Learning Competency: I dentify the role of the solute and solvent in a solution
ACTIVITY 1: Sugar and Water Experiment : Objective: To observe sugar dissolving in water. Materials: Clear glass, water, sugar, spoon .
Activity: Fill the glass with water, add a teaspoon of sugar, and stir. Ask students to watch as the sugar (solute) disappears into the water (solvent), forming a solution.
ACTIVITY 2: Colorful Solutions :
ACTIVITY 3: Temperature Test Objective: To learn how temperature affects solubility. Materials: Warm water, cold water, sugar, two clear glasses .
Activity : Add sugar to both warm and cold water. Observe which one dissolves the sugar faster, discussing the effect of temperature on the solvent’s ability to dissolve the solute.
What is a solution?
A solution is what you get when the solute has completely dissolved in the solvent. So, the sweet water you drink is the solution
SOLUTION It is a mixture of a solvent and a solute.
What is a SOLVENT?
The solvent is what does the dissolving. It’s like the water that dissolves the sugar to make the sweet water.
Example: Water
What is a SOLUTE ?
The solute is what gets dissolved. Think of it like the sugar you put into water to make sweet water.
Example: Sugar Salt Coffee
Two Types of SOLUTE
SOLUBLE And INSOLUBLE
SOLUBLE – water loving solute. (can be dissolved in water) Example : sugar , salt, coffee, milk powder
Example: Sand, paper, oil, rubber, wood INSOLUBLE – water FEARING solute . ( cannot be dissolved in water)
Activity Time
SOLUBLE or INSOLUBLE
Determine whether the substance given is soluble or insoluble.
Salt (NaCl) Sugar (Sucrose) Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) Ethanol (Alcohol) Coffee
