Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and evaluated by the Development and Quality
Assurance Teams of SDO TAPAT to assist you in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to
12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

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.

For the learner:

This module will help you learn important science ideas. You will understand these ideas through various
activities.

Below are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do Not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the module.
2. Don’t forget to answer What am I good at? before moving on to the other activities included in
the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your
teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and gain deep
understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

 What’s my target

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master the nature of
matter. 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 focuses on:
Lesson 2: Describing the Appearance of Homogeneous & Heterogeneous
Mixture
The following are the skills or competencies expected to learn in this module.
Main task:
● Describe the appearance and uses of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
Subtasks:
● Classify mixtures into homogeneous and heterogeneous (S6MT-Ia-c-1.3)
● Describe the characteristics of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture
(S6MT-Ia-c-1.4)
● Identify common examples of solutions found at home and describe their uses (S6MT-
Ia-c-1.5).
● Define and identify the solute and the solvent in a solution (S6MT-Ia-c-1.6).

4. What type of homogeneous mixture is shown? _________________

What’s the meaning

REMEMBER:
⮚ Homogeneous mixtures have only one phase or have uniform appearance throughout.
Heterogeneous mixtures are made up of more than one phase and can be separated by physical
means.
⮚ Solution is a homogeneous mixture where the particles of the other substance spread evenly
through the particles of the other substance. It is made up of solute and solvent. Solute is a
substance that dissolves. Examples of solute are coffee powder, sugar and salt. Solvent is the
substance that is used to dissolve solute. Example of a solvent is water.
⮚ Solution can be a solid, liquid or gaseous phase. There are solid solutions which can be in any
phase and a solvent in a solid phase. Examples of solid solutions are steel and bronze, used for
making coins, gadgets and appliances at home. A liquid solution consists of solute in any phase
dissolved in a liquid. Examples of liquid solutions are water and vinegar. Gaseous solution
consists of gas solute and gas solvent. Example of this is air.
⮚ Water and sugar are a solution. Sugar is a material miscible to water. When two liquids are mixed
with each other in all proportions, they are said to be miscible. If two liquids form a layer and do
not blend together, they are considered immiscible.
The following affects the formation of mixtures
❖ Temperature of the liquid (heating)
Hot water has molecules that move rapidly and come in contact more frequently with the solute
particles. Most solid substances dissolve faster in hot water than they do in cold water.
❖ Agitation of Solution (Stirring)
Stirring is a method of dissolving substance by using mechanical force (manually or using
machines) with a stirring rod. Through stirring, the particles are moving rapidly which hastens the
contact between the surface of solute and solvent particles.
❖ Size of a solid materials (pulverizing)
Powdering or pulverizing is done by making the particles of solids smaller to make them dissolve
faster when mixed with the solvent. Fine table salt dissolves faster than rock salt.

What more to do

Let us read the short story below and answer the questions given. Write your answer in the
space provided.

Lucas' mornings always include drinking a cup of hot chocolate. One sunny day, after putting the
sugar, chocolate, and milk, together, he accidentally poured cold water into the mixture instead of hot
water. Curious as to how it will turn out, he proceeded to stir the mixture and noticed that even after
stirring for longer than usual, some of the chocolate powder still did not fully dissolve.

6
 Questions:
1. What happened to the chocolate made by Lucas?
2. What are the three factors that would make solid mixtures dissolve fast?
3. What kind of mixture is a chocolate drink?
4. What do you think is the reason why chocolate did not dissolve completely in
cold water? Why would it dissolve completely in hot water?

What did I get

➢ Mixtures is a substance made by combining two or more different materials that can be
separated by physical means.
➢ Mixtures are classified into two types; these are homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous
mixture.
➢ Solution is a type of homogenous mixture where one substance is dissolved to another
substance. It has two parts: the solute and solvent
➢ The solute is the substance that is being dissolved while the solvent is the substance used
to dissolve the solute. Examples of solute are sugar, salt, chocolate bar and juice powder
while water is the best example of solvent.
➢ There are many factors that affect the solubility of the solute to dissolve in solvent, these
are sizes of particles, stirring of mixture and temperature.
