Guide Questions:
1. Based from what you have written on the know component of the chart, what
do you know about methods of separating components of mixtures and
compounds?
➢ Method of separating components of mixtures is a procedure or
process of segregating or moving the constituent or part of a substance
which is made up of two or more pure substances.
2. If you were to think of a question that you want to ask about methods of
separating components of mixtures and compounds, what question would that
be?
➢ What are the different methods of separating the components of
mixtures and compounds?

the precipitate using centrifugal or rotating motion.
3. The separation technique that takes advantage of different boiling points in
called distillation.
4. The best way to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen is by a
process called electrolysis.

WHAT’S IN

Situational Analysis

Your plane suddenly crushed in an island and luckily you survived. The island is full
of fruit bearing plants but no source of fresh water.

Guide Questions:
1. What would you do to convert the ocean water into potable water? How?
➢ To convert the ocean water into potable water, I should boil the water
and collect the vapor (thermal) or by pushing it through special filters
(membrane).
2. Which separating method could be used to separate water and salt from sea
water?
➢ To separate water and salt from the sea water, I used distillation
separating method. This is a process that involves the evaporation and
condensation of a liquid solvent from a mixture or solution.
WHAT’S NEW

Important Vocabulary Words

1. Component
➢ A part or element of a larger whole.
2. Separate
➢ Cause to move or be apart.

MINI-PERFORMANCE TASK

Activity 1 – Methods of Separation

Observations:
A. I have observed that almost 90% of the soil passed through the sieve. The
material small enough passed through the sieve and the bigger than average
was filtered and remained.
B. With the 1kilogram of soil only about 900bgraks of it was able to lass through
the sieve and about 100 grams of sediments Of small rocks remained on the
sieve hence the 10% of the material.

Questions:
1. What material passes though the holes of the sieve? Why?
➢ Only the water passed through the clothe filter since water was the only
material dense to pass through the clothe.
2. What did you find on the surface of the clothe? Is it safe to drink before
passing through that clothe? Why?
➢ On the surface of the cloth. I found remnants of the soil and sands, and
no water is still unsafe for you have filtered the sands and soil but the
cloth is the right material to filter or remove Microbes and other
colloidal particles.

You may choose to any of the added task to you.

❖ Make a community plan on how could you separate the persons with covid-19
from non-covid? What can you do to help your community?

Our common enemy is COVID-19. We understand how difficult

it is, which is why I created this community plan for separating
people with covid-19 from a non-covid source.

• Stay in a separate room from other family members or

behind a screen if sharing a room.
• Keep a distance of at least one metre from others and
wear a medical mask when in the same room as any
other household member.
• Use dedicated dishes, cups, eating utensils, and do not
share them.
• Eat a variety of fresh and unprocessed foods every day
to get the vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, protein and
antioxidants your body needs.

As the Economic crisis has been rising at this time of

pandemic. My sole contribution is to follow the established
protocols and to be vaccinated. Vaccination would be the only
way for us to distinguish ourselves from those, even if we could
partake in one of them. People who have been vaccinated
have a lower risk of becoming infected or dying.
