Help learners sequence an explanation and identify what the filter cannot remove. Build towards that goal with a question, an activity and a chance to explain their thinking.
Your lesson prompt
Help me plan an activity for lower secondary learners about explaining how a simple water filter works. First ask for my year group, programme, objective and permitted materials. Include an opening question, a shared activity and an independent check. Help learners sequence an explanation and identify what the filter cannot remove. Keep any practical work teacher-supervised and use only materials and procedures I approve. Do not ask pupils to taste substances, handle unsafe materials or conduct unsupervised fieldwork. Do not invent school assessment criteria or lesson sequences.
Give each step a reason.
Inspect the water-cycle and frog-cycle flowcharts, then use the space for a process of your own. For this page’s task, prepare the material around explaining how a simple water filter works.
Open the worksheet prompt
Help me prepare an original task about explaining how a simple water filter works for my confirmed class. I will supply the source content. Use Process flowchart organiser as a model for the teaching structure. Ask for my year group, goal and prior learning. Check the new subject content and age suitability, offer optional support and leave an independent explanation. Keep source facts distinct from this new task and do not infer school criteria.
Refine the worksheet
Review the new explaining how a simple water filter works task for my confirmed class. Check the subject content, reading load and response space. Add optional support while keeping an independent explanation. Use checked steps from the current class topic. Show a return arrow only for a real cycle; keep a non-cyclic process as a sequence.
Use the source as a teaching model, then review the new task for your confirmed class.
Check the next explanation.
For explaining how a simple water filter works, decide what pupils must explain independently. Use checked steps from the current class topic. Show a return arrow only for a real cycle; keep a non-cyclic process as a sequence.
Keep the conversation going

How can I check understanding after adding support?
Offer a fresh question about explaining how a simple water filter works without the response frame. Check whether learners can sequence an explanation and identify what the filter cannot remove, using your own confirmed criteria.
