These are the things that we do in science. We investigate, make guesses, observe our
surroundings, conduct experiments, study things, inquire about different topics, do some
research, solve problems, analyze data and answer questions. All these result in the discovery
of new things and phenomena are the basic science processes used in the study in the
activities that will follow.
Activity
(20 mins.) Students will read the story
Anthony’s Experiment
Ms. Gatdula was invited by a friend to visit her in Baguio City. Before leaving her home in
Manila, she instructed her helper to feed the fish in the aquarium during her absence.
It was May. The summer heat was almost unbearable. The helper was worried about the
fish entrusted to her. One very warm afternoon, she got a tray of ice cubes and put all of them
into the aquarium. In just a short while, all the fish in the aquarium died.
Anthony, a nephew of Ms. Gatdula, learned about the tragic incident. But he did not
reprimand the helper right away. He wanted to be sure of the cause of death of the fish. Here
is what he did:
 He bought six fish of the same kind as those that had died. He kept them in the
aquarium for two days.
 He got two large wide-mouthed glass jars of the same size. He labeled one “Jar no. 1”
and the other “Jar no. 2”. He put the same amount of water in the jars, and three
fishes in each jar, together with some aquarium plants and pebbles.
 When the fishes have stayed in the jar for two days, he put ice cubes in Jar no. 1.
 He observed that the fishes in Jar no. 1 died and those in Jar no. 2 did not.
Analysis
(10 mins.) 1. Who are the main characters in the story?
2. What tragic incident occurred in the story?
3. What did Anthony suspect that might have caused this tragic incident?
4. What did Anthony do in order to prove his suspicion?
5. What did Anthony find out? Is his suspicion correct?
Abstraction A scientific investigation is a series of steps designed to solve problems and answer questions.
(5 mins.) The story is an example of a scientific investigation. A scientific investigation has four major
components, namely: Research Problem, Hypothesis, a Method for testing the hypothesis, and
a Conclusion based on evidence.
In the story, a research problem presented itself when Ms. Gatdula’s aquarium fish died.
Anthony then made observations and gathered information about the incident, and learned
that the helper has put some ice into the aquarium. From this information, Anthony
hypothesized that it must have been due to the sudden change in temperature of the water
because of the ice cubes. Anthony then came up with a method to test his hypothesis. He
conducted an experiment.
Then, with the evidences from his experiment, he was able to draw a conclusion that the
death of the fish was in fact due to the sudden change in temperature of the water following
the addition of the ice cubes. His hypothesis was correct.
The four components of an investigation:

a. Research Problem
b. Hypothesis - a possible solution to a problem of a possible explanation of a phenomenon.
- an educated guess.
c. Method for testing hypothesis / Experiment
- an activity especially designed to test if a hypothesis is right or wrong.
d. Conclusion based on evidence
- a final decision or judgement formed after a period of careful thought or
research.
Application Read carefully the given situation below, then answer the questions that follow:
(10 mins.) Yunna’s Garden
Yunna loves plants. She collects a variety of plants especially ones that bear flowers. If
her plants are healthy and green, she’s happy.
One day, she visited her grandmother’s house and saw a whole plot of land filled with
flower-bearing plants. She was ecstatic! She saw much more colorful and larger flowers than
the ones in her garden. The leaves also appear crisper and much greener. She saw how dark
the soil is and noticed bits of what looks like dried cow manure in it. It is completely different
from her reddish-brown soil at home. Then, a realization sunk in. Her plants at home are not as
healthy as she originally thought!
Answer the following questions:
1. What is the research problem?
2. What is your hypothesis?
3. How would you prove your hypothesis? Present your experiment plan through
diagrams/illustrations with label.
(This activity may also be done by group so that the students can present their answers to the
class in a manila paper. Compare different answers and facilitate the class to come up with the
best experiment plan for the investigation.)

Cako the Monkey
Cako is a wise little monkey who lives with Anne, a young scientist. Anne spends most
of her time in her lab doing experiments, while Cako swings around making observations of his
own.
At present, Anne is doing experiments on nuts. She left one large nut in a graduated
cylinder and ran some quick errands to the shop. Cako, who just woke up from his afternoon
nap, felt hungry and saw the nut. He wants to take it, and being a wise monkey, he decided he
wants to do it without leaving his prints on the cylinder. He thought, “I need to make the nut
float. What could possibly make the nut float? Aha!” He came up with an idea, but wasn’t sure.
“There’s only one way to find out,” he said to himself.
He set-up a small ladder beside the cylinder and carefully climbed, bringing with him a
small bucket filled with water. Slowly, he poured water into the cylinder, and sure enough, the
nut floated! He poured enough water into the cylinder until the nut reached the brim. “Ah, my
sweet reward,” Cako thought.

Procedures
Introductory Recall previous module:
Activity 1. What was the previous module about?
(5 mins.) 2. What is a scientific investigation?
3. What are the components of a scientific investigation?
4. What is a hypothesis?
5. What is an experiment?
6. What is a conclusion?
We already know that experimentation is a crucial part of a scientific investigation. But exactly
what takes place in an experiment, and what are the different parts (or elements) of an
experiment?
Activity Recall the story about Anthony’s Experiment, and answer the different set of questions that
(20 mins.) follow:
(This activity may be done as oral participation to save time.)
Anthony’s Experiment
Ms. Gatdula was invited by a friend to visit her in Baguio City. Before leaving her home in
Manila, she instructed her helper to feed the fish in the aquarium during her absence.
It was May. The summer heat was almost unbearable. The helper was worried about the
fish entrusted to her. One very warm afternoon, she got a tray of ice cubes and put all of them
into the aquarium. In just a short while, all the fish in the aquarium died.
Anthony, a nephew of Ms. Gatdula, learned about the tragic incident. But he did not
reprimand the helper right away. He wanted to be sure of the cause of death of the fish. Here
is what he did:
 He bought six fish of the same kind as those that had died. He kept them in the
aquarium for two days.
 He got two large wide-mouthed glass jars of the same size. He labeled one “Jar no. 1”
and the other “Jar no. 2”. He put the same amount of water in the jars, and three fish
in each jar, together with some aquarium plants and pebbles.
 When the fish have stayed in the jar for two days, he put ice cubes in Jar no. 1.
 He observed that the fish in Jar no. 1 died and those in Jar no. 2 did not.
Now, answer the following questions:
1. For his experiment, why did Anthony buy the same kind of fish as those that had died?
Could he
not have used just any kind of aquarium fish?
2. Why did Anthony keep the fish he had bought in the aquarium for two days before
starting his
investigation?
3. Why did he use two jars of the same size, put the same amount of water in the jars and
place the
same number and kind of fish in each jar? Was it necessary that the conditions in the two
jars be
the same at the beginning of the experiment?
Why or why not?
4. Why did Anthony put ice cubes in only one jar? Why not in both jars?
Illustrate the 2 set-ups used in the experiment:
Jar no. 1 Jar no. 2

(with ice cubes)
1. For his experiment, why did Anthony buy the same kind of fish as those that had died?
Could he
not have used just any kind of aquarium fish?
He wanted to test only the effect of the sudden change in the temperature of the water.
All other
conditions, including the kind of fish must be the same.
2. Why did Anthony keep the fish he had bought in the aquarium for two days before starting
his investigation?
He wants to exclude the possibility that a sudden change in the over-all environment of
the fish
could be the cause of the death of the fish. So he allowed the fish to adapt to their new
environment before conducting his experiment.
3. Why did he use two jars of the same size, put the same amount of water in the jars and
place the same number and kind of fish in each jar? Was it necessary that the conditions in the
two jars be the same at the beginning of the experiment? Why or why not?
It is important for both jars to have exactly the same conditions at the beginning of the
experiment, so that once he puts the ice cubes in one jar, and the fish in that jar dies, he
will be
certain that the death is caused by the ice cubes. There won’t be any other factors to
blame.
4. Why did Anthony put ice cubes in only one jar? Why not in both jars?
Because the ice cubes is the factor that he wanted to test.
He suspected that the addition of ice cubes caused the death of the fish so test if it truly
is, he put
ice cubes only in one jar and kept the other jar the same to have something to compare
the
outcomes to.
Analysis What is the goal of Anthony’s Experiment?
(20 mins.) How many set-ups were prepared in Anthony’s Experiment?
Which pot is the experimental set-up?
Which pot is the control set-up?
Why is it important to have a control set-up?
What are the variables present in Anthony’s Experiment?
What is/are the independent variable/s?
What is/are the dependent variable/s?
What conclusion can be drawn from Anthony’s Experiment?
Abstraction The conditions in the jars are called VARIABLES. Variables are elements or a particular
(5 mins.) aspect of an experiment that may be changed. There are two types of VARIABLE, namely:
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE and the DEPENDENT VARIABLE. The independent variable is the
variable that is changed or controlled in the experiment to test its effect on the dependent
variable. The dependent variable is the variable being tested or measured.
The variables in Anthony’s experiment include the temperature of the water, the type
of fish, the pebbles, aquarium plants, the size of the jar, etc. Anthony wanted to test the effect
of the sudden change in temperature in the fish. This means that in this particular experiment,
the independent variable is the temperature of the water (which is what we changed) and the
dependent variable is the fish (which died in response to the change in the temperature of the
water).
The two jars that Anthony prepared are called the SET-UPS. There are two types of
set-ups, namely: CONTROL SET-UP and EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP. The experimental set-up is the
set-up where one variable has been changed, whereas the control set-up is identical to the
experimental set-up except that no variable has been changed. The purpose of the control set-
up is for comparison and reference.
Anthony’s Jar no. 1 is the experimental set-up because it is where he made changes to
one variable. He put ice cubes in it to change the temperature of the water. Jar no. 2 is the
control set-up because no changes has been done to it. Its purpose is for Anthony to compare
and come up with the conclusion that it is the sudden change in temperature of the water that
caused the fish to die.
The elements of an experiment are the VARIABLES and SET-UPS.
Variable – a particular aspect of an experiment that may be changed.
Two types of variable:

 Independent Variable – the variable that is changed or controlled in the experiment.
 Dependent Variable – the variable that is being tested or measured. It changes in
response to the independent
variable.
Set-Up – an assembly of tools or materials during an experiment, that mimics the conditions
present upon identifying a research
problem.
Two types of setup:
 Experimental Setup – the setup where one variable has been changed.
 Control Setup – the setup identical to the experimental setup except that no variable
has been changed.
Application Read carefully the given situation below, then answer the questions that follow:
(10 mins.) Yunna’s Garden
Yunna loves plants. She collects a variety of plants especially ones that bear flowers. If
her plants are healthy and green, she’s happy.
One day, she visited her grandmother’s house and saw a whole plot of land filled with
flower-bearing plants. She was ecstatic! She saw much more colorful and larger flowers than
the ones in her garden. The leaves also appear crisper and much greener. She saw how dark
the soil is and noticed bits of what looks like dried cow manure in it. It is completely different
from her reddish-brown soil at home. Then, a realization sunk in. Her plants at home are not
as healthy as she originally thought! She’s missing one very important thing!
As soon as she got home, she set to find some dried cow manure, and did the following:
 She prepared two clay pots of the same size and shape, and labeled it Pot A and Pot B.
 She filled both pots with the same reddish-brown soil, which she took from the same
part of her garden. Then, she added a handful of ground, dried cow manure to Pot B.
 She placed both pots under the shade of a jackfruit tree and planted 2 sunflower seeds
in each pot.
 She watered both pots with the same amount of water every other day, and both pots
received the same amount of sunlight, and for the same lengths of time.
 One month later, the sunflower in Pot A had no flower and had thinner stems
compared to the stems of the sunflower in Pot B. The sunflower in Pot B also boasted
a budding flower that is about to bloom.
Now, answer the following questions:

1. What is the research problem?
2. What is the hypothesis?
3. How many setups did Yunna prepare for her experiment?
4. Which pot is the experimental setup?
5. Which pot is the control setup?

Analysis
(5 mins.) Which of the following set-up gives accurate result?
Why?
Abstraction Discussion of above activity:

(5 mins.) Scenario B is more likely to give Yuri accurate results than Scenario A. It is important for an
experiment to be a fair test. You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change one
factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.
For example, let's imagine that we want to measure which is the fastest toy car to
coast down a sloping ramp. If we gently release the first car, but give the second car a push
start, did we do a fair test of which car was fastest? No! We gave the second car an unfair
advantage by pushing it to start. That's not a fair test! The only thing that should change
between the two tests is the car; we should start them down the ramp in exactly the same
way.
Conducting a fair test is one of the most important ingredients of doing good,
scientifically valuable experiments. To ensure that your experiment is a fair test, you must
change only one variable at a time while keeping all other variables/ conditions the same.
Application
(10 mins.) Write FT on the blank before the number if the given scenario exhibits Fair Test. Otherwise,
write NFT and make corrections to make the experiment show fair testing. You may rewrite
the selection all together in a separate sheet of paper, if you think it entails a lot of
corrections to make it correct.
_____ 1. Maura wants to test which material is most waterproof. She lays a sheet of
tissue, a felt
paper, and an oil-control film, all of the same size, on the brim of three glasses,
also of the
same size. She then pours the same type of liquid to all three setups, in the
same amount,
from the same distance above the materials, and the same speed.

_____ 3. Maxie heard that the gender of a crocodile depends upon the temperature of
the sand in
which it was buried in while still inside its egg. According to this documentary
she saw,
eggs nested in temperatures below 31.7°C produce female crocodiles. In
temperatures
above 31.7°C up to 34.5°C, the nests would produce male crocodiles. Higher
than 34.5°C,
and it would produce female crocodiles. She takes three crocodile eggs and
incubates one
at 30°C, another at 33°C, and the last one at 35°C.
_____ 4. Nathaniel learned in school that iron rusts as a result of oxygen in the air,
reacting with
water. He wants to see proof for himself, so he bought two iron rods of the

Activity We talked about the components of a scientific investigation:
(5mins) What are the four components of a scientific investigation?
What is a hypothesis?
What is an experiment?
What is a conclusion?
We also talked about the importance of variables and setups in an experiment:
What is a variable?
What are the two different types of variables?
What are the two types of setups?
We talked about the importance of fair test and you already know how to distinguish an
experiment that shows fair test, from an experiment that does not.
Today, you will apply all that you learned about scientific investigation in designing your own
investigation.

I. CONDUCT A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION
(Time duration: 1 hour; Nature of activity: By pair or triad)
Make observations around you and identify a research problem found in your school
campus.
Formulate a hypothesis, then design an experiment to prove your hypothesis.
Identify the variables and describe your setups.
Predict an outcome.
Refer to the scoring guide below:
Scientific Investigation Experiment
Rubric
Problem – the problem is the question that you are trying to answer.
 2 Points if the problem is written in the form of a question and is a complete
sentence with a question mark at the end.
 1 Point if the problem is not written in the form of a question or is an incomplete
sentence or is missing the question mark.
Hypothesis – a hypothesis is your educated guess at the answer to the problem.
 2 Points if the hypothesis is written as a guess or explanation to the answer of
the problem and in a complete sentence. (I think …, I hypothesize …, If.. then…)
 1 Point if the hypothesis is not written in a complete sentence or is not a guess
to the problem.
Identifying the Variables and Controls – a variable is the one thing in the experiment that is
different in each test. The variable is what you are testing. The controls are the parts of the
experiment that are kept the same in each test.
 2 Points if the variable and controls are clearly identified.
 1 Point if only the variable or the controls are clearly identified.
 0 Points if only neither the variable or the controls are clearly identified.
Procedure – the procedure is a step-by-step explanation of how to perform the experiment. To
receive all 4 points the procedure must include all of the following:
a. Procedure steps must be numbered
b. Procedure steps must be in the correct order
c. Procedure steps must include instructions on what to measure and where to record the
data.
d. Procedure steps must be written in complete sentences.

PRESENTATION
II. FINALIZATION OF OUTPUT

(Time duration: 1 hour; Nature of activity: By pair or triad)
Layout your scientific investigation in a bond paper, and prepare for presentation of your
output to
the teacher.
What was your investigation all about? What problem you have encountered in your
Analysis investigation? Were you able to answer your problem? How did you do it? What variables
involved in your study? What was your finding/result of your study?
In doing an investigation we should look at first the problem to be solved, gather data about
Abstraction the problem, formulating the hypothesis, testing the hypothesis by designing an experiment,
interpreting and analyzing the data/observations gathered, drawing the conclusion or the
result of the study and communicating the results.
Application Why is it important to follow the steps of the scientific investigation /method in solving
problems?
Assessment Based on their performed study/ investigated problem, graded performance will be given
based on the rubric stated above.

Assessment Number Heads Game

(45 mins) (Students’ spelling and writing speed is drilled in this activity. Plus, it practices cooperation
during brainstorming, and independence once they’re alone to answer on the board. The whole
activity itself promotes teamwork.)
 Divide the class into 4 (or more) groups. Preferably 10 members per group.
 Have the groups assign a number to each member.
 The teacher will throw a question, and give a minute for the group to brainstorm
(every member shall make sure they know the answer because any number can be
called).
 The teacher will call a number. The member assigned the number will run to the
board, and write their group’s answer. The first to complete their answer on the board
gets the point/s.

Direction: Study the short story posted on the board. The questions that will follow will be
based on the story.
(a) Rica is a high school student in a privilege school. She is smart and she is one of the top
students in her batch. Because of that, she is a scholar.
(b) She has won lots of science and math competitions for the school. But despite all that,
she is
timid, shy and aloof. I’ve always wondered why that is.
(c) I tried to observe and compared her to the rest of the students in school. She has a
pretty face,
and a fairly tanned skin.
She stands out in a crowd because she’s tall and maintains a nice posture. Her hair
though,
clearly hasn’t been to salon treatments like the rest of the privileged girls her age. I also
just
recently noticed how her clothes are not as up-to-date
as others’, not that it matters of course.
(d) Being a teenager, her shyness could come from low self-esteem.
(e) I went on with my routine as her teacher, just as she went on with her routine as a
student. I
continued observing her.
(f) After some time, I realized that I am in fact correct in thinking that her shy and quiet
nature
has stemmed from her low self-esteem.

My Peace-Lily Story
I love plants, especially ones that have large, dark, green leaves, and a flower that stands out from those leaves.
For me, nothing just beats a good foliage. That’s why when I came across a Peace Lily, I never had second
thoughts. I immediately got one for myself.
I know plants love sunlight, a healthy soil, and a good watering routine. I placed my Peace Lily in my garden,
along with the rest of my plants. It’s situated perfectly in the shade of a mango tree where it gets ample amount
of sunlight in the mornings and in the afternoons. When it rains, it gets soaked. Perfect! My Peace Lily is so
happy, its color is radiant and it’s always in bloom.
Eight months later, it started to develop brown patches at the tip of its leaves. I didn’t give much thought about
it, but after some time, it got worse and got me worried. So I tried the internet for answers. I learned that Peace
Lilies are actually indoor plants. They need sunlight, but not as much as other plants do. They do not need much
water, and in fact, only needs watering when its soil has dried up. When its leaves has wilted, it only needs a
good spray of water, and it’s back to its pretty self in a couple of hours. I looked outside the window, and
noticed how muddy it is outside. It’s the rainy season, and it rains a couple of hours a day! That’s it!
I went to the store where I bought my Peace Lily and bought two new ones. When I got home, I labeled one
“POT A”, and the other “POT B”. I placed Pot A outside, just beside my first Peace Lily, and kept Pot B inside. I
shall see in the next few weeks if my speculations are correct.
True enough, after only a month, Pot A looked as unhealthy and as wilted as my first Peace Lily. Pot B stayed
prim and pretty inside.

Procedures
Introductory Have one or more students recall yesterday’s activity:

Activity What did we talk about yesterday?
(10 mins.)
So yesterday, we had a deeper understanding of solutions – its properties and its components.
 We learned that solutions are homogeneous mixtures, transparent and cannot be
separated by filtration.
 We learned that solutions are always composed of one or more solutes in a solvent.
Having mentioned solutes, it is also important to know that the rate of solubility of solutes
depend on several factors. Some solutes will dissolve faster than some. Some will not dissolve
a hundred percent. Some may not even dissolve at all. These factors are exactly what we will
be learning about today.
Example:
Demonstrate the effects of agitation in mixing a solid solute in water.
In which glass did the powdered coffee dissolve faster? In glass A where agitation was applied,
or in glass B where the powdered coffee was left on standby?
Activity In groups of three, perform Activities 4, 5 and 6 of Module 1 in Science 7 Learner’s Material,
(50 mins.) pp. 12-15.
(Allow the students plenty of time for this activity because it is an opportunity for them to
practice their learning in conducting Scientific Investigations.)
Analysis
(30 mins.) Why smaller pieces of salt dissolves faster than larger ones?
Does a solute dissolve faster in water when you increase the temperature? Explain.
Does the type or nature of the solute will also affect how fast it dissolves in water?
What are the factors that determine the rate of solubility of solid solutes in a solution?
Abstraction There are four factors that determine the rate of solubility of solid solutes in a solution.
(5 mins.) 1. AGITATION – solid solutes dissolve faster when agitation is applied. Agitation includes
stirring, shaking of the container, etc.
2. PARTICLE SIZE – finer solutes dissolve faster.
3. TEMPERATURE OF SOLVENT – solid solutes dissolve faster in warmer solvents.
4. NATURE OF SOLUTE – some solutes naturally dissolve faster than others.
Application
(15 ins.) 1.State the relationship between the size particles of the solute and the rate of solubility
2. Explain the factors that affect the solubility of the solutions.

As far as solutions go, we have already discussed the properties and components of a solution,
as well as the factors affecting solubility of solid solutes.
Having discussed solubility, you must have already guessed that there can be different types of
solution produced, depending on whether the solvent has already dissolved enough solute or
not.

Procedures

(5 mins) We have previously discussed different types of solutions. These types are dictated by the
capacity of the solvent to dissolve more solute.
When you are asked what type a given solution is, you answer either unsaturated, saturated or
supersaturated. But when asked about how much solute is dissolved in a solvent, you will likely
express your answer better in terms of the solution’s concentration. How?
Activity
Take a look at these three different types of rubbing alcohol:
(2 mins)
Analysis
(3 mins) Besides the difference in how their labels look and the difference in the shape of the bottles,
what else is different between the three?
How can we classify a solution as diluted or concentrated?
How to express concentration of solutions in terms of Percent by Mass and Percent by

Volume?
Abstraction
(15 mins) They differ in concentration. One is 50%. One is 70%. And the last one is 91% by volume. 70%
isopropyl alcohol means that for every 100 ml of alcohol, 70 ml is pure isopropyl alcohol, and
30 ml is water. 50% isopropyl alcohol means that for every 100 ml of alcohol, 50 ml is pure
isopropyl alcohol, and 50 ml is water. 91% isopropyl alcohol means that for every 100 ml of
alcohol, 91 ml is pure isopropyl alcohol, and 9 ml is water. This method of expressing the
concentration of a solution is by way of Percent by Volume (for liquids) or Percent by Mass
(for solids). This allows us to know the exact ratio of solute to solvent in specifying the
concentration of a solution.
For instance:
How many mL of ethyl alcohol are in a 50ml-bottle of a 70% ethyl-alcohol solution?
70ml ethyl alcohol
50ml rubbing alcohol X ------------------------------------- = 35ml ethyl alcohol
100ml alcohol solution
Therefore, there is 35ml of pure ethyl alcohol in 50ml of 70% ethyl-alcohol solution.
This method also works the same for solid solutes. We simply change the unit ml (volume) to g
(mass).
Let’s say, for instance, that you fell and bruised yourself pretty bad. You want to treat your
bruises and before you put some iodine solution in it, you have to disinfect it. You have a 70%
rubbing alcohol and thought that it might sting. Since you have low tolerance for pain, you
want it to be less concentrated. What do you do?
Exactly. Dilute it. When you dilute a solution, you add more solvent to it and it becomes less
concentrated. In the case of the rubbing alcohol, you simply add a bit more water to it.
When there is a large amount of dissolved solute for a certain volume of solvent, the
solution is concentrated. For instance, a supersaturated solution is a concentrated solution.
A dilute solution has a small amount of dissolved solute in comparison to the
amount of solvent. For instance, we can say that an unsaturated solution is a dilute solution.
The concentration of a solution may be expressed in terms of Percent by Volume,
and Percent by Mass.
All portions of a solution have the same concentration (solutions are uniform all
throughout). The composition of one part is also the same as the composition of the other
parts. But you can change the concentration of solutions. This means you can prepare different
solutions of sugar in water of different concentrations (for example 10%, 20% or 30%). In the
same way, you can prepare different solutions of salt in water.
Application This may be done by volunteers on the board, so that checking will be demonstrated to the rest

Activity What was our topic that we took up yesterday?
(5mins)
Yesterday, we learned to solve for the concentration of a given solution. We learned to
compare two solutions and determine which is more concentrated or diluted.
However, what if the problem calls for solving for the mass or volume of the solute or solvent?
We will learn how to derive the existing formula that we currently know in order to get the
values asked for.

Analysis
(10mins) How the above sample problems are solved?
Abstraction
(10mins) The formula will be derived according to which value is asked:
 Sample problem no. 1 asks for the mass of the solute in grams.
 Sample problem no. 2 asks for the mass of a component in the solution.
 Sample problem no. 3 asks for the volume of the solvent in milliliters.
Sample problem no.4 asks for the concentration of the solution, but remember that a solution
consists of both solute and solvent. So since the values given are mass of solute and mass of
solvent (not the usual mass or volume of the solution itself), careful with the mass of the
solution you will use in the formula.
In solving for different values involved in the concentration of solutions, the first step is to
analyze the problem and determine what is asked. Once that has been determined, the basic
formula will be derived according to which particular value is asked. Values include the
concentration of the solution, the mass/volume of the solvent, the mass/volume of the solute,
the over-all volume/mass of the solution, and sometimes there’s more depending on the given
problem.
Our basic formula gives us the concentration of the solution, so for problems that
require us to get values other than the concentration, we need to derive that basic formula.

Procedures
Introductory Show the class samples of Seawater and Distilled water without letting them know what it is.
Activity Have them guess what they are (which is almost not possible without tasting it) and have them
(5 mins) try to tell the difference between the two in terms only of appearance. If they have guessed
correctly what they are, have them tell the difference in terms of composition.
These are samples of Seawater and Distilled water. There’s no way we could have guessed that
correctly without actually tasting it. Our previous lesson discussed solutions and seawater is an
example of a solution – a mixture - while distilled water is a substance.
What is a substance?
What is the difference between the two?
How can we tell which is which?
There are several ways of knowing how, and we will learn one of those ways today.
Activity In groups of 3, perform Module 2, Activity 1, p.18 of Science 7 Learner’s Material.

Analysis How are mixtures different from substances?
(10 mins) How are they similar?
Abstraction Matter is classified into SUBSTANCES and MIXTURES.
(10 mins) One way of knowing the difference between the two is knowing their composition.
Mixtures contain two or more components and these components are substances.
Example: Seawater is a homogeneous mixture (solution) of water and salt.
Substances are matter of particular or definite chemical constitution.
Example: Water is a substance composed of elements hydrogen and oxygen.
Salt is also a substance composed mainly of elements Sodium and Chlorine.

Activity Have one or more students recall yesterday’s activity:
(5 mins) What was our lesson that we took up yesterday?
Our previous lesson talked about classifying matter into substances and mixtures.
We learned that there are three ways by which we can classify them: 1) knowing what it’s
made of; 2) studying its boiling behavior; and 3) studying its melting behavior.
This time, we will classify substances further. What these classifications are, we shall find out
in the next activity.
Activity
In the same groups of 3, perform Module 3, Activity 1, p.30 of Science 7 Learner’s Material.

Analysis
(10 mins) What is element?
What is compound?
How does one identify whether the substance is an element or a compound?
Abstraction
(15 mins) Substances can be classified further into ELEMENTS and COMPOUNDS.
Elements-- are the fundamental substances that make up compounds.
--- pure substance and simplified form of matter which cannot be decomposed by
ordinary
chemical means
Example: Hydrogen is an element. Oxygen is also an element. When you combine one
atom of
oxygen with two atoms of hydrogen, you get Water. Thus, water is a
compound.
Compounds –are two or more substances/elements that are chemically combined and cannot
be
separated by physical means
Application Distinguish the following substances by writing element or compound on the space provided
(15 mins) for.
Elements or Compound?

Activity What was our previous lesson all about?
(5 mins)
Our previous lesson talked about how matter can be classified into substances and mixtures.
We learned how to distinguish substances from mixtures by studying their melting and boiling
behavior. And then we further classified substances into elements and compounds. We
learned how elements make up compounds, and one very important principle: the properties
of a compound are distinct from the properties of its constituent elements.
Today, we will learn how compounds can be acidic or basic, and one way of knowing is with
the use of pH indicators.
Teacher demonstrates how a natural pH indicator made from eggplant skin changes color
when added to a sample of vinegar, and a sample of bleach.
So, now you will make your own natural pH indicator.

METALS
In the periodic table, you can see a stair-stepped line starting at Boron (B), atomic number
5, and going all the way down to Polonium (Po), atomic number 84. Except for Germanium
(Ge) and Antimony (Sb), all the elements to the left of that line can be classified as metals.
NONMETALS
Except for the elements that border the stair-stepped line, the elements to the right of the
line are classified as nonmetals (along with hydrogen). Nonmetals have properties opposite
those of the metals.

Analysis
What are the different properties of Metal? Nonmetal? Metalloids?
Abstraction Metals
All elements except hydrogen, which form positive ions by losing electrons during chemical
reactions are called metals. Thus metals are electropositive elements. They are characterized
by bright luster, hardness, ability to resonate sound and are excellent conductors of heat and
electricity. Metals are solids under normal conditions except for Mercury.
Physical Properties of Metals

Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. Other
properties include:
 State: Metals are solids at room temperature with the exception of mercury, which is
liquid at room temperature (Gallium is liquid on hot days).
 Luster: Metals have the quality of reflecting light from its surface and can be polished
e.g., gold, silver and copper.
 Malleability: Metals have the ability to withstand hammering and can be made into
thin sheets known as foils (a sugar cube chunk of gold can be pounded into a thin
sheet which will cover a football field).
 Ductility: Metals can be drawn into wires. 100 gm of silver can be drawn into a thin
wire about 200 meters long.
 Hardness: All metals are hard except sodium and potassium, which are soft and can be
cut with a knife.
 Valency: Metals have 1 to 3 electrons in the outermost shell of their atoms.
 Conduction: Metals are good conductors because they have free electrons. Silver and
copper are the two best conductors of heat and electricity. Lead is the poorest
conductor of heat. Bismuth, mercury and iron are also poor conductors
 Density: Metals have high density and are very heavy. Iridium and osmium have the
highest densities whereas lithium has the lowest density.
 Melting and Boiling Points: Metals have high melting and boiling point. Tungsten has
the highest melting point where as silver has low boiling point. Sodium and potassium
have low melting points.
Nonmetals
Elements that tend to gain electrons to form anions during chemical reactions are called non-
metals. These are electronegative elements. They are non-lustrous, brittle and poor
conductors of heat and electricity (except graphite). Non-metals can be gaseous, liquids or
solids.
Physical Properties of nonmetals:

 Physical State: Most of the non-metals exist in two of the three states of matter at
room temperature: gases (oxygen) and solids (carbon).
 Non-Malleable and Ductile: Non-metals are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into
wires or pounded into sheets.
 Conduction: They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
 Luster: These have no metallic luster and do not reflect light
 Conductivity: Poor conductors of heat and electricity
 Melting and Boiling Points: The melting points of non-metals are generally lower than
metals
Metalloids
Metalloids are all solid at room temperature. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium,
can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-
conductors. Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a
characteristic of some nonmetals). It is a much poorer conductor of heat and electricity than
the metals. They can form alloys with other metals.
Their physical properties tend to be metallic, but their chemical properties tend to be non-
metallic. The oxidation number of an element in this group can range from +3 to -2, depending
on the group in which it is located.
