XSEED LESSON PLAN

Subject: Science
Grade Level: 7
Teacher: Ms. Eureca Francesca A. Murillo
Date: September 23, 2020

AIM:
Students will be able to justify that solutions are mixtures.
 Focus: Explain how some properties of solutions are different from those of mixtures and
why they are still considered as mixtures.

ACTION:
 Show the pictures of air, salt water, and soft drinks. Ask: What else is common among
the three? Why are their components not distinctly visible?
 Instruct: Observe the pictures properly.
Say: This is because the components of these mixtures are completely dissolved in each
other. These mixtures are called solutions.
 Instruct: List down 5 kinds of solutions on your paper.
ANALYZE:
Part 1: Activity Discussion
 Instruct a few students to read the 5 kinds of solution. Ask: Why have you chosen this
answer?
 Summarize student responses.
Part 2: Questions to Guide Discussions
1. Show: a picture of and ink and water mixture
Show this picture:

Ask: What can you observe in the picture? Is

this a mixture? Why/Why not?
 Summarize student responses.
2. Say: The mixture of ink and water is also called a solution. Ask: So what is a solution?
What is it composed of?
Summarize student responses. Explain: A solution is a mixture in which a substance
completely dissolves in other substance and is uniformly distributed in it. A solution has
2 components- solute and solvent. The substance present in smaller amounts in the
solution is called the solvent. For example, in the ink and water mixture, ink is the solute
and water is the solvent.
3. Ask: What type of mixture is a solution- homogeneous or heterogeneous? Why do you
think so?
Summarize student responses. Explain: Solutions contain one or more than one type of
particles which are uniformly distributed. Thus, solutions are homogeneous mixtures. All
solutions are mixtures, but all mixtures are not solutions.
4. Ask: What will happen if we pass a salt solution through a sieve? If we leave salt
solution out in the sun? What does this tell you about the solution of salt and water?
Summarize student responses. Explain: The components of a salt solution will pass
through the sieve without being separated. But, when the solution is left out in the sun,
the water will evaporate and the salt will be left behind. This shows that unlike
heterogeneous mixtures, solutions cannot be separated by simple physical methods like
filtration or sedimentation as their particles are very small. They need slightly advanced
techniques like evaporation to separate the components.
