3. Review
Let us review ……

A pure substance is formed only by one substance . A mixture is a combination of two or more
substances.
So, what is a mixture? (pupils’ responses)
Very good!
Can you give an example of mixture?

4. Motivation Halo-halo
Yes.
What can you see? Because it is literally a mixture of many
Have you eaten/drank halo-halo? ingredients. Halo-halo means mix.
Why do you think it is called halo-halo?
 (responses)
Who among you drank coffee this morning?
If halo-halo is a mixture and you can identify its ingredients, do
you think coffee is a mixture and can you identify its
ingredients?
Do you want to know more about mixture?

B. DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES
1. Presentation
As we have discussed, mixture is a combination of two or
more substances and it is of two types:
Heterogeneous and the homogeneous mixture.
Now, I am going to show you something. Take note of
what you will observe.
(Teacher Demonstration):
Set up two glasses of water.
Add pebbles to the first glass. Stir.
The pebbles sank at the bottom of the
Add a half spoon of salt to the second glass. Stir.
glass. The water and the pebbles are mixed
but they are still separated after the water
Class, can you observe what happened to the first glass? is stirred.

The salt dissolved in water after it was

What can you observe from the second glass? stirred and after a few minutes.

Your observations are true. What happened to the two glasses

represents the two types of mixture. In the first glass, the
pebbles sank into the bottom of the glass. The mixture did not
completely mix and we can still identify the two substances
which are mixed together. This is an example of a
heterogeneous mixture.

While on the second glass, you have observed that the salt
eventually disappeared from the water because they dissolved in
it. As a result, the salt and the water became a mixture where
the salt can never be separated from the water and the mixture
looked just like pure water.-Homogeneous mixture

2. Discussion A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture

From the two mixtures you have observed what is a
heterogeneous and a homogeneous mixture?
Can you think of another example of these kinds of mixture?
where the mixed particles can be separated
or identified from the mixture while a
heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where
the components that make up the mixture
are uniformly distributed throughout it.
(pupil’s responses)

3. Group Activity -Share your ideas.

Now, we are going to have a group activity. I will group -Cooperate with the group.
you into three and you are going to do an activity with your -Work silently.
group. But before that, what are first the standards to be
 observed during group activity?
Direction: Each group should mix the materials and
identify the types of mixtures.
Group 1- will allow to use different kinds of fruits
Group 2 – will be use a water and a coffee powder
Group 3 – use a water and oil

C. POST-ACTIVITY The two types of mixture are the

1. Generalization heterogeneous and homogeneous
What are the two types of mixture? mixture.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture

What are the characteristics of the two mixtures?
where the mixed particles can be separated
or identified from the mixture while a
homogenous mixture is a mixture where
the components that make up the mixture
are uniformly distributed throughout it.

2. Application
(board work)
1. water and oil
2. salt and water
3. powder juice and water
4. water and rock (responses )
5. vegetable salad

3. Valuing
Do you think mixture is important in our daily life?
How important is it at home?
How important is it to you?

IV. EVALUATION
Direction: Identify whether the following mixture is a homogeneous or a heterogeneous
mixture. Write the answer on your answer sheet.

1. vinegar
2. bowl of colored candies
3. dishwashing detergent
4. cereal in milk
5. vegetable soup
6. pizza
7. gravel and sand
8. hot coffee
9. fruit salad
10. sea water
