JR: Good afternoon class! How are you today?

ALL: Good afternoon, Teacher! We are fine, thank you.


JR: Before we start our lesson, let me check your attendance for today. Raise your
hand and say present if your name is called.
(ATTENDANCE)
JR: Good! Everyone is present today.
Everyone, kindly check under your seats if there are pieces of paper and
wrappers. Please pick it up and sit properly.
(The teacher prepares his laptop and projector)
JR: Now, I have jumbled letters here that you need to identify. You can use your
scratch paper and pen.
ALL : (The student prepares their pen and paper)
JR: Okay, who can answer number 1?
JAYPEE: Matter
JR: How about number 2?
ANGELA: Mixtures
JR: Next number 3, who can answer it?
JULIA: Heterogeneous
JR: And last number 4.
MARJ: Homogenous
JR: Very Good! Your answers are correct! Let us now move to our lesson for today.
Based on the activity, what are the terms formed?
CLARISSE: Matter, Mixture, Homogeneous, and Heterogeneous
JR: Correct! What do you know about matter? Is this already familiar?
JULIA: Yes, matter is everything around you which is made up of particles.
It has mass and occupies space.
JR: Well done! We all know that matter is everything that occupies space and has
mass. Earth, and everything on it, is made of matter, and so are all the stars and
planets in the universe. Even the smallest particles are also matter.
How about mixture? What do you know about the term mixture?
MARJORY: Mixture is made up of two or more different chemical substances which are
not chemically bonded.
JR: Correct! Mixture is a process of mixing together or in this case, mixing other
substances together.
Now, have you ever tried mixing something?
ANGELA: Yes, like mixing a halo-halo, etc.
JR: Thank you for your answers.
Again, a mixture is when we combine two things into one. Now, what are the two
types of mixtures?
JAYPEE: Heterogenous and Homogenous mixtures
JR: The following words that we arranged from the activity have something to do with
our discussion for today.
Are you all ready and excited?
ALL: yes
Jr: Now, give me a thumbs up
ALL: Thumbs up
JR: EXCELLENT!
JR: Have you heard of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous before?
ALL: answer may vary
JR: Look at the picture. Can you identify the ingredients that are needed to bake bread?
These ingredients are mixed together in order to make bread.
(PRESENTING THE PICTURE)
ALL: yes sir
JR: Mixtures are everywhere – like the juices and milk that you drink, the viands and
snacks that you eat, even the soap and shampoo you use.
But what is a mixture? A mixture is a combination of two or more substances. In
some mixtures, you can identify each of the substances composing it.
Mixtures can be separated into its different components. Some mixtures can be
easily separated using simple means while some have to be separated by using
machines and advanced processes.
(PRESENTING PICTURES)
JR: Have you ever submitted yourself for a blood test?
CLARISSE: Yes, sir.
JR: What do you see after blood extraction?
CLARISSE: Blood inside the syringe.
JR: Blood is an example of a mixture. it is a mixture of plasma and blood cells.
Just by looking, do you think you can identify the components of blood?
JULIA: No, Sir.
JR: Some mixtures are made up of very tiny components which cannot be easily
identified. Some mixtures, like coffee, have components that are not clearly visible.
There are mixtures, like salad and pizza, in which you can see the ingredients easily.
These are all different kinds of mixtures with varied characteristics.
Now, I am going to show you something. Take note of what you will observe.

(Teacher demonstration):
Set up two cups of water.

Add beads on the first cup. Stir.

Add a half spoon of salt to the second cup. Stir.

JR:Class, can you observe what happened to the first cup?


JAYPEE: The beads sank at the bottom of the cup. The water and the beads are mixed
but they are still separated after the water is stirred.
JR: How about in the second cup? What did you observe?
ANGELA: The salt dissolved in the water after it was stirred for a few minutes.
JR: Your observations are true. What happened to the two cups represents the two
types of mixture.
In the first cup, the beads 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.
A mixture in which you can easily distinguish the components or wherein the
components retain their phases is called a non-uniform or heterogeneous mixture.

Heterogeneous mixtures have a main component or a base ingredient, which is


the most abundant component. The other components are mixed into it. The base
ingredient determines a lot of the mixture’s properties. The added ingredients determine
a lot of the mixture’s properties. The added ingredients also bring in their individual
properties into the [Link] mixtures are easier to separate because you
can still see their components.
While on the second cup, 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. It is an example of homogeneous mixture.

Uniform or homogeneous mixtures are liquid mixtures in which you cannot


clearly see the components or ingredients. Examples of uniform mixtures are rubbing
alcohol, seawater, and fruit juices. One type of uniform mixture is the solution.

In a solution, the additive is dissolved and thoroughly mixed into the main
component. The main component is called the solvent (usually in greater amount), while
the dissolved additive is called the solute (usually in lesser amount).

The salt is the solute (the substance that is dissolved) and the water is the
solvent (the substance that is used to dissolve).

Water is an example of a solvent that dissolves many substances. This is why it


is often referred to as the universal solvent.

Okay, now that you already know what heterogeneous and homogeneous is, let
us now try this activity.

(PRESENTING THE ACTIVITY)


JR: I will group you into two groups.
I will give you things here.
You will mix it and classify if it is homogeneous or heterogeneous, and explain why is it
heterogeneous and homogeneous.
For group 1
-Water and Sand
-Water and Vinegar
For group 2
-Water and Oil
-Water and Sugar
After doing the activity, each group will answer the following questions:
After that present it to the class.

JR: Okay class, if you’re finish let’s start with group 1.


GROUP 1 (CLARISSE, ANGELA) : The water and vinegar are the homogeneous,
because these are liquid mixtures in which you cannot clearly see the components or
ingredients.
While the water and sand are the heterogeneous, because mixing sand and
water have no reactivity toward each other, and so when mixed, they form a mixture in
which the sand sinks to the bottom of the water. Sand don't undergo any structural
change, and new substances aren't created.
(experimenting)
JR: Okay very good group 1. Next is group 2.

GROUP 2(JP JULIA MARJ): The water and oil are the heterogeneous, because it was a
mixture of two liquids which do not combine. When the liquids are stirred, but the oil and
water separate into individual layers. We have seen that oil floats on water when we stir
it. We can easily distinguish the components and the components retain their phases.

The water and sugar are the homogeneous, because this is the substance that
dissolves. The sugar becomes evenly distributed throughout the water.
(experimenting)
JR: Very good class! Thank you for your responses.
Now that you already know the homogeneous and heterogeneous, I have a
question.
Do you think mixture is important in our daily life?
MARJORY: Yes. Mixture is important in our daily lives because it is common and it
happens everyday. For example, the air we breathe it is mixture.
JR: How important is it at home?
JULIA: It is important at home because there is mixture in the food we eat and drinks we
consume.
JR; VERY GOOD!
CLARISSE: It is important for me because there is mixture in my everday life. Different
components of a mixture are separated in order to either separate the un-required
components from a mixture. To separate more than one useful component from a
mixture. To obtain pure substances.
JR: Okay, very good class.
To see if you really learned about mixtures who can give the two types of
mixture?
ANGELA: The two types of mixture are homogenous and heterogeneous.
JR: Correct! Mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
What is your understanding about homogenous and heterogeneous mixtures?
JAYPEE: Homogeneous mixture is one in which different parts such as salt and water
have been uniformly combined into a new substance (salt water), while a
heterogeneous mixture has parts that remain separate
JR: Correct! Nice one!
Homogenous mixture is a mixture were the components that make up the
mixture are uniformly distributed throughout it. Heterogeneous mixture is mixture where
the mixed particles can be separated or identified from the mixture.
What is your own understanding of mixture and matter? Or what have you
learned today?
MARJORY: A mixture is a substance in which two or more substances are mixed but
not chemically joined together, meaning that a chemical reaction has not taken place
and matter is anything that takes up space and can be weighed.

JR: Correct! Mixtures, solutions and matter are a common occurrence in our everyday
lives. They are the air we breathe, the food and drink we consume and the fabrics we
wear. By studying how chemists distinguish pure substances from mixtures and
solutions, students will start to appreciate how matter is organized at the atomic level.

Are there any more questions or clarifications?

ALL: NONE SIR


JR: If theres none, kindly get you pen and answer the following, please pass the
worksheets
(Distributing the worksheets)

JR: If you are done, please pass your paper to the front.
That’s the end of our lesson for today class. I hope you learned something.
Goodbye class.
ALL: Goodbye sir, thank you

Common questions

Homogeneous mixtures have uniform compositions, where components are not distinguishable, such as in salt water; hence, separating them often requires distillation or evaporation . Heterogeneous mixtures consist of visibly distinct substances or phases, like sand and water, which can easily be separated using physical means like filtration or decantation .

Mixtures play a pivotal role in understanding chemical reaction processes, serving as models for learning about combination and separation methods without engaging in complex reactions. In a classroom, demonstrating the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures aids students in grasping how substances combine physically without undergoing chemical changes. This foundational knowledge is crucial for further studies in chemistry .

Mixtures are omnipresent in daily life, comprising the air we breathe and the food and drinks we consume, which often consist of various mixtures for flavor, nutrition, and preservation. Understanding mixtures is crucial as it helps us comprehend the composition and safety of everyday items, such as ensuring water is purified by understanding its mixture status .

In a solution, a solute is the substance being dissolved, like salt or sugar, and a solvent is the substance doing the dissolving, typically a liquid such as water. Water, being a universal solvent, can dissolve many solutes, forming solutions like saltwater or sugar water, which are often used in classroom experiments to demonstrate the properties of homogeneous mixtures .

Understanding mixtures has practical implications at home, enabling better management of food preparation, cleaning, and safety. Knowledge about homogeneous mixtures helps in creating even solutions, such as sugar in water for beverages, while recognizing heterogeneous mixtures aids in separating components for cleaning or other purposes, like filtering sand from water .

The discussion on blood as a mixture of plasma and blood cells unveils the complexity of some everyday substances, where, despite being visibly uniform, they are intricate mixtures at the molecular level. This illustrates how substances can have layers of complexity beyond initial appearance, needing advanced methods for analyzing and understanding their composition .

The teacher's use of experiments, such as mixing sand and water or salt and water, provides a hands-on experience that concretizes the abstract concepts of heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. These experiments allow students to observe visible differences and apply theoretical knowledge practically, reinforcing learning through direct observation and engagement .

Mixtures illustrate the classification of matter into pure substances and mixtures, highlighting the distinction between combined substances with or without chemical bonding. This classification is crucial in scientific education as it lays the foundation for comprehending molecular interaction and reaction types, essential for advanced science learning and practical applications .

The teacher's questioning strategy, which includes inquiries about everyday mixtures and detailed follow-ups on experimental observations, fosters critical thinking by encouraging students to apply concepts to familiar contexts and articulate their understanding. This method ensures active participation and promotes deeper cognitive processing of the subject matter .

The initial activity of identifying jumbled letters, forming words like 'matter' and 'mixtures', primes students' curiosity and prepares them for structured learning. It helps in organizing prior knowledge and sets a thematic foundation for the lesson, making the subsequent discussions on mixtures more engaging and relatable, as students have already connected with the key terms .
