 Mixtures on the other hand, are materials consisting of two or more kinds of substances physically
combined. The substances that combine retains its own properties and characteristics. Air, seawater, stainless
steel and halo-halo are examples of mixtures
In this lesson, we will focus on the following questions: What is the difference between substances and
mixtures?What are the properties of substances and mixtures?

To check your knowledge from the previous topic, let us do the following activity.

Activity 1: Who Am I

Directions: Place a checkmark (√) in the column that corresponds to where the material in each
number will be classified.

Materials Substance Mixture

1. Salt water
2. Juice
3. Pure gold
4. Softdrinks
5. Wine
6. Salt
7. Sugar
8. Water
\

How are mixtures different from substances? How are they similar?

Mixtures can be distinguished from substances by looking at their physical properties. These
properties can be observed easily using your senses.

Activity 2: Count Me

Directions: Place a checkmark (√) on the columns to indicate your observations. An example is
already provided on the first two items as your guide.

A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances. The components of a mixture

which could either be solid, liquid or gaseous phases, can be of any proportion.

The following are some of the properties and characteristics of mixtures:

1. Components: retain its properties after combining them

Examples: 1. Salt + water = salt water mixture

(The salty taste identifies the salt as one of the components of the mixtures)

2. Sand + gravel = sand and gravel mixture

(both components can be identified)

2. Chemical system: both homogeneous and heterogeneous

a. Homogeneous system – one phase uniform in appearance

Examples: 1. Salt + water = salt water mixture
2. Sugar + water = sugar water mixture
b. Heterogeneous system – two or more observable phases
Examples: 1. Sand + gravel = sand and gravel mixture
2. Sand + water = sand and water mixture
3. Oil + water = oil and water mixture

3. Boiling Point: vary in a mixture

The boiling point of mixtures differs while the boiling point of substances is fixed.

Example: 1. Pure water boils at 100 0C

2. Water added with salt boils at 102 0C

4. Can be separated by a physical process

4
 These are some ways you can separate mixtures:

Decantation – the particles of the mixtures are allowed to

settle down and less dense particles are poured off.
Example:
a.
Cooking oil + water (cooking oil is less dense, hence it floats in water and
can be poured off)
b.
rice grain + water (rice washing can be poured off).

Distillation involves the process of evaporation and condensation.

Example:
a.
Purifying seawater (as heat is applied water evaporates and white crystal
residues remain)
b. Alcohol in water (as heat applied, alcohols
evaporated first while water remain)

Filtration is the process of separating filtrate from the residue

by passing through the filter paper or strainer.

Filtrate is the liquid that passes through the filter paper. Residue is the
solid which remain in the filter paper.

Example:
a.
Coconut milk pulp (coconut milk pass through the strainer while
coconut pulp or “sapal” remain as residue)
b.
Calamansi juice extract (calamansi juice passes through while the
seeds remain in the strainer)
c. Muddy water (water pass through the
filter paper while the mud remains on the filter paper)

At this point, you will investigate another property of mixture.

Activity 3: Look at Me

Directions: The table below shows temperature readings and appearance when water and seawater
were heated separately on the same condition. You analyze the reflected data on the table then
answer the given questions on the next page. Write your answers in your science activity notebook.

Activity 5: Making your own Cola - Investigating Mixtures

Learning Goals

This activity is designed for students to investigate the concept of mixtures and concentrations. Students will be
expected to use scientific thinking to conduct investigations and build explanations. Vocabulary would include
mixture, concentration, and dissolving.

Materials:
1 Tbsp. Sugar ¾ tsp. Vanilla extract
dash of cinnamon
½ lime or lemon juice
½ cup club soda

Procedures:

7
Students mix the ingredients together well and add ice. This mixture looks very different. Droplets of red,
yellow, and/or blue food coloring can be added to achieve the brown color. Students taste the concoction, then
measure by full droppers into 6 small cups. The students select two ingredients (the variables) and begin
experimenting with their formula by varying the amount of the two ingredients. (1/4 tsp. of decaffeinated coffee
may be an additional ingredient.) Students present their formula findings to the class. Students may need an
additional basic recipe to refine their formula.

Guide questions:.

1. What are the materials used for making a cola?

2. what are the various sources of error that must be accounted for in an experiement?

3. In your own opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages in making cola?
