I. Procedure
A. Motivation
The teacher will flash pictures on the screen about mixtures and answer the question
below.

1. Do you like to eat halo-halo? If you were to prepare halo-halo, what ingredients
would you like to include in your halo-halo?

Ube halaya, milk, banana, jack fruit, nata de coco

2. How about air and sea water? Are they also mixtures?

Yes, air contains nitrogen, argon gases, carbon dioxide and other gases.
While sea water contains chloride, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium etc.

B. Presentation of the Lesson

Class, our topic for today is about the different types of mixtures
 1. Explore/Activity.
Class let us have an activity regarding our topic for today

Activity A
Objective: Describe the appearance of mixtures.
Materials: 3 small bottles, Water, Sugar, Sandy soil and Flour
Procedure:
1. Label the bottles A,B and C.
2. Fill half of each bottle with water. Put a spoonful of sugar into the bottle.
3. [A] sugar [B] Flour [C] sandy soil
4. Stir the mixture
5. Observe the particles of the substance added to the water in each bottle. Look at
the color of each mixtures.
6. Record your observation using this table below.
Substance Color of Effect of
Mixed Mixture Water in
with the
Water Mixture

[A] Sugar
[B] Flour
[C] Sandy
soil
Guide Questions
1. In which mixture did the added substance spread evenly?
2. Which substance sank to the bottom of the bottle?

2. Firm-up/Analysis
Class in our previous activity, you have discovered how different substances behave
in water as well as its effect when dissolved in water.

Let us now classify mixtures whether it is a homogeneous or heterogeneous

mixture.

Activity B
The teacher will flash examples of homogeneous mixture and let the students
formulate the meaning of homogeneous mixture based from their observation.

1. Based from the pictures what is a homogeneous mixture?

Let us now have heterogeneous mixtures

2. Based from the pictures what is a heterogeneous mixture?

 Let us now compare your answers based from your observation and based on text.

3. Which are similar and which are different?

3.Deepen/ Abstraction

Activity C
After comparing the answers based on observation and based from the true concept. The series of
activities done by the students arrived at the generalization.

As part of the deepening activity the students will answer the following questions which will
serve as the generalization.

a. A homogeneous mixture is also called a solution. A solution is made up of a solute and

solvent. What is a solute and a solvent?

Solute- is a substance that dissolves in a solvent. (the substance that is being dissolved)

Solvent- is the substance that dissolves a solute. (the dissolving medium)

Water is the universal solvent, what ways do you do in order to conserve water?

Fix leaky faucets, toilets, appliances and sprinklers.

Turn off the water when brushing your teeth.
Use less water when doing laundry.
Take a shower instead of a bath, and take shorter showers.
Fill a bottle with water and sand and put it in the toilet tank.
Practice smart lawn watering.

b. A heterogeneous mixture can be either a suspension or a colloid. What is a colloid or

suspension

Suspension- is a heterogeneous mixture wherein insoluble particles are suspended in a liquid or

a gas.
Colloid- is a mixture wherein the particles of one substance are evenly dispersed or scattered
throughout another substance.

c. Homogeneous and heterogeneous both are types of mixtures. What are mixtures?

A mixture is made up of two or more substances. No chemical reaction takes place when a
mixture is formed. The chemical properties of a mixture are the same as the properties of its
components. The components of a mixture can be separated through physical methods and
be mixed in any portion.

4. Transfer/ Application

Activity

After you have acquired the concepts about mixtures. Each of you will give one example of a
mixture and tell whether what type of mixture it is.

 Fruit salad- heterogeneous mixture

 Fresh milk- homogeneous mixture
 Oil and water- heterogeneous mixture
