Grade/Section: Grade 7-Aguinaldo, Macapagal Subject Area/s: Science 7

I. MELC: distinguish mixtures from substances based on a set of properties S7MT-ib-c-3

recognize that substances are classified into elements and compounds S7MT-id-e-2
II. Objective/s:
a. Knowledge: distinguish the different classifications of matter in terms of
properties
b. Skills: explain how matter is classified according to composition
c. Values/Attitude: develop awareness on the different classification of matter
III. Subject Matter: Classification of Matter: Introduction

IV. Procedure:
A. Readings
i. Review:
 Matter can be classified according to physical and chemical properties.
 Scientists can observe physical properties without changing the composition
of the substance, whereas chemical properties describe the tendency of a
substance to undergo chemical changes (chemical reactions) that change its
chemical composition.
 Physical properties can be intensive or extensive. Intensive properties are the
same for all samples; do not depend on sample size; and include, for example,
color, physical state, and melting and boiling points.
 Extensive properties depend on the amount of material and include mass and
volume.
ii. Unlocking of terms:
 Atom: ‘smallest’ basic unit of matter
 Molecule: two or more atoms held
together by chemical bonds
 Compound: A molecule with at least
2 different elements
 Ion: atom, molecule or compound
that has a charge (+ or -)

iii. Key points:

CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER
  Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.
 Matter can be divided into pure substances and mixtures.
 Pure substances are made up of one type of particle and cannot be
physically separated into other substances.
 Mixtures are made up of more than one type of particle and can be
physically separated into other substances.
 Mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
 Homogeneous mixtures consist of a single phase and have a uniform
composition.
 Heterogeneous mixtures consist of two or more phases and do not have
a uniform composition.
 Solutions are mixtures that are homogeneous at the macroscopic and
microscopic level.
 Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solute-like particles
settle out of a solvent-like phase sometime after their introduction.
 Colloids are mixtures that are homogeneous at the macroscopic level but
heterogeneous at the microscopic level.
 Colloids can be distinguished from solutions as they are opaque whereas
solutions are transparent; colloids can also be spun into different phases
whereas solutions cannot.

C. Assessment/Application
Directions: Yes/No: Indicate whether you agree with the sentence or statement.

You are given a flask that contains 250 mL of a clear, brown liquid. You
shine a light through the liquid, and no light beam is visible. In the following
list of items, record a Y if that item could be a valid definition for the liquid.
Record an N if that item could not be a valid definition.
____ 1. substance
____ 2. colloid
____ 3. solution of a solid in a liquid
____ 4. suspension
____ 5. solution of a liquid in a liquid
