This document outlines a lesson plan on separating mixtures using handpicking and sifting methods. It includes learning objectives about classifying mixtures that can be separated through picking and sifting, as well as practicing situations where these methods are applied. Students will appreciate the benefits and uses of picking and sifting in daily routines. Activities include grouping students to write benefits of each method, creating concept maps, and assessing students with test questions.
