III. LESSON PROPER
A. Engage
 Arrange the jumbled words.
1. SNATRAPIEG - Separating
2. CHINETSEQU - Techniques
3. TRESUXIMS - Mixtures
B. Explore
1. Show different audio-visual presentations about the topic.
2. Let the students discover the different separation techniques.
C. Explain
 Filtration - is the process of separating suspended solid matter from a
liquid, by causing the latter to pass through the pores of some substance,
called a filter. The liquid which has passed through the filter is called
the filtrate.
 Decantation - it is done to separate particulates from a liquid by allowing
the solids to settle to the bottom of the mixture and pouring off the
particle-free part of the liquid.
- It is to allow two immiscible liquids to separate and the
lighter liquid is poured off.
 Paper Chromatography - is an analytical method used to separate colored
chemicals or substances using filter paper suspended in a solvent.
 Centrifugation - is sedimentation of particles under the influence of the
centrifugal force and it is used for separation of superfine suspensions.
 Magnetic Separation - is a process in which magnetically susceptible
material is extracted from a mixture using a magnetic force.
