Detailed Lesson Plan in Science

Teacher/s:

Capunpon, Patricia Kyla

Handa, Joannah Cristy L.
Magbojos, Femmie S.

Date: November 10, 2023

Subject / Grade Level: Forming Mixtures / Grade 6
Materials: Powerpoint, Manipulative Materials
Content Standard:

The learners demonstrate understanding of different techniques to separate mixtures.

Performance Standard:

The learners should be able to separate desired materials from common and local products. (S6MTId-f-
2)

Lesson Objective(s):

At the end of the lesson students should be able to:

 Identify ways to separate mixtures;

 Explain how separating mixtures through the different techniques; and
 Demonstrate understanding of the different techniques in separating mixtures such as
decantation, evaporation, filtering, sieving, and using magnet.

Engage

 The teacher will conduct the experiment of filteration, but the teacher will call one student at a
time to participate on the said experiment. The teacher will guide each student to do this
experiment.

Filtration materials, such as:

- Cotton Balls
- Sand
- Gravel
- Charcoal
- Water & Dirt
- Plastic Bottle

Step 1: Ask a grown-up to cut the bottle in half. Then flip the bottle's top half over and put it in the
bottom, so the top looks like a funnel. You'll build your filter in the top part.

Step 2: Place the cotton at the bottom of your filter.

Step 3: Add charcoal, gravel, sand, and / or other materials in layers. You can use just one of them or
all of them.
Step 4: Stir your dirty water and measure out a cup of it.

Step 5: Observe if the dirty water will become clear water or not.

It looks: _________________________________________________________________
Color: _____________ Transparency: _____________
Does this water seem like it could be drinkable? __________________________________
Is this water cleaner than last time? Why or why not?

Discovery Questions:

- Beginning the Experiement:

Why is it important we only drink clean water? (Safe, clean, drinking water is essential for
human life. Diseases can live in water and make people very sick.)

- During the Experiment:

Does the order of the layers matter? (Experiment to find out!)

- After the Experiment:

What if you had to filter all of the water you use each day? (Some people around the world
have to! As you saw with this experiment, filtering dirty water to make it clean enough to drink
takes time and effort. It is very important to save the water we use every day and not waste it.)

Perform the Activity!

Directions: The teacher will group the students into 3 groups, each group will have a representative to
be the one to pick their experiments that they will conduct.

1. Decantation (oil and water)

- It is a technique used in separating a less-dense substance from a denser one. It involves letting
the mixture settle for a while. The heavier, insoluble substances will settle at the bottom of the
liquid. A clear liquid may leave at the top. Once it is taken out you have decanted the liquid.
The impure substance may leave behind.

Example: Oil and water - when a mixture of two liquids is allowed to settle, the oil will float
on the top of the water so the two components may be separated.

Procedures:

1. Add an amount to water in a container and shake.

2. Leave the mixture to settle so that two layers are formed where the oil (less dense liquid) forms the
upper layer while the water (denser liquid) forms the lower layer.
3. Take an empty container.
4. Tilt the container with the mixture carefully towards the empty container without shaking it.
5. Pour the oil into the empty container making sure that the water at the bottom does not go in.

2. Sieving (sand, stone, and strainer)

- The process of separating components of a mixture which are different in size.

Procedures:

1. Separate the sand and stone using the strainer.

3. Using magnet (magnet, water, cornstarch, and coins)

- Magnetic separation is the process of separating components of mixtures by using a magnet to

attract magnetic substances.

Procedures:

After conducting the experiment, they will answer follow up questions:

1. What did you observe in your experiment?

2. Where do you think you can use this experiment in your daily life?

3. Why do you think it is important for us to learn this experiment?
