Product description
From the author
Students cut and assemble a wheel-shaped organizer for separating mixtures, then write explanations beneath the labelled flaps. The template names filtration, magnetic separation, evaporation, distillation, fractional distillation, separating funnel and decanting, with an additional flap for other methods.
The seven-page PDF includes assembly instructions, an assembled example and two suggested research links. Supply a lesson, textbook or checked reference for the written explanations, plus scissors, glue and a notebook. No completed explanation key is included.
Follow the included single-classroom or homeschool terms when copying.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Explain in their own words what each separation technique named on the wheel does
Research a science topic from a supplied starting point and condense what is found into the space under a flap
Assemble a segmented wheel foldable accurately - cutting the outer edge, cutting between sections, gluing only the centre and folding each flap up
Teaching tips
Use a dot of glue only in the centre; this keeps every flap free to lift, while glue near an edge locks one shut
Flaps arrive labelled but blank, so decide in advance whether students research from the two listed websites, from a textbook or from a demonstration you have already run
One of the two research links is a SlideShare deck rather than a curated reference site; preview it before setting the task, since user-uploaded material can move or change
Skills covered
Summarising research into a fixed space - the instruction is to tell what you have learned under each flap, which forces a short note rather than a copied paragraph.
Independent research from a starting point - a resources page supplies two websites and leaves the reading, selecting and note-making to the student.
Organising related ideas side by side - one technique per section means each is written up alongside the others on a single wheel rather than down a page.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How is the wheel put together?
In four steps. Cut around the outer black line of the wheel, cut along the line between each section so the flaps come free, put glue only on the back of the centre and press it into the notebook, then fold each flap up along its dotted line so it lifts.
Where does the writing under the flaps come from?
The student supplies it. Each flap is labelled with a separation technique on top and left blank underneath, and the file states it is designed to be used with any textbook or curriculum; a resources page at the back adds two websites to research from.
Does the file specify what to print on?
Only the colour, and it leaves that open: "Print these pages on any color of paper that you prefer." No paper weight, size or orientation is specified anywhere in the instructions.
