Chemistry Matter (Pure substances and Mixtures)

TEACHING GOALS
Students are being instructed to use the learning resources effectively.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
TSWBAT

• To introduce students to the concepts of pure substances and mixtures and help them
differentiate between the two.

INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

Introduction (5 minutes):
• Begin by asking students if they've ever wondered what makes up the things around
them, like water, air, and food.

Definition of Pure Substances and Mixtures (20 minutes):

• Explain that matter can be classified into two main categories: pure substances and
mixtures.
• Define pure substances as materials that are made up of only one type of particle
(either atoms or molecules) and cannot be separated into simpler substances by
physical means.
• Define mixtures as combinations of two or more substances that are physically mixed
but can be separated into their individual components.

Examples (10 minutes):

• Provide examples of pure substances (e.g., gold, oxygen, water) and mixtures (e.g.,
salad, air, saltwater).
• Encourage students to identify which category each example falls into and explain their
reasoning.

Classifying Substances Activity (10 minutes):

• Present a few more examples of substances and ask students to classify them as pure
substances or mixtures.
• Discuss their classifications as a class.

Conclusion (10 minutes):

• Summarize the key points covered in the lesson, emphasizing the difference between
pure substances and mixtures.
• Ask students to reflect on why understanding these concepts is important.

Closure (5 minutes):
• Ask if there are any questions or concepts that students found challenging.
• Remind students of the relevance of these concepts in their everyday lives.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

• On daily basis, evaluate students’ understanding through class participation, discussion,

and completion of class activities or homework.
