 FOREWORD

This Self Learning Kit is designed to guide pupils in their

understanding of the different types of mixtures and their
characteristics. The learning activities are fashioned after the 7E
Inquiry Model to reinforce their understanding and provide
experiences to further deepen their understanding of the above
mentioned competency.

This Self Learning Kit is divided into three parts:

I. What Happened

The pupils will answer a pretest. They are mentally

engaged by the activities that elicit prior knowledge.

II. What You Need to Know

The pupils will use their prior knowledge to enquire and

generate ideas and carry out hands-on activities to make
sense of a concept. Concepts and skills are explained and
additional activities are given to apply learning to a new
situation.

III. What Have I Learned

Pupils will evaluate their understanding of the concepts

and transfer newly acquired knowledge and skills to new
situations within the domain.

II. What You Need To Know

Hmmm…hmmm you tried to clear you throat…hmmm
You feel pain, scratchiness or irritation in your throat that
worsens when you swallow… What are these a symptom
of?
Yes, you have a sore throat! What home remedy do
you usually use as medication for sore throat?

The common home remedy for sore throat is gargling with warm salt
solution. It helps soothe a sore throat and break down secretions. It is
also known to help kill bacteria in the throat.
Let us follow the recipe in making warm salt solution.

Activity 1: Salt Solution

Materials:
1. a glass of warm water
2. ½ teaspoon of rock salt
Procedure:
1. Pour ½ teaspoon of rock salt in a glass of warm water.
2. Stir well.

Answer the following questions.

1. What are the ingredients in making a salt solutions?
2. After stirring, can you still see the salt? What happened to the salt?
Is the salt still there? How do you know?

5
 What kind of a mixture is this home remedy? Yes, it is a
homogeneous mixture which is also known as solution. When salt is
mixed with water, the salt seems to disappear into the water. This is
a process called dissolution. The salt did not really disappear. Its
molecules dissolved in the water can no longer be seen. You know
the salt is there because you can taste it, even though you can’t
see it. The clear mixture is called a solution.

There are five types of solutions.

All these types are homogeneous.
1. Solid in liquid
A solid substance is dissolved in a liquid substance. Examples are
sugar in water, salt in water, juice powder in water, or coffee in
water.
3. Liquid in liquid
A liquid substance can also be dissolved in another liquid and
these two substances can be mixed thoroughly. Examples of these
are alcohol and water, wine and soda water, concentrated fruit
juice in water.
4. Gas in liquid
Certain liquids contain gaseous substances. Soft drinks appear as
liquid, but they actually contain carbon dioxide gas. This can
be observed when a bottle of soft drink is shaken or opened,
bubbles appear and gas is released. Oxygen is also present in
water. Plants use them during the food – making process.
5. Gas in gas
Air is a very good example of gas in a gas solution. It is a mixture of
several gases – oxygen (20.95%), nitrogen (78.09%), carbon dioxide
(0.03%)argon (0.93%), and several trace gases- water vapor,
methane and ammonia.

6. Solid in solid
Steel, basically a solution of carbon atoms in a crystalline matrix of
6
 iron atoms. Alloys like bronze and many others. Polymers
containing plasticizers.

SOLUTE SOLVENT EXAMPLE

Solid Liquid Saline(NaCL) or Salt Solution, Sugar Solution
Solid Solid Alloys such as brass , which is a solution of zinc in copper
Liquid Solid Dental amalgam (pasta sa tango) mercury in silver
Liquid Liquid Vinegar (acetic acid in water)
Gas Solid Hydrogen gas in palladium metal
Gas Liquid Carbonated beverage (e.g. Coke) CO2 carbon dioxide in
water
Gas Gas Air in the atmosphere

MISCIBLE AND IMMISCIBLE LIQUIDS

Do all liquids mix together?

Activity 2: Tubig at Langis!

Materials:
1. ½ glass of water
2. ¼ cup of cooking
3. ¼ glass of vinegar
4. ¼ glass of water

Safety Precautions:
1. Be careful in handling glass wares.
2. Be sure to do the experiment with the supervision of your
parents/guardian or adult.
3. DO NOT smell or taste any material especially if you are not
familiar with it.
4. Use the materials with care for the purpose for which it is
intended.
5. Carefully follow the procedure.

7
 Procedure:
A.
1. Add the ¼ cup of cooking oil to a ½ glass of water.
2. Stir to mix well.
3. After mixing let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
B.
1. Pour the ¼ cup of vinegar to a ¼ cup of water.
2. Stir well.
3. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Answer the following questions:

1. Did the water and the cooking oil mix well?
2. What happen after letting it sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes?
Why do you think the cooking oil float?
3. Did the vinegar mix well with water?
4. What happen after letting it sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes?
5. Do all liquids mix together? What do you call liquids that do not
mix together? What about liquids that mix well together?

When two liquids can be mixed to form a solution they are called
miscible. If two liquids cannot be mixed like water and cooking oil they
are called Immiscible. Have you heard of the saying “oil and water
don’t mix”? That is because they are immiscible. A water curve called
meniscus is formed when two liquids are immiscible.

Cooking oil

miniscus

water

 What will you do when there is a power black-out and no
kerosene lamp or flashlight available?

Yes, you can make a water candle. This candle can last for
a long time as long as the oil is in it. Follow the steps to make a
water candle.

DIY ( Do It Yourself) Water Candles

Materials:
1. Water 4. Candle wick (pabilo sa kandila)
2. Cooking oil 5. Plastic sheet or a bottle
3. Glass (garapon) 6. A pair of scissors

Procedure:
1. Cut out a piece of plastic bottle or something made out of thin
plastic.
2. Cut it so that it will fit inside the glass jar you will be using.
3. Poke a hole at the center for the wick.
4. Knot the wick near one end and put it into the plastic disk.
5. Fill the jar with water leaving about a centimeter of room at the top.
6. Fill the rest with cooking oil.
7. Place the wick and the disk into the jar, stop with the wick under the
oil
