Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Science 6 Self-Learning Module 2 on Mixing Solid and Liquid

Materials!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

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. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

Welcome to the Science 6 Self-Learning Module 2 on Mixing Solid and Liquid

Materials!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - This points to the set of knowledge and skills

that you will learn after completing the module.

glass for herself. What did Catriona and John drink?
A. They both had solutions.
B. They both had suspension.
C. John had a solution while Catriona had a suspension.
D. John had a suspension while Catriona had a solution.

RECAP

In our previous lesson, you have learned mixing of solid and solid
materials. I know that you could still remember on how to mix solid and solid
materials.

What happens when solids are mixed with other solids? Will their
substance, color, shape, size, and texture change?

Now, let us try to do a simple activity to help you freshen up and recall
your past lesson. Ready? Get your notebook or your paper and pen and be
ready to write your answer.
 Decode each set of numbers below to come up with a word. Write the
word on a separate paper.

a. 13 9 24 20 21 18 5

b. 19 15 12 9 14

c. 8 5 20 5 18 15 7 5 14 5 15 21 19

d. 3 15 1 18 19 5

e. 2 18 1 20 19 19

1=A 4=D 7=G 10 = J 13 = M 16 = P 19 = S 22 = V 25 = Y

2=B 5=E 8=H 11 = K 14 = N 17 = Q 20 = T 23 = W 26 = Z
3=C 6=F 9=I 12 = L 15 = O 18 = R 21 = U 24 = X

It is good to know that you really learned a lot from your previous
lesson. I know you are excited to learn new topic.

Have you tried mixing water and sugar? What happened to the sugar?
What do you call this process? Do all solids dissolve in water?

LESSON

When sugar is mixed with water, the sugar seems to disappear

into the water. This is a process called dissolution. But the sugar does not
really disappear. The sugar molecules actually settle into the water molecules
that it can no longer be seen. The same happens with salt. You know that
sugar and salt are still there because you can taste them, even though you
cannot see them. Particles dissolve completely into the water. This clear
mixture is called solution.
 Figure 1: Dissolving Sugar in Water

http://myscienceschool.org/index.php?/archives/429-Why-do-salt-and-sugar-readily-dissolve-in-water-and-not-in-oil.html

Other solids like detergent soap, powdered juice, powdered milk,

chocolate powder, and others also dissolve in water. We know that they are
mixed in the water because of the change in color of the mixture. Solids that
dissolve in water are called soluble materials.

 Solids that do not dissolve in water are called insoluble materials. For
example, sand is insoluble in water. The particles of sand do not mix with
the water. Instead, the sand settles at the bottom of the water forming a
sediment. Some insoluble solids such as flour seem to make the water appear
cloudy. When the insoluble solid is spread throughout the liquid, making it
cloudy, it is called a suspension.

Powdered milk did not mix well with alcohol and cooking oil. Milk was
separated in both liquids. It did not dissolve.

We can infer therefore, that some solids like powdered milk dissolve in
some liquids and do not dissolve in other liquids. The solubility of a substance
depends on the solvent used.

 VALUING

One of the main rivers of

the Philippines, Pasig River was
once praised for its beauty. It
encompasses in its system many
smaller rivers and tributaries, six
sub basins and Manila Bay. The
population along Pasig River has
continued to multiply, but the
developing country’s ability to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Manila-quiapo-river-2010- cope with waste disposal has not
kept up. It is estimated that 65 percent of the pollution in Pasig River comes
01.jpg

from household waste.

As citizens of Pasig City, what are the ways to clean up and eventually
save our Pasig River? Write at least five sentences in the space provided.
