EXPLORE
Working in groups, the students will perform Activity #7 entitled “It’s Grocery Time” TG and LM in Science 9
EXPLAIN
1. In groups, the students will be asked to present their data/answers in front of the Manila Paper and Pen
class.
2. The students will answer the following guide questions:
a. Based on the given activity, what food do you regularly consume which gives
your body a lot of carbon (C) atoms and Sodium (Na) ions?
b. Are these foods good for your body? Why? Research on how much of these
types of food recommended for your age group.
c. In what other ways can you make use of the concept on percentage
composition?
ELABORATE
Depending on how the students present their data, the teacher will discuss further chalk and board,
the concept of percentage composition of a compound using medicine products and calculator
agricultural fertilizer items as examples and particularly on how to solve for the
composition given a certain formula and vice versa, using the formula below:
% element = (Mass of the element /Total mass of the compound) x 100
EVALUATE
Quiz: Pen and Paper,
1. A component of antacid tablet is aluminum hydroxide, Al (OH)3. Determine Calculator
the percentage of oxygen in the given compound.
2. Epsom Salt is a laxative used in veterinary medicine and commonly used in
households as an anti-inflammatory soak. It is a hydrate, which means that it
contains trapped water molecules in the solid structure. The chemical
formula is MgSO4.7H2O. What is the percentage composition of each
element in the compound? What is the percentage composition of water in
the compound?
