Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Topic	5	Introduce the concepts of mixtures and solutions. Discuss their definitions with examples.
2	Group Activity	10	In pairs, students will create their own mixtures using provided materials and document their observations.
3	Class Discussion	5	Facilitate a discussion about what the students created and the differences they observed in mixtures vs. solutions.
4	Separation Methods	5	Demonstrate how to separate mixtures using strainers and filters. Allow students to try this themselves.
5	Reflection and Feedback	3	Provide time for students to reflect on what they learned and share their thoughts with a partner.
6	Conclusion and Homework	2	Summarize the key differences between mixtures and solutions. Assign reading about mixtures for homework. Check homework silently.
