Name: _____________________________________ Grade and Section:_____________

Learning Competency: Describe techniques in separating mixtures such as decantation,
evaporation, filtering, sieving and using magnet.

I. Identify the technique in separating mixtures used in each given image.

__________1. __________2. __________3.

__________4.
_________5 _________6.

__________7. _________8. _________9.

___________10. ___________11. _________12.

II. Match the methods of separating mixtures in Column A to its definition in Column B.
Write the letter of your answer.
____13. DECANTATION A. is the process of separating an insoluble
solid from the liquid substance by allowing
the liquid to pass through a filter paper
____14. FILTRATION B. A mixture of solute and solvent may be
allowed to stand to let the undissolved
substance to settle at the bottom of the
container.
____15. SIEVING C. The process typically involves heating
the mixture until liquid evaporates into
water vapor.
____16. HANDPICKING D. Used to separate a dry mixture which
contains different sizes of components by
passing through a sieve
____17. PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY E. If one of the components of the mixture
has magnetic properties, a magnet can be
used to separate the mixture.
____18. EVAPORATION F. This is only useful when the particles are
large enough to be seen clearly,
especially the solid components, so that
it can be picked easily.
____19. USE OF MAGNET G. To separate the colors of the ink, it is the
most used method of separating mixture
____20. WINNOWING H. Wind is the key factor in using this
method

III. Write the correct method to separate each given mixture

MIXTURE Method to separate mixture

21. Salt and water
22. Sugar and water
23. Rice and meatballs
24. Sand and water
25. Flour and rice grains
26. Paperclips and sawdust
27. Sand and pebbles
28. Metal wires and haystack
29. cloth and water
30. rice grains and water
31. pens and hairclips
32. coins and flour
33. oil and water
34. spaghetti pasta and water
35. Rice grains and rice stalks

Learning Competency: Describe techniques in separating mixtures such as decantation,
evaporation, filtering, sieving and using magnet.
I. Identify the method of separating mixtures as seen in the images given.

________1. _______2.

_________3. _________4.

II. TRUE or FALSE. Write TRUE if the statement is correct, and FALSE if not.
________1. A mixture of milk and pebbles can be separated by filtration.
________2. Sieving is used when the components are of different sizes
________3. A mixture of sand and milk can be separated by handpicking.
________4. When you want to remove excess water from meat, you can use a filter.
________5. We can only use magnet if there is a component with metallic property.
III. Put a check mark on the box before the number, if the situation given is a
beneficial effect of method of separating mixture, cross out the box if not.

1. The use of magnets can easily detect the metal contaminants that accidentally
dropped to the food products during food processing.
2. To separate dust from large solid debris, construction site can install filtration
machinery.
3. During water treatment, filtration puts the dirt into fresh water.
4. During decantation, it mixes the lumps, dust and flour mixture.
5. Our nostrils and the hairs inside it, filters the air that we breathe in.
