Preliminary

1. Greetings Good morning class!

Good morning, ma’am!

2. Prayer As we proceed, let us first give reverence to

our Almighty through a prayer to be led by
__________.
(The assigned student will go in
front of the class and will lead
the prayer.)

3. Securing But before you take your seats, kindly pick

cleanliness up the pieces of trash under your chairs.
(The students pick up the
trashes and arrange their chairs
properly)
You may sit down.

4. Checking of Class Secretary, have you checked our

Attendance attendance today? Do we have an absent
in our class?
 (The class secretary will
mention who is/are absent.)
Thank you, class secretary.

Engage As we discuss a brand new topic today, we

are going to engage ourselves in an
activity. But before that, let us first read the
objectives of our lesson.

(The students will read the

objectives.)

At the end of a 60-minute

period, the students should be
able to:
1. Classify matter as
elements, compounds,
or mixtures and cite
examples for each
2. Differentiate elements
from compounds and
substances from mixture
3. Compare
heterogeneous and
homogenous mixtures
4. Make a flowchart of
classification of matter

In order for you to have an idea of what will

going to be our topic this morning, let us try
this activity.

I know that most of you are already familiar

with the game Wordscapes, am I right?
Yes, ma'am!

Awesome! Now, all you have to do is to

guess the correct word by arranging the
letters in correct order. You can escape and
proceed to the next word once you correctly
guessed the word and gave the meaning of
it.

Are you ready?

Yes Ma’am, We’re ready!

Okay let’s start.

 Wow! Almost all of you have guessed all the
jumbled letters correctly. Give yourselves a
marvelous clap!

Now, based from your activity, what do you

think is our topic this morning?
It is all about Elements,
Compounds, and Mixture,
Ma’am!
Precisely! Today, we will take our learning
journey towards Elements, Compounds,
and Mixtures.

Explore At this point of time, let us try this activity. I

will group you into 4 and you will be working
on with your learning areas.
Let me group you first, this will be group 1,
group 2 and so on…

In your designated learning areas, you will

find pictures representing different
substances. All you have to do is to
scrutinize the picture assigned to you and
read the given information about it.
Afterwards, answer the guide questions.

Guide questions:
1. What substance/mixture is depicted in
the picture in your learning area?
2. If you were to classify the matter, would
you categorize it as an element, compound,
or mixture? Briefly explain your reasoning.

I will give you 3 minutes to observe the

assigned pictures in your learning areas
and answer the guide questions. After that,
you will choose a representative to present
the work of your group. Are the directions
clear now, class? Yes, Ma’am!

(Groups are assigned of their learning

areas to work on)

Alright! Now all groups, you may now

proceed to your learning areas.

Learning Area 1

Table Sugar (Groups will start observing in

It is known as sucrose. This their areas and answering the
substance is usually used as a sweetening
agent in various food and beverage
guide questions.)
products. It is composed of carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen atoms bonded
together in a specific arrangement, with its
chemical formula C12H22O11.

Learning Area 2

Diamond

It is a naturally occurring
mineral renowned for its exceptional
hardness and brilliance. Composed solely
of carbon atoms arranged in a crystalline
lattice structure, diamonds are highly
sought after for use in jewelry and
industrial applications.

Learning Area 3

Salt

It is also known as sodium

chloride (NaCl). It is a substance
formed through the combination of two
types of ions in a characteristic
crystalline structure. Widely used as a
seasoning and preservative in food
preparation.
Learning Area 4

Sand

It is a substance
comprising various minerals,
predominantly silica (silicon dioxide)
found in natural environments such as
beaches and desserts. It diverse
applications range from construction
to landscaping.

(After 3 minutes) Time’s up. Let’s proceed

now to the presentation of each group. Let’s
start with group 1.
Group 2 get ready for your presentation. The substance depicted is a
compound because it is
composed or carbon, hydrogen,
and atoms bonded together in a
specific arrangement, as
indicated by its chemical
formula C12H22O11.

Very good group 1! Now, let’s hear it from

the presentation of Group 2.
The assigned substance is an
element because diamond is
composed solely of carbon
atoms arranged in a crystalline
lattice structure, indicating a
pure elemental composition.

Nicely done group 2! Let’s proceed with the

presentation of group 3
The substance represented is a
compound. This conclusion is
drawn from the fact that salt
(NaCl), is formed through the
combination of sodium and
chloride ions in a characteristic
crystalline structure, indicating
a chemical bonding.

Good job group 3! Let’s proceed with the

presentation of group 4.
The substance shown is a
mixture. This inference is made
from the information provided
that sand comprises various
minerals found in natural
environments such as beaches
and desserts, suggesting a
combination of chemical
bonding.

Nice presentation group 4!

(The teacher will validate their answers

based on the content of their report.)
 Please give yourselves 5 claps!

Great! So now to strengthen our core of

learning with our topic, I would like you to
listen attentively with our discussion.

Explain Why do you think everything around us,

including the air we breathe, the food we
eat, and the materials we interact with
daily, is called matter?
(The students will give their
ideas.)

One of the fundamental aspects shaping

our understanding of the world is the
concept of matter.

Now, let us define what matter is.

Matter:
- makes up everything
- anything that has mass
- takes up space (volume)
- is made up of atoms

(The teacher will elaborate the concepts)

Now that we have established the

fundamental nature of matter, let’s
proceed to pure substances.

Pure substances are the essential building

blocks that form the foundation of all
matter around us. They consist of
elements, atoms molecules, and
compounds, each playing a crucial role in
defining the properties and behavior of
substances.

Let’s start with atoms.

Atoms are:
- The building blocks of matter
- Consists of Protons (+), Electrons
(-), and Neutrons (N).
- Smallest unit of an element that has
all of the same properties of that
element.

(The teacher will elaborate the concepts)

As I’ve discussed, atoms are building

blocks of matter. We, human beings, are
also matter, do you think we are made up
of atoms, class?
Yes, Ma’am!

Indeed, we are made up of atoms as

matter refers to anything that has mass
and occupies space. In addition, our body
is composed of various elements like
oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and many others
which you will understand more as we go
along with our topic.

Next, Elements.

Elements are:
- Consists of only one kind of atom
- Can exist as either atoms or
molecules.
- pure substance that cannot be
separated into simpler substance by
physical or chemical means.

(The teacher will elaborate the concepts)

Elements has also three classifications.

Who can give me those? The three classifications of
elements are metals, non-
metals, and metalloids, Ma’am!

That is correct. And where can we find

them? They are listed on the periodic
table, Ma’am!

Class, one example of an element is Gold

(Au).

As you can see in the picture, Gold

consists only one type of atom, specifically
gold atoms. It can’t also be decomposed
into simpler substances; may it be physical
or chemical means.

Now, who can give me an example of an

element? (Students will give examples of
elements)

And why are they considered elements

again? They are considered elements
as they only consist one kind of
atom, Ma’am!

What else? They cannot be separated by

physical or chemical means,
Ma’am!

You’re right _______.

Now, let’s move on with compounds.

Compounds:
- Have their own physical and
chemical properties
- Pure substance that can only be
separated by chemical means, not
physically
- Smallest particle is a molecule
- Found in nature more often than
pure elements
- Molecules are held together by
bonds (ionic and covalent bonds)

(The teacher will elaborate the concepts)

Class, one example of compound is

Sodium Chloride (NaCl).

In Ionic bonding, positive ion is attracted to

negative resulting in the formation of a
compound sodium chloride known as
“table salt”.

Now, who can give me an example of a (Students will give answers

compound? based on their understanding)

Here are the other examples for

compounds:
- Carbon Dioxide CO2
- Water (H2O)
- Table Salt (NaCl)
- Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)

Did you understand compounds, class?

Yes, Ma’am!

Next, Mixture.

Mixture
- A combination of two or more pure
substances that are not chemically
combined.
- Substances held together by
physical forces, not chemical
- No chemical change takes place
- Each item retains its properties in
the mixture
- They can be separated physically
(The teacher will elaborate the concepts)

Class, there are two kinds of mixture. Are The two kinds of mixture are
you familiar with them? What are those? homogeneous and
heterogeneous, Ma’am!

Very good. Let’s first discuss the

homogenous mixture.

Homogenous:
- Has a uniform distribution
Its examples are olive oil and vinegar.

The next one is heterogeneous mixture.

Heterogeneous:
- Substances are not uniformly mixed
This includes pizza and ingredients in
salad dressing

Now, let us compare these two.

Comparison Homogeneous Heterogeneous

Composition Uniform Non-uniform

Particle Even Uneven

distribution

Sizes of Smaller Larger

particles

Phases Single Two or more

Physical No Yes
separation of
phases

(The teacher will elaborate the concepts)

Did you now understand the difference

between the two, class?
Yes, Ma’am!

Now, who can give me an example of a

mixture and identify it whether it is
homogeneous or heterogeneous? (The students will give
examples based on their
understanding on the topic)

Wow! It seems that all of you have now

understand the thee classifications of
matter. Again, what are they? Anyone? The three classifications of
matter are elements,
compounds, and mixtures,
Ma’am!

Among these three, which are considered

the pure substances? The pure substances are
elements and compounds,
Ma’am!
That is right, _________.
 At this point of time, let us differentiate
compounds from mixtures.

(The teacher will elaborate the concepts)

Did you now understand the difference

between mixtures and compounds, class?
Comparison Mixtures Compounds

Composition Variable Fixed

Components Can be separated Cannot be

by physical means separated by
physical means

Properties Properties of Unique

components properties
retained

Formation Physically mixed Chemically

bonded

Yes, Ma’am!
Now, let us summarize the topics through
a flow chart.

(The teacher will elaborate the concepts)

Did you now understand our topic, class?

Yes, Ma’am!
That’s the end of our discussion class, I
hope you understand our lesson.

Elaborate Before we proceed to evaluation, we will

be having another activity for me to
critically evaluate your understanding with
the topic.

This game is called “Keep or Give the

Box”.

Are you excited to play?

Yes, Ma’am!

(The teacher will facilitate the activity).

Did you enjoy the game, class?

Yes, Ma’am!
Based from your performance in our
activity. I have seen that you’ve learned a
lot from our lesson today. Please give
yourself 5 claps!
