IV. PROCEDURES
A. Review previous lesson or presenting Begin the lesson by engaging the pupils with the following StudyJams
the new lesson video about mixtures:
http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/matter/mixt
ures.html
Based from the video clip, let the pupils answer the following
questions:
A. What are mixtures?
Mixtures are physical combinations of two or more substances that
retain their own properties and can be easily separated.
B. What are the two different types of mixtures?
Homogeneous mixtures and Heterogeneous mixtures
C. In which type of mixture can you see the different parts/
ingredients/ substances mixed together?
Heterogeneous mixtures
D. In which type of mixture where you can’t see the parts/ ingredients/
substances mixed together?
Homogeneous mixtures
E. What do you call the substance that is being dissolved in a solution?
Solute
F. What do you call the substance that dissolves another substance?
Solvent
G. What type of mixture is a solution?
Homogeneous mixture
H. In what phases/ states of matter can we form mixtures?
Solid, Liquid, and Gas
C. Presenting examples/instances of the Using the pupils’ responses, the teacher will present the lesson and tell
new lesson the pupils:
The substances which are separated with the help of this method can
be impurities which need to be removed or both the substances
which are separated can be useful products.
For example:
You must have seen your mother or grandmother separates tiny stones
from the rice granules before having it cooked for your meal. In this
scenario, your mother or your grandmother, must have been used
barely her hands to separate the impurities which are the tiny stones
from the useful substance which are the rice granules.
E. Discussing new concepts and The teacher will also lay emphasis on the following:
practicing new skills #2
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Handpicking as a Means of
Separating Solid Mixtures are mentioned below:
Advantages
1. It is the simplest method of separating substances from a mixture.
2. This method doesn’t need any special machinery for the separation
of substances.
3. It takes less time when used for a small quantity.
Disadvantages
1. It is not practical for large amount of substances.
2. It is only possible when components of the mixture are visibly
different in size or the size of each component of the mixture is enough
for a human hand to grasp or pick.
(The teacher will use a one-minute timer for the game which will be
projected using a laptop computer and a projector)
What will you do if you see a garbage bin which contains a mixture of
non-biodegradable wastes and biodegradable wastes?
H. Making generalizations and Let volunteer pupils state the advantages and disadvantages of
abstractions about the lesson handpicking as a means of separating mixtures.
J. Additional activities for application or Cite at least 10 examples of mixtures at home that can be separated
remediation by handpicking. Write your answers in your Science notebook.

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Review previous lesson or presenting The teacher will show the following pictures to the pupils.
the new lesson
KEY POINTS
Sieving is done by using a device to separate different sizes of
materials. The material is subjected to a mechanical force of vertical
and horizontal movement, with the help of container of mesh or
perforated bottom through which the material is shaken or poured.
ADVANTAGES
It does not require much skill and is a traditional method used
for separation.
It is a very cheap method as we do not need the installation of
sophisticated equipment.
Takes lesser time.
DISADVANTAGE
Since the efficiency of this method is dependent on having a
different particle size, it cannot be used to separate mixtures
which contain particles of the same size.
F. Developing mastery SIEVE IT TO SEPARATE IT!
EXPERIMENT
(1 class period)
Materials needed: sieve plate/ strainer, bowl, plastic cup, flour, rock
salt, sand, and pebbles
TASK 1
What to do:
1. Prepare the sieve plate/ strainer, bowl, plastic cup, flour, and rock
salt.
2. Mix or combine the flour and rock salt in the plastic cup.
3. Using the sieve plate/ strainer, perform the process of sieving to
separate the components of the mixture.
4. See to it that the bowl is aligned to the sieving plate/ strainer to
catch the component being sieved.
5. Observe what happens and record your observation in the table as
presented below.
TASK 2
What to do:
1. Prepare the sieve plate/ strainer, bowl, plastic cup, sand, and
pebbles.
2. Mix or combine the sand and pebbles in the plastic cup.

separate the components of the mixture.
4. See to it that the bowl is aligned to the sieving plate/ strainer to
catch the component being sieved.

the new lesson some of the famous artworks or paintings created by Fernando A.

landscape painting. (Cross-Curricular Integration in Arts)
D. Discussing new concepts and The teacher will then discuss the following concepts:
practicing new skills #1
KEY POINTS
Winnowing is the method of separating mixture in which heavier
components of the mixture are separated from the lighter
components with the help of the wind.
Example:
Rice winnowing is a process of separating small and large grains by air
flow practiced since the ancient human history especially in societies
where rice is the main source of carbohydrate (Asia, Africa, and Latin
America).
E. Discussing new concepts and The teacher will also discuss the following advantages and
practicing new skills #2 disadvantages of winnowing as a means of separating mixture.
ADVANTAGES
Winnowing is a method that does not require machines for
functioning.
It is based on physical labor, and it takes less time for
processing and very cheap.
DISADVANTAGES
Winnowing is a method where the heavier components of the
mixture are separated from the lighter substances. This process
is not suitable for the materials that are heavier than grains like
stones.
This method can be done only with the help of the wind.
TASK 1
What to do:
1. Prepare the hand fan, plastic cups, plates, dry sand, and flour.
2. Mix or combine the dry sand and the flour in the plastic cup.
3. Put the plate/ flat container on top of the table.
4. Using the hand fan, perform the process of winnowing to separate
the components of the mixture.
5. Observe what happens and record your observation in the table/
chart as presented below.
TASK 2
What to do:
1. Prepare the hand fan, plastic cups, plates, saw dust, and pebbles.
2. Mix or combine the saw dust and pebbles in the plastic cup.
3. Put the plate/ flat container on top of the table.
4. Using the hand fan, perform the process of winnowing to separate
the components of the mixture.
5. Observe what happens and record your observation in the table/
chart as presented below.
G. Finding practical applications of The teacher will let volunteer pupils answer the following questions:
concepts and skills in daily living 1. Can you still see farmers using the method of winnowing in
separating the filled grains of rice from the empty grains of rice they
have harvested?
Some pupils may answer YES, some may answer NO.
H. Making generalizations and The teacher will let volunteer pupils to describe the process of
abstractions about the lesson winnowing as a means of separating the components of a mixture.
Furthermore, he will let other volunteer pupils to identify the
advantages and disadvantages of winnowing.
J. Additional activities for application or Cite other examples of mixtures which can be separated through the
remediation process of winnowing.
