IV. PROCEDURE
Recall of the activity performed about the effect of particle size in solubility of
A. ELICIT matter.
Let the students prepare for the presentation of their output.
B. ENGAGE
Let each group present the output of the activity.
C. EXPLORE
Activity: Size Matters!

1. What did you observe as salt dissolve in water?

D. EXPLAIN 2. How long does it take for the fine salt and coarse salt to dissolve in a cup
of water?
3. Which dissolved faster in a cup of water, fine salt or coarse salt?
4. Why does fine salt dissolved faster than coarse salt?
5. Does the size of the salt particle affect its solubility in water?
What factor affects the solubility of solid solute?

E. ELABORATE How does it affect solubility?

How do you relate the concept you have learned today ( the smaller the
particle size, the faster it will dissolve) to digestion of food in our body?
Multiple choice: Choose the letter of the best answer from choices lettered A,
F. EVALUATE B, C, and D.

1. Imagine that you performed an experiment in which you dissolve different

samples of sugar (sugar cubes, extra fine sugar and regular table sugar) into
water samples to compare how long they took to dissolve. Which factor
would be the least important to the design of this experiment?
a. the same amount of sugar must be used in each sample.
 b. all the samples must be tested at the same time of the day.
c. the water samples must be all at the same temperature.
d. the sugar samples must all contain only sugar and water.

2. Which factor would not affect the rate solubility of sugar in water?
a. Heat the water and sugar
b. Stir the water and sugar
c. Grind the sugar to make it finer.
d. Add the sugar to the water.

3. Which statement about the process of dissolving is true?

a. The process of dissolving releases energy in the form of heat.
b. Applying heat often speeds up the process of dissolving because it
breaks down the repellent barrier of the solute particles.
c. Once a solute, such as a salt crystal, is dissolved in a solvent, it can
never return to its original crystal state?
d. the solute spreads out in all direction in a solvent because the
solvent and solute particles affect the other.

4. If you pound the granules of sugar before adding it in your cup of coffee,
does it affect the solubility?
a. No, it has really no effect on solubility because we did not
heat it at all.
b. Yes, it has increased the surface area so it speeds up the
dissolving process.
c. Yes, it decreases the solubility.
d. No, it has increased the surface area and so it increases the maximum
solubility.

5. Which of the following will greatly affect the solubility of solid at room
temperature?
a. thickness b. pressure c. particle size d. texture

G. EXTEND Answer the following questions in your notebook.

1. Why does increasing the temperature of a liquid solvent make a solid
solute dissolve faster?
2. Why does shaking affects the rate at which a solute dissolves?
