Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Response

Activity #1: Melted or Frozen? (Review)

As their review, the teacher will prepare
pictures of different materials exposed to heat
and cool places. The students will identify the
temperature to which the materials have been
exposed.

Directions: Analyze the different materials and

Activity #3: Mixing Solids (By Group)
The class will be divided into 4 groups and they
are tasked to do a group experiment. Before
starting the experiment the teacher will briefly
discuss the laboratory safety rules.

Materials Needed:
- 1 pc spoon
- 2 pc of mixing bowls/any small plastic

- instant coffee and creamer (coffee stick

and small sachet of creamer)
- white sugar and iodized salt (1

- Flour and baby powder (1 tablespoon)
- paper clips (2 pcs.) and staple wires (3
pcs.)

What to do?
1. Gather and arrange the necessary
supplies.
2. Combine the solid material pairs
mentioned on the chart using the
spoon and mixing bowl.
3. Watch what happens to the materials
after merging. Once you've combined
the two ingredients, you can touch the
outcome of the mixture.
4. Copy the table from the television, then Guide Questions:
