5E’s- ENGAGE (1-2 lessons)

 To capture student interest and find out what they know about materials and how they combine.
 To elicit students’ questions/ prior knowledge about mixtures.
 Diagnostic assessment used- in this lesson you will find out what the students already know about materials, mixtures and their uses. This will allow you to take account of students’ existing ideas
when planning learning experiences
