Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Science 6 Self-Learning Module 1 on Mixing Solid and Solid

Materials!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them
to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

Welcome to the Science 6 Self-Learning Module on Mixing Solid and Solid

Materials!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an
active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - This points to the set of knowledge and skills

that you will learn after completing the module.

Pretest - This measures your prior knowledge about the lesson

at hand.

Recap - This part of the module provides a review of concepts

and skills that you already know about a previous lesson.

Lesson - This section discusses the topic in the module.

Activities - This is a set of activities that you need to perform.

special properties. I know that you could still remember the special
properties of matter.

Now, let us try to do a simple activity to help you freshen up and recall
your past lesson. Ready? Get your notebook or your paper and pen and be
ready to write your answer.

Arrange the given letters to form a correct body part. Write the correct
word in a space provided.

1. The ability to attract material- C I T E N G A M

2. The ability of a materials to hold liquid

to a certain extent. - T Y I S O R O P

3. The property of solid to be broken

into pieces.-N E S S B I R L T T E

4. The ability of a material to be bent without

breaking.-T Y I L I B I X E L F

5. The ability to conduct heat- L A M R E T H

 6. It is good to know that you really learned a lot from your lesson when
you were in Grade Five. I know you are excited to learn new topic.

LESSON

A combination of two or more distinct particles is called

mixture. In a mixture, the distinct particles may be uniformly mixed or not,
and the mixed substance remain unchanged.
Mixed substances can be classified depending on the
appearance of the resulting mixture. Some solids mixed with other solids can
be distinguished from each other and can very well determine the
components separately. It is called heterogeneous mixtures or coarse
mixtures. A solid mixture is in solid state if you can see its components.
Solids have definite size and shape they are firm and compact.
Some examples are seeds, stones, books, and pencils.
When solids are mixed with other solids, they retain their
structure, substance, color, size, shape, and texture because they are firm,
and compact. When solids like seeds are mixed together in a glass or bowl,
we can see a mixture of colorful seeds. Each seeds remain the same. The
solids did not change after mixing them.

Coarse mixtures are formed when you mix the different kinds
of seeds. Coarse mixtures consist of rather large elements or particles mixed
together.

A mixing of carbon and iron metals to form a steel which is

commonly used in constructing building and bridges.

When you mix solids with other solids, there is no change in

their substance, color, shape, size, and texture. A coarse mixture is formed
which can be separated easily.

VALUING

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of

us just stay at home and others are still unable to
work. Hence, the Pasig City Government provides
assistance especially in providing relief goods and
cash aid to every Pasig City family. One good
example is giving food coupons to Pasig City
learners to be used in buying food.
