Contextualization

Understanding how to separate mixtures is a vital skill in both science and daily life. For instance, think about brewing your morning coffee: you need to separate the coffee grounds from the water to enjoy your drink. Similarly, industries such as pharmaceuticals, food production, and water treatment rely on various separation techniques to guarantee the quality and purity of their products. Grasping these methods allows us to better navigate our world and effectively tackle practical challenges.

Kegiatan Awal

Initial Activity

To get students engaged, present them with a challenge:

Show a brief video (2-3 minutes) about the desalination of seawater.
Afterward, pose this thought-provoking question: "How do you think we can convert seawater into drinking water?"
Give students time to discuss their ideas before moving on to explain the separation methods.

Tantangan Kecil

Separation of Water and Salt Mixture

Students will perform a hands-on experiment to separate a mixture of water and salt using the evaporation method.

1. Group students into teams of 4 to 5.

2. Give each group a mixture of water and salt in a beaker.

3. Instruct them to heat the mixture safely, using an electric heater or a candle, until all the water evaporates, leaving the salt behind.

4. Encourage students to observe the process and jot down their observations.

5. After the experiment, have each group discuss and document their conclusions regarding what occurred during evaporation and how the separation was achieved.

Demonstrate the practical application of the evaporation method to separate a homogeneous mixture of water and salt, enhancing understanding of the underlying concepts.

**Durasi: (30 - 35 minutes)

Latihan Evaluasi

1. Explain why evaporation is an effective method for separating a mixture of water and salt.

2. Describe a common scenario where filtration would be the best method for separation.

3. What method would you use to separate a mixture of sand and water? Justify your choice.

4. Research and outline an industrial process that employs distillation for separating mixtures.
