Subject Area: Science 6 Quarter: One Unit: 1

Unit Topic: Classification of Matter No. of Days: 8

STAGE 1: DESIRED RESULTS

Content Standard:
The pupils demonstrate understanding of the properties of pure substances and mixtures.

Lesson/ Topics:

 Pure Substances and Mixtures

 Types of Mixtures

Transfer Goal:
The students will be able to create models of molecules in different kinds of matter and make a chart,
poster, or multimedia presentation of common elements showing their names and symbols.

Essential Understandings: Essential Questions:

The students will understand that: The students will keep considering the following:

1. Properties and classification of matter
determine its usefulness.
2. Matter has distinct characteristics and
properties that may be useful and/or
harmful.
3. One kind of mixture is distinguished
from another kind because of its
characteristics and properties.
4. Mixtures exist in different forms, each
with its own characteristics and
properties.
1. Why are pure substances and mixtures important
to our lives?
2. Why do we have different forms of matter?
3. How can we apply the knowledge about matter in
our lives?
4. How could mixtures be classified?
5. How does one benefit from an understanding of
the classification of mixtures?
6. How can we apply the knowledge about mixtures
in our lives?

KNOWLEDGE
The students will know…
1. Classification of matter and its examples.
2. Classification of elements, its
characteristics, and examples; metals and
nonmetals.
3. Classification of mixtures and their
examples.
SKILLS
The students will be skilled at:
.
1. Differentiate pure substances from mixture
2. Classify pure substances as to elements and
compounds based on their characteristics
3. Describe how elements are formed a compound
and the characteristics of compound.
4. Describe the appearance of mixtures.
5. Classify mixtures as homogeneous or
heterogeneous.
6. Give the uses of uniform ad non-uniform
mixtures.
7. Use various types of reasoning in classifying
mixtures.

STAGE 2: ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE

GROUP TRANSFER TASK
Goal – Apply the concept of matter in every day circumstances.

Role – a chef

Audience – All learners in Grade 6 and Science Teacher.

Situation – Present a vegetable salad mixture to the class and ask them: Have you ever prepared a vegetable
salad? Let them share their experiences in preparing vegetable salad, and be able to link this lesson for the day.
What kind of matter did we form?

Product/output presentation – Performance Task

Rubrics:

Product – 40 %
Presentation – 40%
Teamwork – 20%

Other Evidences:
Reflection Logs Review Exercises Quizzes
Board work exercises Oral Recitation Performance Task
Reflection Logs Chapter Test

STAGE 3: LEARNING PLAN

Summary of Key Learning Events and Instruction

The teaching and learning will involve

Day 1: (Pure Substances): Activate the students’ background knowledge through the game “Name that
Thing” then allow them to classify the materials.

Day 2: (Pure Substances): Discuss how to classify matter, then allow them to do Think-Pair-Share where
they will identify the name of the element, its symbol and uses. Then they will share the information of
elements with their partner.

Day 3: (Pure Substances): Let the pupils make a journal of the properties of some elements and their uses.
State some ways on how can they conserve natural resources.
Day 4: (Pure Substances): Note taking: Let the pupils read text on kinds of compound. Let them do note
taking using a Frayer’s model diagram.
Day 5: (Pure Substances): POE Method: Let the pupils Predict, Observe, and Explain a certain change.
They will be grouped into elements and compounds. They group will stand if the examples mentioned by
the teacher describe their group.
Day 6: (Types of Mixtures): Allow the students to do Jot-Pair-Share. Ask some questions about mixtures,
Pupils will be given two minutes to write down everything that they know about mixtures. After the
allotted time, they will share their responses with a partner, then with the whole class.
Day 7: (Types of Mixtures): Allow the students to do their collaborative activity – demonstration through
making a vegetable salad mixture (performance task).
Day 8: (Types of Mixtures): Process Skills. Allow the students to compare elements and compounds
using a Venn Diagram.
Day 9: Unit Summative Assessment
