Review
What are the two types of mixtures?

⮚ Homogenous Mixture

⮚ Heterogenous Mixture
Presenting the new lesson
(Introductory Activity)
Study the given sample materials. Identify the type of
mixtures for each sample.
1. coffee and cream dissolved in water
2. milk solution
3. mixed toys in the room
4. paper clips and pins
5. soy sauce
Look at the pictures.

Write F if the statement describes a Fact image

and NF if it describes a Non- fact image.

B. Establishing a purpose for the

lesson (Motivation)

Integration: (English) Identify real or make-believe, fact

or non-fact images EN6VC-IIIa-6.2

C. Presenting examples/instances of ❖ Present pictures as example of the new

the new lesson lesson
(Demonstration / Modeling)
Have you ever tried separating stone from rice?

Or separating
a mixed bean?
 Page 3 of 12

If yes, How did you remove or separate them?

Answer: Usually by handpicking
Very good!
We can separate the rice and stone or mixed
beans by hand picking.
The examples that I presented to you have
something to do with our lesson for today.
You will determine and describe the techniques
applied in separating mixtures and you can apply
it to your daily living.
❖ Discuss the content of the lessons and
provide pictures as examples of each
type of technique.
The different ways or techniques in separating
mixtures.
Decantation
Decantation is the process of separation
of liquid from solid and other immiscible (non-
mixing) liquids, by removing the liquid layer at the
top from the layer of solid or liquid below.

D. Discussing new concepts and

practicing new skills #1
(Analysis)
This process can also be used to separate two liquids that do
not mix with each other for e.g., oil and water.

Note: The teacher demonstrates in front.

(separating the mixture - oil and water).

Evaporation
Evaporation is the process of the
separation of a solid substance that is dissolved in
water. The application is based on the fact that
solids do not vaporize easily, whereas fluids do.
 Page 4 of 12
On performing evaporation, the solid substance is
left behind as a residue. It is a vaporization
technique where the liquid changes into the
gaseous phase and residues on the surface.

Filtration
is the process of separating an insoluble
solid from the liquid substance by allowing the
liquid to pass through a porous material.

The porous material is usually a filter

paper. The method of separation applies only to
suspensions because solute and colloidal
particles are too small to be retained on the filter
paper. In this process, the filter paper allows the
liquid to pass through it and retains the solid
particles. The solid is called the residue, while the
liquid is called the filtrate.

Note: The teacher demonstrates in front using a

filter (separate the mixture - sand and water).

Sieving
Sieving is a method in which two or more
components of different sizes are separated from
a mixture on the basis of the difference in their
sizes using a sieve.

Note: The teacher may

demonstrate in front
using a strainer (separate the mixture - flour and
Rice).
 Page 5 of 12

Using Magnet

Components of mixtures can be separated

in many ways. The method that is being used
usually depends on the type of mixture. Metal and
non-metal objects can be separated by using a
magnet. There is no chemical reaction involved in
the separation of components.

Note: The teacher may demonstrate in front using

a magnet (separate the mixture – rice and
needles).

Metals which are made up of alloy, nickel,

or cobalt are easily attracted to the magnet, while
non-metals are not. Iron fillings, thumb tacks,
staple wire, pins, coins, and needles are some
common examples of objects that are attracted to
the magnet. When they mixed with non-metals,
these could be separated by magnet.
E. Discussing new concepts and With the help of different techniques, we can now
practicing new skills #2 separate mixtures easily.
(Analysis)
What are the different techniques that we can
apply in separating mixtures?

⮚ Decantation

⮚ Evaporation

⮚ Filtration

⮚ Sieving

⮚ Using Magnet

Very Good!

Now, let’s proceed to the group activity!

❖ Note: Set standards in doing Group

Activity

Talk Quietly (only your group should hear you)

 Page 6 of 12

Everyone’s ideas are important (Be respectful and

considerate)

Actively participate (Do your part, share with the

group)

Manage your behavior (Stay on task at your table)

Have a TEAM WORK!

❖ Guide the groups and address any

questions or difficulties they may have.

❖ Let the learners present their

output in front of their classmates.
F. Developing mastery ❖ Proceed to the online activity, in any
(Independent Practice) case that you do not have an internet
connection at school, I, the teacher will
use the Powerpoint Presentation.

(ICT Integration)
Using the link below, answer the given
liveworksheet.

Note: After answering all the given mixture,

click finish and check the answers. If the
answer is highlighted with green color means
correct, if not it is wrong.

Example:

❖ In any case that you do not have an

internet connection at school, use the
Powerpoint presentation.

In your EPP class, you were also taught to

bake.
For Example:
G. Finding practical applications of
concepts and skills in daily living You wanted to bake a cake for the birthday of
(Application) your cousin. You found out that the flour you will
be using is mixed up with some dried seeds.

What technique will you apply and why?

H. Making generalizations and ❖ Let the students answer the questions to

abstractions about the lesson summarize the concepts of the lesson.
(Generalization) What are the different techniques on separating
mixtures?

❖ Ask the learners regarding the application of

the techniques.
What technique will you apply if you’re going to
separate flour and rice?
Answer: Sieving
By applying one of the techniques, how will you
remove needles mixed with rice?
Answer: By using magnets.
