COMPETENCY:
Tell the benefits of separating mixtures from products in
community. (S6MT-Ig-j-3)
OBJECTIVES: At the end of the module, the students will be able to:
Identify processes/activities done in construction sites that
separates components of different mixtures.
Tell the benefits of separating components of mixtures in
construction sites.
Identify processes/activities done in refilling station that separates
components of different mixtures.
Tell the benefits of separating components of mixtures in refilling
station.
BACKGROUND:
In the previous module, you have learned about the different ways of separating
mixtures. Mixtures can be separated using the different methods. Among these
methods are sieving, evaporation, decantation, filtration, winnowing, sifting,
handpicking, threshing distillation and mechanical separation.
1
9. Distillation - is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on
differences in the conditions required to change the phase of
components of the mixture.
To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force
components, which have different boiling points, into the gas phase.
10. Mechanical separation - is probably the easiest process of separating the
components of a mixture. You simply remove the components one by
one. Separating the ingredients of a fruit salad with a fork is an
example of this.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS:
1. Use this module with care. Do not write anything on each page of the module.
Use a separate sheet of paper for your answers to the different activities or
tasks.
2. Read carefully the Guide Card before proceeding to the next activities.
3. Read carefully the direction/instruction of each activity before doing the task.
4. Finish the first activity before doing the next one.
5. Return the module on the agreed time to your teacher or adviser after
answering all the activities.

Lesson 1 & 2: Separating Mixtures in Construction Site
PROCESS:
When you have large quantities of materials to sort and the different particles
have different sizes, you can sieve the mixture. The smaller particles will fall through
the openings in the sieve, while the larger particles stay behind.

DISCLAIMER
This Self-Instructional Material (SIM) was developed by the Schools Division
of Cotabato. It aims to provide learners with materials that could be used in
the new normal and is based on the modality preferred by most parents and
learners. It is hoped that through this, the education of the children in the
Province of Cotabato shall continue. This shall likewise be used by the
learners of all public schools in the schools division beginning SY 2020-
2021. Furthermore, the process of LR development was observed in the
production of this module. This is version 1.0. We highly encourage
feedback, comments, and recommendation.
