Competency
The learner should be able to Page Number
describe the components of a
scientific investigation
----- 26-36
The scientific method is a tool used by scientists to answer questions about the world. It
follows step-by-step procedures which are logical and sequential. This is often conducted in
scientific investigations which seek to find out the truth regarding a certain phenomenon.
The first step is to make OBSERVATIONS. It consists of receiving knowledge through our
senses from our environment. Observing things around us will lead to good scientific questions
that will recognize a problem we wanted to resolve.
Third step is to formulate a HYPOTHESIS. This is also known as an educated guess for
the possible solution to a problem. It is in the form of statement that is used to predict the
outcome of an experiment.
Fourth step is to design a procedure for an EXPERIMENT. This is done to test the possible
solution to a problem or hypothesis. When you design an experiment, you are controlling and
measuring variables. The things that are changing in an experiment are called variables. There
are three types of variables in an experiment. The controlled or constant variable (cannot
changed), independent variable (can stand, changed and controlled) and dependent variable
(one that is tested and measured).
Fifth step is to ANALYZE DATA OR INFORMATION collected during an experiment
and to draw CONCLUSIONS (summary of findings) whether to accept or reject the
hypothesis. Data can be qualitative (describes qualities or characteristics) or quantitative
(measures values).
And last step is to COMMUNICATE THE RESULTS. This is to present findings of the
conducted experiment for the information of others.
__________1. Mark thought that cactus would grow faster if he puts pebbles through
the soil in which they were planted.
__________2. Hanna’s data showed that ants moved away from raw cucumber slices.
__________3. Maria wondered if she could extract dye out of gumamela flowers
and leaves.
__________4. Peter grew molds from spoiled bread. He placed drops of different
vinegar to see how bread molds react with the substance.
__________5. Aling Nena’s experiment showed that duck eggshells were whiter and
stronger when she fed the ducks with commercial feeds combined with corn, to which
extra calcium had been added.
__________6. Jose saw ticks crawling in his dog’s body. He asked the veterinarian,
“How are ticks able to grow with his dog?”

2. During their school intramurals, a volleyball match between competing teams took place on
the school grounds under the heat of the sun. Team A wears white jersey shirts while Team B
has black jersey shirts as their uniform. After the game, their respective coaches noticed that
Team B players felt hotter and produced more body sweat than Team A players. They are trying
to figure out if their observations are connected with their respective jersey uniforms.

You bought a dozen of pandesal bread in the nearby bakery store from your house. You
ate 10 pieces of it during snacks time in
the afternoon with your friends. The
two unconsumed pandesal bread were
left inside the paper bag over the next
three days. You noticed that after two
humid days, tiny water droplets
appearing like couple of sweat had
accumulated inside the bread bag
which was dark. The leftover pandesal
bread began to moisten. During the 3rd
day, you eventually seen clusters of
grayish spots on the bread surface and
it smelled a foul odor. You asked your
mother about it and she advised not to eat them anymore because molds were already present
in the pandesal.

SCIENCE 7
Name of Learner: ________________________________ Grade Level: ______
Section: _________________________________________ Date: ____________
The substance of the universe is called matter. Matter is generally referred to as anything
that has mass and takes up space. Matter is classified into pure substance and mixture. Pure
Substance is being classified into elements and compounds.
Elements are substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances. The smallest
particles of matter are called atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element. A
chemical symbol is a shorthand method used by chemist to represent an element. Chemists use
one or two letters to represent elements.
All matter is made up of elements which are substances with only one type of atom. There
are 118 elements currently on the Periodic Table. The modern periodic table is used to organize
all the known elements. They are arranged in the table by increasing atomic number. Each
element is represented by its chemical symbol and the number above each symbol is its atomic
number.
Elements can be classified into three: metal, nonmetal and metalloid or semi-metal.
Metals are typically hard, shiny, malleable, ductile and good conductors of heat and electricity.
Nonmetals are usually brittle, non-malleable, have dull appearance and poor conductors of heat
and electricity. Semi-metals or metalloid are elements that exhibit both the properties of metal
and nonmetal.
The metalloids separate the metals and nonmetals on a periodic table. Also, many periodic
tables have a stair-step line on the table identifying the element groups. The line begins at boron
(B) and extends down to polonium (Po). Elements to the left of the line are considered metals.
Elements just to the right of the line exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals and are
termed metalloids or semimetals. Elements to the far right of the periodic table are nonmetals.
The exception is hydrogen (H), the first element on the periodic table. At ordinary temperatures
and pressures, hydrogen behaves as a nonmetal.
Recognize that substances are classified into elements and compounds (S7MT-Ig-h-5).

Substance
Substances are form of matter that has definite and unchanging chemical compositions.
Substances are further broken down into elements and compounds.
Properties of substance:
1. Has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.
2. It cannot be separated into components without chemical bonds.
3. Substance can be solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Changes in temperature or pressure can
cause substances to shift between the different phases of matter.
Mixture
A mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are
mixed but not combined chemically. It is a physical combination of two or more substances
in which the identities of the individual substances are retained. Mixtures take the form of
alloys, solutions, suspensions and colloids. The amount of each substance in the mixture is
not fixed.
In this activity sheets, you will be able to distinguish mixture from substances based on
a set of properties.
.

You had learned from your previous lesson the properties of a solution. You were able
to find out that a solution is formed when a solute is added in a solvent forming a single phase
that appears uniform throughout. Solutions may come in solids, liquids or gas depending on
its solute and solvent.
The concentration of a solution tells the quantity of solute present in a given solvent.
A solution that contains a very small amount of solute is classified as diluted solution while
a solution that contains a large amount of solute is classified as concentrated solution.
Concentrations of solutions can be described qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative
description is simply observing the appearance of the solution while quantitative description
gives the exact amount of solute and solvent present in the solution. It can be expressed in
percent by mass and percent by volume.
_____2. Adding more water to a concentrated solution will affect its concentration.
1. Why is it important to know the concentration of solutions that you used or buy?
___________________________________________________________________________

______
Directions: Study the given problems and solve what is being asked for.
1. A solution contains 5 grams of salt and 195 grams of water.
2. A sugar solution has a mass of 500 grams. The solution contains 200 grams of sugar.
3. Sodium acetate is a compound that readily dissolves in water. How much sodium
acetate should you used in 135 grams of water to produce a 25% solution?
You can compute for the percent by volume using the equation:
𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒
% volume = 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 x 100%
40 ml 60 ml
25 ml 175 ml
8 ml 50 ml
250 ml 70 %
