🌴 Performance Task: Separation of Components in Coconut Milk

Title: Investigating the Separation of Components in Coconut Milk

Objective: Learners will perform an experiment to separate and identify the


components of coconut milk (water, oil, protein, etc.) using simple laboratory
techniques such as filtration, decantation, and heating.

Task Instructions:

1. Collect fresh coconut milk from grated coconut.

2. Allow the mixture to stand and observe natural separation.

3. Apply heating to accelerate separation of oil and protein.

4. Record observations at each stage (appearance, texture, color


changes).

5. Identify the separated components and explain their properties.

6. Submit a completed lab report with analysis and conclusion.

Expected Output:

 A completed lab report with clear data presentation.

 Reflection on the importance of separation techniques in food


chemistry and industry.

Performance Criteria (Rubric):

 Accuracy of Procedure (20%) – Proper execution of steps.

 Data Recording (20%) – Clear, organized observations.

 Analysis & Explanation (30%) – Correct identification of


components and scientific reasoning.

 Presentation of Lab Report (20%) – Neatness, completeness, and


clarity.

 Reflection (10%) – Insightful connection to real-world applications.
