IV. PROCEDURES

A. INTRODUCTION
(1 Day – Sept. 21, What I Need to Know
2020) Scientists use knowledge about separating mixtures to solve
real world problems. Humans and other animals need clean
water to survive. Sometimes, water can get polluted from litter,
oil spills, soil erosion, etc. When water is polluted, scientist
often look for ways to clean the water.
 
It is important to be able to separate mixtures to obtain
a desired component from the mixture and to be able to better
understand how each component contributes to the properties,
chemical and physical of the resulting mixture.
 
The activities in this lesson are arranged in sequence.
This will help you develop the knowledge and skills to master
the objectives of this lesson.
After going through this lesson, you are expected to:
1. Identify the importance of separating mixtures
2. tell the benefits of separating mixtures from products
in the community
3. separate desired materials from common and local
products
 

What’s New
Today, we will
discuss the benefits of separating the mixtures to the
community but before that I will give you trivia. Are you ready?
 
All the way back to Ancient History, industrious humans have
separated mixtures in order to obtain the specific substances
that they need. One example of this is extracting metal from ore
in order to make tools and weapons. We will discuss some
other examples of separation below. The way in which different
substances in a mixture are separated is called a process.
There are a number of different processes used for separation.
Many of them are very complex and involve dangerous
chemicals or high temperatures. A lot of important industries in
the world today are based on separation processes.

Let the pupils answer the activity on page 36.
Directions: Using the English Alphabet, find out the words in
each number by identifying the letters that correspond
to their sequence in the alphabet.
 
You can find mixtures anywhere. Everyday you use
mixtures at home, school and in any place. The food you eat,
the liquid you drink and even the air you breathe — these are
all mixtures. Your mothers is so hygienic. Before eating they
always tell you to wash your hands, right? Wondering why?
Because your hands may contain germs. We separate the
germs from our hands by washing. So let’s study about the
purpose of separation of substances so that we can learn about
its benefits.
It is important to be able to separate mixtures to obtain
a desired component or important component from
the mixture and to be able to better understand how each
component contributes to the properties, chemical and physical
of the resulting mixture.
 

B. DEVELOPMENT
(1 Day - Sept. 22, What I Know
2020) Let the pupils answer the pre-assesment activity on page 37 to
38

What’s In

Evaporation in the community, the way we live or also called as

"lifestyle" will be easier. This process of evaporation is usually
done in food making or in processing ingredients/spices
like salt. And it is also a part of our water cycle. This
evaporation process helps the water cycle to create clouds that
will turn to rain eventually.
Decantation is beneficial in many areas of the
community, for example separating oil and water, requires
decantation. Wine makers also use decanting to separate the
fermented drink from the sediments that settle at the bottom
after fermentation. Here are some instances wherein
decantation is the process of separating mixture: Separating
dirt from water. Muddy water can be cleared up by decanting.
Separating cream from milk. Cream is separated from milk by
decantation.
Separating oil from water: Decanting the mixture allows
the oil to be poured off the water. Mint Tea: Pouring boiling
water over mint leaves and sugar in a glass. Water is decanted
from cooked potatoes, carrots and peas. Clearing dams and
Tanks: Muddy water is left to settle to the bottom before clear
water is drawn from the upper levels. Decanted water will be
clearer but not necessarily any cleaner as bacteria will remain.
While filtration is an important separation technique in a
laboratory, it's also common in everyday life. Brewing coffee
involves passing hot water through the ground coffee and a

Page 3 of 6
 filter. The liquid coffee is the filtrate. Steeping tea is much the
same, whether you use a tea bag (paper filter) or tea ball
(usually a metal filter). The kidneys are an example of a
biological filter. Blood is filtered by the glomerulus. Many
aquariums use filters that contain fibers that capture
particulates. Belt filters recover precious metals during mining.
Water in an aquifer is relatively pure because it has been
filtered through sand and permeable rock in the ground.
 
You are an officer of the YES-O in your school. One of the
organization’s projects collecting of garbage that can be
reused or recycled. How would you gather the garbage and pile
them properly and how would it be beneficial for the
organization and in the environment?
 
 

What is It
Seawater is a mixture of salt and water. Exposing it under the
sun would make the water evaporate leaving the salt behind.
Solar evaporation is only one way to separate mixture.
Seawater is an example of a homogeneous mixture. It is a
mixture of water and salt. In some coastal areas, they harvest
salt from seawater, and just by leaving them under the sun,
rock salt will be left in the trays. There are different ways of
separating mixtures, we have decantation, filtration, sieving,
evaporation and using magnets.
These are some benefits of separating mixtures in the
community:
1. To have a drinking water
2. To segregate of non-biodegradable to biodegradable
wastes
3. To separate mixtures in mining gold copper and
other minerals
4. To clean oil spills
5. To separate sand from rocks in construction
 

C. ENGAGEMENT
(2 Days – Sept. 23 What’s More
to Sept. 24, 2020) Let the pupils do the independent activity, the Activity 1:Deep
Thinking on page 41.
Directions: Draw a rectangle on the left side and circle on the
right side, at the Center, draw an arrow pointing the
circle. Make a diagram like this for each technique in
separating mixtures (decantation, evaporation,
filtration, sieving and using magnet).
 

Followed by Activity 2: Arts Time! on page 42

Directions: Draw activities in the community that use the
techniques in separating mixtures (decantation,
evaporation, filtration, sieving and using magnet). One
for each technique.

On page 42, ask the pupils to do the Activity 3: You Complete

Me!
Directions: Think of the benefits of separating mixtures and
write your answer.
 

What I Can Do
With the help of family member let the pupil do the : Deep
Thinking!
Directions: Analyze the situation below and answer the
following questions. Write your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.
 

Additional Activiies
Ask the pupils to do the additional activities on page 16 for
farther understanding of the concept.

Check and Cross!

Directions: Read the following statements. Put a check before
each number if the statement is one of the ways in
separating mixtures that would benefit the community
and cross if it is not. 
D. ASSIMILATION
(1 Day – Sept. 25, What I have Learned
2020) This time pupils will generalize the concept of the subject
matter by answring the following questions.
1. What are the benefits of separating mixtures in our daily life?
 
Concept that need to remeber by the pupils.
1. There are different ways of separating mixtures, we have
decantation, filtration, sieving, evaporation and using
magnets. There are some benefits of separating mixtures in
the community.
2. Have a drinking water. In sea water, to have a drinking water
you may use there of the following process, filtration and
evaporation. Different water companies have separate
modern way of water treatment to make it potable.
3. Segregation of non-biodegradable to biodegradable wastes.
By means of
separating mixtures, people can distinguish biodegradable
from
non-biodegradable. Recyclable materials can be source of
income from others.
4. Separating mixtures in mining gold copper and other
minerals. By filtration,
miners can separate those minerals from rocks.
5. Cleaning oil spills. Oil and water can be separated given the
knowledge of their

Page 5 of 6
 properties.
6. Separating sand from rocks in construction. By means of
sieving, rocks on sand can be separated which is essential in
building infrastructure and houses.
