Learners watch a video and pictures on solid-solid mixtures. Provide learners with solid materials for them to observe, e.g. sand, gari, saw dust, chalk, charcoal and cowpea. learners combine two materials at a time and observe what happens. Learners talk about the mixtures they have formed. Ask learners whether the products they have formed are the same as the individual materials. How will they call the material combinations they have formed? Assist learners to understand that when they mix two or more things together, they form a mixture and that no new thing forms even though the starting and ending substances may look different from each other. For this activity, learners use maize grains and beans, locally woven sieve and calabash bowls to make a solid mixture and physically separate its components.

Ask learners questions to review their understanding of the lesson. Have learners write 3 facts of the lesson on a sheet of paper and it in their pockets and learn it on their way home.
