Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Science 6 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Matter!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their
personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs
and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the
module:
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You
also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their
own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as
they do the tasks included in the module.

What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the Mixtures. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many
different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The module is divided into three lessons, namely:
Lesson 1-Mixtures and Their Characteristics
Lesson 2-How Do We Separate Mixtures?
Lesson 3-Benefits of Separating Mixtures
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. describe the homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures;
2. describe solutions as homogeneous mixture;
3. infer that colloid and suspension are heterogeneous mixtures;
4. identify the techniques in separating mixtures such as decantation,
evaporation, filtering, sieving, and using magnet; and
5. tell the benefits of separating mixture from products in community

Lesson
Mixtures and Their
1 Characteristics
Many things we use are mixtures. We make mixtures. We “break
down” mixtures to get components that we need. We also modify them as
needed. Mixtures are made up of two or more substances that are not
chemically combined with each other. Mixtures are prepared in different
ways. Proof of this is the varying degrees of sweetness of sugar
solutions. Evaporated milk tastes different from condensed milk.
Cosmetics come in different colors. There are different flavors of ice cream. Different
alcoholic drinks have different biting tastes. There are all sorts of soaps, shampoos,
lotions and toothpastes available in the market. These products are prepared in many
different ways.
There are many kinds of mixtures. Some are naturally occuring mixtures while
others are human-mixed. Some mixtures are even edible. Can you give examples of
these mixtures?
What’s In
A fertilizer is used by farmers to help plants and crops grow better. Some farmers
use natural fertilizer, which is called a compost, it is a mixture of food waste, animal
manure and other biodegradable materials. Other farmers use chemical fertilizers,
which is a mixture of different chemicals, most notably, a chemical named ammonium
nitrate.
What is It
Types of Mixtures
paint milk
This movement of colloidal particles is called Brownian movement.
A colloid also has the ability to physically hold other substances on its surface. This
ability is called adsorption. A colloid exhibits the Tyndall effect, which is the ability to
scatter light so that a beam of light becomes visible.

Lesson
How Do We Separate
3 Mixtures?
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.
What’s In
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.
The art of filtration was known to early humans, who obtained clear water
from a muddy river by scooping a hole in the sand on a river bank to a depth below
the river water level. Clear water filtered by the sand would trickle into the hole. The
same process on a larger scale and with refinements is commonly used to purify
water for cities.
What’s New
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
