What This Module is About
One of the joys of learning science is seeing how scientific
principles operate in all aspects. As you study, keep in mind
that the facts and concepts you are about to learn are not ends
in themselves, but they are tools to help you understand better
the world where you live.

Notes to the Teacher

Dear Teacher,

This is a self-placed module with various

activities to be done at home by the learners.
Clear and careful instructions must be given
to the learners to ensure safety and avoid
misconceptions in performing the activities.

i
 Target

Now children, join me as we continue to discover more

knowledge regarding the changes of some materials when
exposed to other materials. In this module, you will learn about
the different mixtures and their characteristics in terms of
mixing solid with another solid or mixing a solid with a liquid.

Just study hard…have fun and enjoy the different

activities!

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

1. describe what happens to solid materials when

mixed with other solid materials.

2. describe what happens to solid materials when

mixed with liquid materials.

3. describe what happens to liquid materials when

mixed with other liquid materials.

Lesson Mixing Solids
1 (Heterogeneous and
Homogeneous)
LET’S LEARN

When two or more materials are combined, a mixture is

formed.
There are two kinds of mixtures: homogeneous mixture and
heterogeneous mixture.
Some solid materials will dissolve in liquids, while others
do not.
A liquid mixed with another liquid may completely mix.
Meanwhile, there are liquids which do not mix with other
liquids, but instead, form two layers.

Jumpstart

 When some solid materials are mixed with other

solids and forms a uniform appearance or that every
material cannot be identified/distinguished from each
other, this is called a homogeneous mixture.

 When some solid materials are mixed with other

solids and each of the combined materials can be
easily identified from one another, this is called a
heterogeneous mixture.

7
  The properties of each solid material in the mixture do
not
change. Even after mixing, the size, shape, and color of
each solid material remains the same.
 We must keep safety precautions in labeling and sorting
solid household materials at home

Questions:

1. What do we call this kind of mixtures when two solid

materials mixed together cannot be distinguished?

2. What do we call this kind of mixtures when two solid

materials can be distinguished or identified from each
other when mixed?

3. Which type of solid mixtures do not change their size,

shape, and color when mixed?

4. Why can’t we distinguish each material in some solid

mixtures?

2 Mixing Solid with Liquid

LET’S LEARN

Many things around you are mixtures. Solids do not only

mix with solids, they also mix with liquid materials. Some
solids mix well with liquids, especially in water while other
solids do not mix well with liquids.

In this lesson you will learn about what will happen to

solid materials when mixed with liquid materials.

Liquid is another phase of matter. Liquids have no definite

size or shape. You cannot say that a liquid is small or big, round or
square. They just follow the size and shape of their containers.
Liquids flow. We cannot hold it with our bare hands. They should
be placed inside a container so that they will be carried.

Questions:
1. Explain why liquids are placed inside a bottle or a container.
(Answers may vary too)
2. Why can we not hold liquids with our bare hands?

Lesson
3 Mixing Solids with Liquids

LET’S LEARN
There are many ways to discover the things around us.
In this lesson, you will discover about what will happen to solid
materials when mixed with liquid materials.

Solid materials can be mixed/ combined with liquid

materials. Some solid materials completely dissolve in liquid
materials, while others do not. Some solid materials settle at
the bottom of the container, while others stayed within the
liquid.
