Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Briefly introduce the topic of distillation. Discuss its significance and relevance in real-life applications.
2	Explanation of Principles	10 min	Explain the scientific principles of distillation, including vaporization and condensation. Use diagrams to illustrate concepts.
3	Demonstration	10 min	Conduct a live demonstration of the distillation process using the apparatus. Highlight safety protocols during the demonstration.
4	Guided Practice	3 min	Allow students to make initial observations during the demonstration and answer any immediate questions.
5	Conclusion and Q&A	2 min	Summarize key points from the lesson and address any final questions to clarify concepts.
6	Homework Assignment	0 min	Assign a reflection worksheet on the processes observed during the demonstration. Ensure homework is checked without presentations.

Homework

• Students will complete a worksheet reflecting on the distillation process, including observations made during the demonstration and insights into its applications. The worksheets will be collected at the beginning of the next class for evaluation.

Assessment

• Participation in the demonstration and discussions.
• Completion and quality of the homework assignment.

This lesson plan is designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of the distillation process, linking theoretical knowledge to practical applications in Physics.
