Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could use the Activity: How sieving works (support) to help them create an annotated diagram to explain how sieving separates different sized solids; could use the clues under the tea towel to help them work out how the soil-gold mixture and iron-sand mixture could be separated.
Pupils working at greater depth
Could identify jobs which might involve sieving, such as, farming/harvesting, chef, baker, food scientist; could be challenged to consider how salt and pepper could be separated (add water to dissolve the salt, then filter out the pepper, then evaporate the water).
