Activity No. 2
What Are Some Properties of Solutions?

I. Objectives: At the end of the activity, 75% of the learners should be able to:
1. Compare the evidence gathered with the predictions you made, and
2. Describe some properties of solutions based on observations.
II. Materials:
(Refer to Learner’s Material)
III. Procedure:
1. Predict which among the given samples will dissolve in water. Write your predictions in column
2 of Table 2.
2. Pour one (1) cup of water in each cup.
3. Add ½ teaspoon of each of the seven samples. Stir the mixture with a teaspoon to dissolve as
much of each sample as possible. Use different teaspoon for each cup.
4. Filter the mixture with filter paper. You may use katsa or old, white T-shirt with the improvised
funnel from plastic bottle.
