First Quarter: Introduction to Science and Nature of Matter

Unit 11: Diversity of Materials in the Environment

Content Standards
Demonstrate understanding of some important properties of solutions.

Performance Standards
Prepare different concentrations of mixtures according to uses and availability of materials.

I. Competencies

1. Investigate properties of unsaturated or saturated solutions.

2. Express concentrations of solutions quantitatively by preparing different concentrations of
mixtures according to uses and availability of materials;

Objectives
At the end of the session, the students will be able to:
1. Distinguish mixtures from substances based on a set of materials.
2. Investigate the properties of mixtures with varying concentrations.
3. Recognize that a substance has a unique set of properties.

II. Subject Matter

Lesson 3: Substances and Mixtures
Topic: Substances and Mixtures
Reference: Science Links pp. 59 -62, Teacher’s Resource Material pp.21 -23
Materials: Power point presentation, reference book,

Values Integration: Exhibit sense of awareness and act responsibly.

III. Learning Task

A. Priming
Board work: Have the students write as many examples as possible for substance and for mixture.

B. Tasks

Activity
HOMOGENEOUS VS. HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURES
Classify the following as either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
1. flat soft drink (no bubbles) 9. air (with smog)
2. chocolate chip ice cream 10. paint
3. Italian salad dressing 11. alcohol
4. sugar 12. iron
5. soil 13. beach sand
6. aluminum foil 14. pure air
7. black coffee 15. chunky spaghetti sauce
8. sugar water

PURE SUBSTANCES VS. MIXTURES

Classify the following as pure substances or mixtures.
1. sodium 11. iron
2. water 12. salt water
3. soil 13. chocolate chip ice cream
4. coffee 14. Nitrogen
5. oxygen 15. eggs
6. 70% isopropyl alcohol 16. blood
7. carbon dioxide 17. table salt
8. cake batter 18. nail polish
9. air 19. milk
10. chicken noodle soup 20. soda

Analysis

1. What is the importance of knowing substances and mixtures?

2. What are the uses of separating mixtures?
3. How would you differentiate substance from mixture?

Abstraction

1. Substances are forms of matter that have a definite unchanging chemical composition.
Substance is the same no matter where it is found. Salt, water, aluminum foil, baking soda,
carbon dioxide, and oxygen are all substances.
2. Mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances in which each pure substance
retains its characteristic properties. The better three examples of mixtures are air,
seawater, and brass.

Homogeneous

3. Methods of separating components of a mixture are magnetic separation, evaporation,

filtration, distillation, and chromatography.
Application

Ask the students to prepare 5” x 8” pamphlet with four to six pages on ‘Separating Compounds
of a Mixture”. The pamphlet must have the following:

 Title page with students ’name, subject, grade level, teacher’s name, date
 Different ways of separating mixtures
  Definition and illustration
 Real life examples or how they are applied in our daily lives
 List of references

Evaluation

Enrichment
Thinking Critically
1. If the amount of solute in the solution has reached its maximum, how can a solution be made into
supersaturated solution?
2. Why do bigger sizes of solid solute dissolve more slowly than in their powdered form?
3. Why do sugar solutions have different degrees of sweetness?
