LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 2

MIX IT WELL!!!
Objective: 
1. Classify compounds and mixtures operationally according to their composition and physical
properties; and
2.  Prepare mixtures based on available materials.

Materials: 

 (Note: Seek assistance from your parent or guardian in preparing the sample of materials for this activity)
 
Procedures:
 
1.  Prepare the materials listed above and observe their physical properties.
2.  Fill out the table that follows with your observation based on the physical properties of each given material.
 
Table 2. Material and its Physical properties, color, phase of matter, and appearance.

Physical Properties
Material
Color Phase of Matter Appearance
(Solid, Liquid, Gas) (Uniform or  not uniform)

1. Table salt

2. Mongo seeds

3. Water

4. Cooking oil

5. Soy sauce (Toyo)

Q1. How did you determine the physical properties of a given material?

3. Based on your observations with the set of properties in table 1 and the composition of the material as
indicated on the table below, identify whether each material is a compound substance or a mixture.

Material Components Substance or Mixture

1.table salt Sodium (Na) and chlorine gas (Cl)

2. Mongo seeds Seeds & impurities (dust, tiny stones, dried leaves)

3. water Hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O)

4. Cooking oil Fatty acids-(C, H, O) Carbon, Hydrogen & Oxygen

 5. Soy sauce (Toyo) Soybeans, salt and water

4. Mix the sample material as indicated in the table below. Fill out the entries based on your observations by
answering each question with YES or NO.
