What have we discussed yesterday? (pupils’ responses)

So, what is a mixture?

Very good! Halo-halo
Can you give an example of mixture? Yes.
Because it is literally a mixture of many
4. Motivation ingredients. Halo-halo means mix.

What can you see?

Have you eaten/drank halo-halo? (responses)
Why do you think it is called halo-halo?
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): The pebbles sank at the bottom of the glass.
The water and the pebbles are mixed but
Set up two glasses of water.

Add a half spoon of salt to the second glass. Stir. The salt dissolved in water after it was
stirred and after a few minutes.
Class, can you observe what happened to the first glass?

What can you observe from the second glass?

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 A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where

in it. As a result, the salt and the water became a mixture
heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where
where the salt can never be separated from the water and the the components that make up the mixture

2. Discussion (pupil’s responses)
From the two mixtures you have observed what is a
heterogeneous and a homogeneous mixture?
-Share your ideas.
-Cooperate with the group.
-Work silently.

Can you think of another example of these kinds of mixture?

 3. Group Activity
Now, we are going to have a group activity. I will group
you into two and you are going to do an activity with your
group. But before that, what are first the standards to be
observed during group activity?
Direction: Each group will be given a water, alcohol,
sugar, salt, rice grains and corn. Each group shall make two
mixtures of heterogeneous and homogeneous. The first group
to make two mixtures of heterogeneous and another two of
homogeneous mixture earns higher points.
*Checking of Activity
The two types of mixture are the
heterogeneous and homogeneous mixture.
A heterogeneous mixture is a 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.

C. POST-ACTIVITY
1. Generalization
What are the two types of mixture?

What are the characteristics of the two mixtures?

2. Application
(Seat work)
List five mixtures found at home which are heterogeneous
and homogeneous.

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. Alcoholic drinks
9. salad
10. hot coffee

V. ASSIGNMENT
Define the following:
1. Solution
2. Solute
3. Solvent
