Lesson
Characteristics of Solution,
1 Suspension and Colloid
Mixture is all around us. In fact, even the air that you are breath right now is a mixture
of different gases. It is part in our daily living from the air that we breathe down to the food that
we eat are examples of a mixture. Thus, learning and understanding more about it is important.

What I Need to Know

After this lesson, you will be able to:
1. Describe the characteristics of solution, suspension and colloid;
2. Make a sample of different kinds of mixtures; and
3. Appreciate the importance of each kind of mixtures.

What’s In
Activity 1. Find Me
Can you find all the words in the box that is hidden in the puzzle? Read backwards or
forwards, up or down, even diagonally. The words will always be in a straight line. Encircle the
word as you find them.

What’s New

Observe the picture below. Which container do you think illustrate a solution,
suspension and colloid?

Mixture A Mixture B Mixture C

What Is It
A mixture consists of two or more substances combined together but do not
have a fixed or definite composition. There are three kinds of mixtures: solution, suspension
and colloids. They have different properties.

Solutions are a homogeneous mixture. It is formed when one

substance dissolve in another substance. Solutions contain solute and
solvents. When sugar dissolved in water, the two substances appeared
as one.
It can be observed that the beam of light from the pen light just
passed through. The light did not scatter because of the size of the
particles in the mixture.

Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture containing larger

particles that settle out when undisturbed. They just settle at the bottom
or float.
2
Suspensions may scatter light, but if the number of suspended
particles is sufficiently large.
 Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures with intermediate whose
particles are larger than the size of a solution and smaller than the
particles in a suspension. The particles of a colloid do not settle down.
Instead, they move rapidly.
Dispersed colloid particles scatter light, a phenomenon called
Tyndall effect. When a beam of light shines through a colloid, the
suspended particles scatter the light making it visible as a distinct
column of illumination.

What’s More
Activity 2: Know Me Better
Directions: Copy the table in your activity notebook. Inside the box are words or
phrases which describes the different characteristics of a solution, suspension and
colloid. Write it under its proper heading.

Large particles Appear as one Tyndall effect Scattered the light

Cloudy clear homogeneous Settle on top or bottom

heterogeneous Medium particles Small particles Light pass through

Solution Suspension Colloid

What I Have Learned

Directions: Complete the following sentences below by filling in the correct answer. Choose
your answer from the box below.

Homogeneous Heterogeneous Solution Colloids Suspension

Float Solvent Solute Mixture

A (1) _________consists of two or more substances combined together but do not

have a fixed or definite composition. There are different kinds of mixture.
Solutions are a (2)_________mixture. It is formed when one substance dissolve in
another substance. Solutions contain (3)_____and solvents.

3
 (4)_____________ is a heterogeneous mixture containing larger particles that settle
out when undisturbed. They just settle at the bottom or (5)______.

Colloids are (6)_________ mixtures with intermediate whose particles are larger than
the size of a (7)_____ and smaller than the particles in a suspension. The particles of a
colloid do not settle down. Instead, they move rapidly.

What I Can Do

Directions: List down 3 materials of solutions, suspension and colloids found at home. Copy
the table below and write your answers in your notebook.

SOLUTIONS SUSPENSION COLLOIDS

Additional Activities

Directions: Cut out pictures of solutions, suspensions and colloids. Give at least three
sample pictures in every kind of mixture. Then paste it in your notebook.

Lesson Comparing Solution,

2 Suspension and Colloid
Almost everything around us is made up of substances that are physically mixed
together to form a mixture. Most materials around us are mixtures. Some of them are readily
found in nature while others, we make ourselves.

What I Need to Know

After this lesson, you will be able to:
1. Compare solution, suspension and colloids;
2. List the difference between solution, suspension and colloids; and
3. Realize the differences of solution, suspension and colloids and their use in daily
life.

 What’s In

Review: Let’s Recall

In the previous lesson, you have already learned the different kinds of mixtures.
Classify the following mixtures as solution, suspension and colloid.

3. _____________ 2. _____________ 1. _____________

5. _____________ 4. _____________

What’s New
Activity 1: Classify Me
Directions: Look at the words in box. Choose and combine two or more words to form a
mixture. Some words can be used repeatedly. Then identify if it is solution, suspension and
colloids.
Water Milk powder Gravel Salt
Coffee powder Cooking oil Sugar

Mixture Kind of Mixture

What Is It

Solutions, Suspension and Colloids are kinds of mixtures. How do these

mixtures differ?

5
4
 Solutions are homogeneous mixture having two or more components uniformly
distributed while Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures where components can be clearly
distinguished from each other and are large enough to be seen without the microscope.
Colloids, on the other hand, are homogeneous mixtures wherein the component particles are
bigger than those in the solution.

What’s More
.
Activity 2. Comparing Kinds of Mixtures

What you need to do:
1. Prepare 3 glass jars or beaker and label them as A, B, C.
2. Fill each container with 200 ML water.
3. Add 1 spoon of salt to container A, then a spoon of powdered milk in container B
and a spoon of cooking oil in container C.
4. Record your answer on your Observation Table. Identify the distinct, observable
parts.
Observing Kinds of Mixture

Mixture No. of Components Observable Parts Kinds of Mixtures

1. salt and water

2. milk powder

3. oil and water

What I Have Learned

Directions: How do solution, suspension and colloids differ? Write your answers in your
notebook.
_______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________

What I Can Do

Directions: Give your opinion on this situation.

Oil and water are immiscible but when soap is added into them, they become one. Like
people, sometimes we are like oil and water. We can’t easily learn to adapt the attitude
and culture of other people.

should we do in order to reconcile our differences with one another?
Write your answer in your activity notebook.
