IDENTIFY AND DESCRIBES THE DIFFERENT

METHODS OF SEPARATING A SOLID FROM A

SOLID.
DEMONSTRATE THESE METHODS.

MATERIALS:


Water
Screen
Palay
Magnet
Paper clips
Pebbles
sand
com grains
salt
sawdust


A. PREPARATORY ACTIVITY:

1. Why can we separate mixture by physical
means? Water, we put the mixture in water. The
lighter one floats and the beaver one sinks. This
is called flotation.
2. When one solid is mixture is soluble in water
while the other one is not, stir the mixture and
the soluble one dissolves. This method is called
solution.
3. When one solid is magnetic while the other is
not, use a magnet to separate them.
4. When one solid is smaller than the other, use a
screen to separate them.
B. DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES:

Our problems today are :
How can we separate solids in a mixture when
one is heavier than water and the other is lighter
than water?
How can we separate solids when one is
soluble in water and the other is not?
How can we separate solids when one is
magnetic while the other is not?
How can we separate solids when one is
smaller than the other?
How can we separate solids when both are
soluble in water but have different colors?

GROUP YOURSELVES INTO 4
Identify the materials for each group activity.
Perform the activities
Describe what you did.

Group 1 - Mixture of sawdust and palay
Group 2 - Mixture of salt and sand
Group 3 - Mixture of paper clips, pebbles and iron
fillings
Group 4 - Mixture of sand and corn grains


EACH GROUP REPORTS WHAT THEY DID BY
GIVING THE DIRECTIONS STEP BY STEP

1. When one solid in a mixture is heavier that
water and the other is lighter than water.

GENERALIZATION
What are the methods in separating solid in a
mixture?

1. What solid mixtures can you separate by the
methods we learned?

2. Describe how you will do it by giving the
direction step by step
APPLICATION:
EVALUATION:
What method will you use to separate these
mixtures?
__________ 1. hairpins, thumbtacks and
rubber bands
__________ 2. sand and pebbles
__________ 3. salt and bean seeds
__________ 4. rice husk and rice grains
__________ 5. flour and mango seeds
