Quarter: _1_ Week No: _5_ SSLM No. _5_ MELC(s): Distinguish mixtures from
substances based on a set of properties (S7MT-Ie-f-4)
 Objectives: 1. Distinguish a heterogeneous mixture.
2. Determine the properties of a heterogeneous mixture.
3. Prepare a heterogeneous mixture using materials available at
home.

Let Us Discover

In the previous lesson, you have learned about homogeneous mixtures. You
have found out that when all parts of the mixture have the uniform appearance and
properties, it is classified as homogeneous.
In this Simplified Self-Learning Module, you will learn about the other
classification of mixture which is heterogeneous mixture.
When different parts of the mixture can be identified, it is heterogeneous. A
heterogeneous mixture is not uniform and all its different components can be seen or
distinguished from each other. It does not have a definite composition and not all
parts will look the same as it may not be evenly distributed to all its parts. Another
property of a heterogeneous mixture is that the different substances that make it up,
retain its own properties.
Think for example of an ice cube (solid phase) placed in a glass of soft drink
(liquid phase). The ice still retains its properties, the same as the soft drink.

 Another example is a pizza that is topped with cheese and bacon (all in solid
phase). Each pizza slice may be different from one another and you will be able
identify each part from another.

A mixture of oil (liquid) with water (liquid). It could be a combination of two

liquids but still you can identify an oil from water.

water

Different phases and different parts can be identified in a heterogeneous

mixture. In other words, it is not exactly the same all throughout.

Let Us Try

Activity 1.TRUE or FALSE

A. Read the following statements about heterogeneous mixture. Write TRUE if the
statement is correct and FALSE if it is incorrect.

_______ 1. The different parts of a substance can be identified in a heterogeneous

mixture.
_______ 2. It is uniform all throughout.
_______ 3. The parts can’t be distinguished from each other.
_______ 4. The different components of a heterogeneous mixture retain its own
properties.
_______ 5. It can be made up of either the same or different phase.
_______ 6. Orange juice is an example of a heterogeneous mixture.
_______ 7. It is made up of a single phase only.
_______ 8. Mineral water is a heterogeneous mixture.

 _______ 9. A pure substance is a heterogeneous mixture.
_______ 10. It has fixed proportions.

 Let Us Do

The next activity will help you better understand what heterogeneous mixture
is. Perform this simple experiment at home and answer the following questions.

Activity 2. Dancing Raisins

I. Objective:
The learners should be able to identify the constituents of a mixture.
II. Materials:
1 glass of Sprite or 7-Up
clear glass or plastic cup
raisins

III. Scientific Method:

Problem: Is soda a mixture of liquid and gas?
Hypothesis: Soda is a mixture of liquid and gas.
Procedure:
1. Place the sprite/7-Up into the clear glass or plastic cup and observe the
bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass.
2. Drop 5 raisins into the glass of soda and observe and describe what is
happening with the raisins for a few seconds.
IV. Analysis of Data:
1. As you pour the soda into the glass, where are the bubbles coming from? What do
you think are these bubbles and where do they come from?
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
2. Do the raisins sink or float? After observing for a few minutes, what is happening
to the raisins?
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
3. What is happening to the raisins when these bubbles attach to its surface?
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
4. What happens to the bubbles when the raisin reaches the surface of the soda?
What happens to the carbon dioxide gas in the bubbles?

5. Will your observation in number 2 continue to happen? If there are no more
bubbles, what will happen to the raisins? If the raisins become soggy, what will
happen to it?

Conclusion:
The statement “Soda is a mixture of liquid and gas (hypothesis) is TRUE / FALSE
(underline one).
The fizz in the soft drinks is because of ________________________________.
This will cause the objects that are lighter than the liquid to ____________________.

Let Us Apply

Activity 3.Show me the Picture!

A. Using the materials available at home, prepare a heterogeneous mixture. Take a

picture and paste it on this activity sheet or draw a picture of your mixture. Identify
and label the parts.
