b. By evaporation d. by filtration
6. The fisherman in a village could not go the sea to catch fish because of oil spilled from
passenger ship who passed few days ago. How could the fisherman clean the sea?
a. By sweeping the oil spill c. by scooping the oil
b. Through evaporation d. by filtering the oil
Concept Notes
Decantation is a process to separate two different mixtures. When the components
separated, the less dense substance could be removed by scooping using a spoon or it can
be removed by slowly pouring out the less dense substance.
The community is benefited when decantation as a mean of separating mixtures is
involved in different activities. Such as separating oil from water or oil spill, water from
muddy water.

Concept Note:
Evaporation occurs every day both in natural and man-made environment.
Evaporation occurs most often in the ocean around the world.
Evaporation is a technique used in separating solid from a liquid. This method is use
also by people to produce salt by evaporating saltwater under the sun. The process involves
heating the solution until the solvent evaporates (turns into gas) leaving behind the solid
residue.
Examples; steaming oneself to fight COVID-19, drying washed clothes, drying fish
