Based on the belief about differences among students, how they learn, and their individual interests, six graders experienced a classroom session where all students learned effectively, regardless of their differences in ability. Students experimented using their household materials preparing different mixtures. They were able to recognize the differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. They were also asked to identify the solute and the solvent in each of the solutions. The most exciting step in this learning by doing activity was when a student from each group was assigned as a reporter to fetch and discuss with other groups their thoughts and ideas and transfer them to his group.
