Lesson 22: Separating Mixtures Using Magnet

Guide Card
Introduction: What I Need to Know?

Magnetism is an invisible force that can attract (or repel) certain materials, such as iron and steel.
This force is called magnetic field and is created by magnets. What is magnet? Magnets are objects
made of magnetic materials that produce a magnetic field. Magnets pull other objects made of magnetic
materials towards them. They will either attracts or repel other magnets.
Magnetism is a process of separating mixture which magnetically susceptible material is
attracted from a mixture using a magnetic force. It is a form of separating mixtures which involves using
magnet to attract another magnetic object away from the substance it is in. Some examples of separating
magnetic substances from no magnetic substances are: separating iron nails from glass chippings and
separating iron paper clips from saw dusts. Magnetic separators are used in factories. Materials are put
on a conveyor belt that is spun by magnetic wheels. As the objects are moved upside down the non-
magnetic objects fall off and the magnetic ones stay on. This separation technique can also be useful in
mining as it is attracted to a magnet.
Now, are you ready to be magnified and be separated from the mixture you are with now?
Enjoy and have fun while learning!!!

Lesson 23: Benefits of Separating Mixture Using Magnets

Guide Card
Introduction: What I Need To Know?
You have learned from the previous lesson that magnet is anything that carries a static magnetic
field around with it. For many instances, magnets are used to separate substances that are mixed with a
material that makes it impure and hinder that material from being completely useful. Therefore, the
components of a mixture are separated to be able to purify each substance and maximize the use of each
purified substance.
This process of separation is usually done in mining companies. They use magnets to attract
irons or metals away from their mines. For example, mining of gold instead of using hands to separate
the non-gold particles, we can use magnets to easily and fastly get and separate the non-gold particles.
Recycling centers use magnets to separate components from recycling, isolate metals and purify ores.
Now, are you ready to be amazed how beneficial magnets in separating mixtures are?
Let’s start the journey to learning!
Enjoy!!!

Discussion of the Activity

Our bodies are made up electrons too. Spinning electrons have magnetic fields around them so
we could say that electrons are “magnets” too. With this, we can say that our body is magnetic in nature.
With this, aside from separating mixtures in the outside environment, the use of the magnets in
the medical sciences is very affective. We can use magnet therapy for the pain management without any

7
use of the medicines. The magnets can stimulate the nerves in the human body and increase the blood
circulation, which carries oxygen to the tissues. The magnet are used to heal the pains and the wounds of
the athletes. Doctors uses the magnets to cure arthritis, gout, spondylitis and other problems related to
the nervous system. Magnetic mattress are used for relaxing the body. In MRI we use the magnets.
Magnets are used to cure the depression, headaches and migraines

Lesson 24: Hand Picking

Guide Card
Introduction

Hi there young researchers! I know you will agree that there are many things around us which we cannot
easily understand or explain. But this only inspire us to know more and be curious to answer our questions. Of
course we have demonstrated techniques to separate mixtures . Isn’t it exciting holding the glasses with
different mixtures and slowly in front of our eyes some changes occur! Now, don’t be nervous, were going to do
a simple experiment in separating mixtures. It is called hand picking.
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. Have you ever seen your mother picking out impurities by hand from rice grains?
These separation techniques in which substances in a mixture can be separated by just picking them out by hand is
called Handpicking. This method can be used to separate slightly larger pieces of dirt, stones and husk from the
grains because the quantity of such impurities is usually not very large.

Learning Competency
Enumerate techniques in separating mixtures such as picking, winnowing, decantation, use of
magnet, sieving, filtering, and evaporation

 Activity Card
It is not only in separating grains and mongo seeds or separating red marbles and green marbles we use
the method of hand picking. Let us go to the garden and inspect the leaves of plants….
When there are hundreds of insects attacking a plant at the same time, using some sort of insecticidal
spray may well be necessary. But if the damage is caused by a small number of insects, hand picking the culprits
can be as effective and as fast. In fact, it’s usually faster.
I’m going to show you how hand picking can be used to save our precious plants

1. Use an old soft brush or a used soft cotton cloth wetted with alcohol to remove aphids, scales, and
mealy bugs.

2. Run the infested plant surfaces in between your fingers to kill aphids.

3. Use a pointed wooden/bamboo stick to pick caterpillars. You can also use improvised tongs,
pinchers, or tweezers.

13
4. Early removal of the diseased leaves is also helpful to prevent disease transmission to the rests of the
plants.

5. Handpick beetles and caterpillars and drown them in soapy water. Japanese beetles play dead when
disturbed. Shake the plant onto an old newspaper for the easy collection. Chicken also feast on them.

6. Handpick, crush, and kill insect pests with your bare hands.

Reminders:
Visit your plants daily or several times in a week to monitor the presence of pests. Careful
observation leads to successful handpicking of the pests. Look out for the pests that fly or crawl into
your garden and those that come out from the soil.
·Most of the insect pest blend nicely with the leaves. Make a thorough inspection with very observant
eyes.
·Look also for the pests' possible hiding places, like under the plant debris and on the soil.
·Always inspect the underside of leaves. Remove the eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults that you come
across.
·Know the beneficial insects and be able to identify them so that you will not kill them by mistake.
·You cannot completely get rid of the plant pests but you can reduce their population.

Lesson 25: Winnowing

Guide Card
Introduction

Hello again young scientist! You will have another simple experiment in separating mixtures.
Isn’t it exciting to unravel these experiments using common household ingredients, added some
ingenuity in our parts and eureka!
Now, go to the kitchen and open the cupboard for the things needed for our investigation.
Winnowing is based on the fact that if mixture is containing two components and one is lighter
than another one, then both the components can be separated by blow of air. Mixture is allowed to fall
from a height. Lighter component gets separated from heavier component due to wind. In its simplest
form it involves throwing the mixture into the air so that the wind blows away the lighter chaff, while
the heavier grains fall back down for recovery.

It is very important to take care of our health. Let’s try limiting highly and ultra-processed foods.
Instead go for vegetables and fruits. The foods we eat have big effects on our health and quality of life.

20
Thus, were going to stroll around the garden for our experiment.
Do you know that winnowing is an agricultural method developed by ancient cultures? Everyone
can do it because it doesn’t require too much skill. Also it is economic friendly.
Winnowing is a process used to separate the grain from the chaff. Chaff is considered trash this
is the husks of the grain. It uses the air in removing the chaff. The wind will carry lighter particles and
heavier particles will settle at the bottom.
Whether you’re social distancing, isolating or quarantine due to the current Coronavirus
(COVID-19) outbreak, there are still ways to do this experiment.
You are going to roast peanut seeds— Blow air across the surface while agitating the peanuts to
separate the peanut seeds from the chaff. How are we going to do it? Let’s find out how.

Step 1: Gather the materials

Gather the peanuts, a plate, inductive/gas stove and a spoon. Turn on the stove and keep the pan on it.
Transfer the peanuts in to the pan

Step 2 : Roast the peanuts

Regularly stir the peanuts with a spoon while they heat. Heat till they roast; you will notice the skin turn
darker. Don’t let them burn. Transfer the peanuts to a plate

Play!

Once the peanuts have cooled, roll the peanuts between the palms of your hands till the skin peel off.
The plate will now have the chaff and the peanuts.
Blow over the mixture; you should observe the light particles (chaff) fly away leaving behind the heavy
particles (peanuts).
