Learning Plan in Science 6

1st Quarter/Week1 / Day 1

Content: Mixtures and their Characteristics

Content Standards: Different types of mixtures and their

characteristics

Learning Competency: Differentiate pure substance from

Mixtures

Code:

I. Objective :
Differentiate pure substances from mixtures
II. Subject Matter
Pure Substance Versus Mixtures
A. Science Concept

Pure Substance are material that is composed of

only one type of particle; examples of a pure

substance include gold, oxygen and water. Mixture

are materials made up of at least two different pure

substances.

B. References:
The New Science Links page 45-46
C. Materials:
Led TV, video clips, ppt
D. Science Processes:
Observing, Inferring, Predicting
Values Integration:
 The world indeed is a mixture of truth and make-believe.

Discard the make-believe and take the truth.

III. Learning Task
A. Engagement:
1. Singing Science Song
2. Review
3. Motivation

Classify the materials as to pure

substance or mixture. Write your answers on

the appropriate column in the chart below.

 LEARNERS MATERIAL
PURE SUBSTANCE VS. MIXTURE

We can classify matter as solid, liquid, or gas. But

there are other ways to classify matter, as well — such as pure

substances and mixtures. Classification is one of the basic

processes in science. All matter can be classified as either a

pure substance or a mixture.

PURE SUBSTANCES
 A pure substance has a definite and constant

composition — like salt or sugar. A pure substance can be

either an element or a

compound, but the composition of a pure substance

doesn’t vary.

MIXTURES

Mixtures are physical combinations

of pure substances that have no definite or

constant composition — the composition of a

mixture varies according to who prepares the

mixture.

Although chemists have a difficult

time separating compounds into their specific

elements, the different parts of a mixture

can be easily separated by physical means,

such a filtration.

For example, suppose you have a

mixture of salt and sand, and you want to

purify the sand by removing the salt. You can

 do this by adding water, dissolving the salt,

and then filtering the mixture. You then end

up with pure sand. Mixtures can be either

homogeneous or heterogeneous

TASK CARD 1

Problem:

How do pure substance and mixture

differ?

Materials:

Salt, sugar, jar of pebbles, gel,

transparent bottle of vegetable oil, water, detergent

emulsion, 1 bottle of water mixed with food coloring, sugar

and coffee powder, jar of sulphur and iron filings, mixture, 1

small magnifying glass, spoon, 4 petri dishes, 1 magnet, 4

test tubes, 1 test tube rack, water

What to do?

1. The first seven materials should be levelled A to G

2. Use your own techniques to determine if each sample is a

pure substance or a mixture.

3. Explore with materials/tools to see and determine whether

each sample is a pure substance or a mixture.

4. Fill in the data below
