicing new skills #2 disadvantages of winnowing as a means of separating mixture.

ADVANTAGES
 Winnowing is a method that does not require machines for
functioning.
 It is based on physical labor, and it takes less time for
processing and very cheap.

DISADVANTAGES
 Winnowing is a method where the heavier components of the
mixture are separated from the lighter substances. This process
is not suitable for the materials that are heavier than grains like
stones.
 This method can be done only with the help of the wind.

F. Developing mastery KNOWING THE BASICS OF WINNOWING
