B. Motivation

Before we start, we are going to have an “Ready!”

activity that is called “DECODE ME!”, this is
related to our lesson that will be discussed
later, alright? Th All you have to do is to find
the corresponding letters of each code
number on the chart. Those code numbers
have corresponding words/terms related to
our topic today. Are you ready, class?

Here’s an example for you to further

understand the activity, okay?

So, who wants to volunteer for the first code?

Yes (calls a name of a student raising a hand).

(Stood up and answered) “MIXTURE,

ma’am!”
Okay, very good the answer is MIXTURE. Next
code, yes (calls another name)

“Ma’am, the answer is FILTER.”

Okay, very good. Seems like you are enjoying “Yes, ma’am another one please!” (Student
our activity. at the back)
Do you want another code to answer? Okay
for the last one. This is for you (calls the name
of the student at the back).

“The answer is MAGNET, ma’am.”

Very good! Those words or terms are related

to our topic for today which is all about
SEPARATING MIXTURES. Later, you will hear
those terms and what are those for so listen,
okay? But now, we are going “Yes, ma’am!

C. Activity Yes, Ma’am!

Now, we are going to do an activity. I

have here images of different kinds of
mixtures. All I want you to do is to identify
each substance that makes up the
mixture. Do you understand, class?

Okay. Now, who can identify the first

mixture in the picture? Yes? (Called
someone in the class)
 Ma’am the picture shows a mixture of
rocks and sand.

Very good! How about the next one? You,

the boy at the back? The next picture shoes a mixture of
water and pebbles, ma’am.

Very Good! How about the last picture?

Ma’am, the last picture is a mixture of
sand, salt, and iron fillings.

That is also correct! Now, I have a

question for you, class. Do you think it is Yes, ma’am.
possible to separate mixtures like this?

Very Good! We can do the separation of

mixtures by using a lot of different ways
or methods. But how are we going to do
those ways or methods? Well, that will be
answered by doing another activity. Are Yes, ma’am!
you ready, class?

C. Activity Yes, ma’am!

So, I have prepared 3 different mixtures

with 3 different objects that you may use
in this activity.
This time, you will do this activity as a
group. Kindly form 3 groups class, please.

GROUP 1: mixture of WATER and SOIL

with a CLOTH
GROUP 2: mixture of SAND and PEBBLES
with a STRAINER
GROUP 3: mixture of NAILS and SAND Yes, ma’am!
with a MAGNET

All you are going to do is to observe each

substance being mixed and you have to
identify what way or method you are
Yes, ma’am!
going to use to separate those mixtures.
Do you understand?

Okay. You will perform the activity by a

group so members should share ideas and
cooperate with your groups, okay? You
have 10 minutes to do the activity.

(After 10 minutes. Students will be asked

what they have observed and how they Yes, ma’am.
have separated mixtures assigned to
them.) Ma’am, we used the cloth to separate
the water from the soil. We observed

the water becomes clear.
Choose a representative to discuss your
observation. Okay, let us start with group

Ma’am, upon using the strainer, we

pebbles that is why sand passes through

some of the different ways/methods in
separating mixtures. We have more
different ways/methods in order to
separate a mixture and we are now going
to tackle those and what examples they
have. Pay attention, okay class?
D. ELABORATE

Discussion

The individual substances in a mixture can Yes, ma’am.

be separated using different methods
depending on the type of mixture. Are you
ready to find out what are those methods,
class?

People separate mixture for them to get the

banks or substances they need and give it
away with other substances from the mixture.

Mixing things are very important to everyone

and to our daily needs like cooking. On the Yes, ma’am.
other hand, there are lots of mixtures around
which specifically needed to be separated in

humans, right class?

For example, the rice grains. If we are going to

notice carefully, there are other small
substances mixed with it like small stones,
seeds, grass, dust, and insects which we don’t
want to be mixed in it right? And we don’t
want to eat those things, so we think of ways
on how to get rid of them. Another example is
the water.

In Barrios in the province, to get clean water,

people use a clean cloth to make sure it is
clean and safe to drink. The cloth traps the
dirt and the water pass through it.

These examples are some of the ways of

separating mixture, okay class? This means
how will you separate one thing from the
other. Again, what is separating mixture?
Anyone? Yes, (says the name)

That is correct. We to separate the unwanted

substance or things from the most needed
one. Now let us proceed to the
ways/processes/methods on how to separate
mixtures.

So, the first one is the MANUAL SEPARATION.

This is what is commonly called physical

manipulation where components should be
big enough to be seen and be picked by
hands. This is the process of separation where
you can use your hands to take away things
from the other. For example, is a jar of coins
or a piggy bank.

We separate the coins by its amount. Like we

put together the 5-peso coins, 1-peso coins,
and the ten-peso coins. Another example is
the laundry.

We separate the colored clothes from the

white ones. Same as we separate the dress
from pants. The next one is DECANTATION.

By this process, the mixture should be left

undisturbed. This can be done in two ways
which are the SCOOPING and POURING.

This can be applied when we are to cook rice.

We wash the rice and remove the water. The
water is less dense while the rice is the denser
one that is why it stayed at the bottom.
Another way is the SCOOPING.
When we boil beef meat or any other meat,
bubbles form and it contains fat which is not
good for our health, so we remove them by
scooping using cup or bigger spoon. Those
bubbles are less dense than the meat. The
next method is the FILTRATION.

This method which an insoluble solid is

separated from the liquid. During the process,
we use filter (mesh cloth or filter paper) to
separate the solid components from the
liquid. Example of this is water filtration.

In this process, we use clean cloth and put it

on a water container and filter the water so
that the dirt from like soil or sand or any other
components will be left on the cloth and the
water will be cleaned.

The next method is the SIEVING OR SIFTING.

This can be use in separating big and fine
components.

In sieving, we use strainer or big screen to
