 Lesson Changes in Properties of Solid
Materials when Mixed with other Solid
3.1 Materials

At home, we are using different materials for our daily use. We also mix
different materials for cooking our food, for washing our clothes, for the farm and
many other uses. Even when playing, you also are used to mix different materials.
This mixing or combining of materials may result in some changes.

What’s In

In your previous lesson you have learned about changes in the properties of
the materials when exposed to different temperatures. Let us try how you remember
your past lessons well.
Directions: Arrange the scrambled letters to form the correct word being described.
DIQULI 1. When the ice is heated, it becomes a __________.
INEARRGAM 2._________ is an example of material that changed its form from
solid to liquid when heated.
DOOLEC 3. Some materials changed back to its form from solid to liquid when
________.
DILOS _4. When water is put inside the refrigerator, it will change to _______.
HTEAED _5. An ice becomes water when _________.

This time, we are going to perform different activities about mixture. This is all
about the changes in the properties of the materials when mixed with other materials.
Before we proceed to the different activities, let us know first the meaning of mixture.

4. How did you find the answer to the different questions given?

What is It

⚫ Remember
We used tothese:
mix/ combine solid with other solid materials which forms a
mixture.
⚫ The mixture of solids, wherein we can still identify each material is called
heterogeneous mixture.
⚫ The mixture of solids that looks the same all throughout is called
homogeneous mixture.
⚫ The properties of each solid material in the mixture do not change. The
size,shape, color of each solid material remains the same even after mixing.
10
⚫ Solid materials can be mixed / combined with liquid materials. Some solid
materials completely dissolved in the liquid, but others do not.
⚫ Some solid materials settled at the bottom of the container, while others
stayed within the liquid.
