Assessment for the final lesson is summative. The educator will 2. The students will take their mixture card to their desks, and will
collect students’ work to review the lesson objectives and the have a worksheet on which to record their understandings (see
sequence of work. appendix 1):
The educator will assess student learning using a checklist (see • Is the mixture a liquid or a solid mixture?
appendix 2). • What are the materials/ingredients that make up the mixture?
The students’ responses on the KWL chart will also be used as part • What can you use this mixture for?
of the lesson assessment. • Who makes this mixture and how do they make it?

LEARNER DIVERSITY
Enabling:
The assessment conducted in this lesson is summative, and as such,
prompting will be minimal. To support students who may struggle to
write a larger amount, the worksheet will allow space for illustrations.
Students will be able to discuss their learning and ideas with their peers
throughout the lesson.
Students in need of more support could be provided with more simple
mixtures to analyse – E.g. more familiar, fewer components.
Extending:
In order to provide students with extension if necessary, the educator
can pose questions relating to whether the parts of the mixture can be
separated, and can also ask whether all the ingredients/components of
the mixture are manmade, or whether any are natural (E.g. milk in
cereal is natural, whereas the cereal is manmade).

mixtures to analyse – E.g. less familiar, more components.
