C. Activity
Safety Precautions Before, During the Activity:
1.Be careful in handling the materials.
2.Be sure to do the experiment with supervision of your
teacher.
3.Do not smell or taste any material especially if you are
not familiar with it.
4.Use material with care for the purpose for which it is
intended.
5.Carefully follow the procedure.

The teacher prepares the set-up of the apparatus for the

experiment

Instructions:
1.Divide the class into four. Each group will perform the
activities.
2.Distribution of activity cards
(See attachment of the activity)

ACTIVITY 1
I. Title: How does sedimentation occur in mixing
powdered chalk in a glass of water?
II. Materials: chalk, glass of water
III. Procedure

1.Prepare the materials needed.

2.Get some pieces of chalk then make it to a powdery
form.
3.Put the powdered chalk into the glass of water then stir
it.
4.When you have stirred it for about 10 seconds leave
the glass of water then stir it.
5.Observe what happen.

IV. Questions:
1.Identify the color of the glass of water while you stir it.
(Dirty white, cloudy)
 2.What happen to the mixture after leaving it in 15
minutes? (Ans. The chalk will settle at the bottom of
the glass after being mixed in because it does not
dissolve in water.

3.Can you separate the water to the dissolved chalk

powder? (Ans. Yes)
4.What do you think is the process of separating that
kind of mixture? (Ans: Sedimentation)
D. Analysis What process of separating mixtures is being described
in the experiment? (Ans. Sedimentation)
How would you describe the process of separating
mixture through sedimentation using the activity? (Ans.
This process involves letting the insoluble substance (a
substance that will not dissolve in a solvent) settle at the
bottle of the solvent.)

What are other mixtures that can be separated through

sedimentation? (Ans. Decanting and Centrifuging)

E. Abstraction Sedimentation is the process of allowing particles in

suspension in water to settle out of the suspension under
the effect of gravity. The particles that settle out from the
suspension become sediment, and in water treatment is
known as sludge It is a form of separating substances.
This process involves letting an insoluble substance (a
substance that will not dissolve in a solvent) settle at the
bottle of a solvent. An example of this if you mix chalk
and water, the chalk will settle at the bottom of the glass
after being mixed in because it does not dissolve in
water.
There are two processes of sedimentation. They are
decanting and centrifuging. Decanting- this process is
somewhat the easiest of the two. It involves letting the
mixture settle for a while. The heavier, insoluble
substances will settle at the bottom of the liquid. A clear
liquid will be left at the top. Once it is taken out. You have
decanted the liquid. The impure substances are left
behind.
Centrifuging- is a way of speeding up the process of
sedimentation. A centrifuge, found in laboratory, consists
of many test tubes spinning at high speeds which
inevitably forces the insoluble substance to the bottom
quicker. A washing machine is good example of this
process. It spins quickly and water flies out through the
holes in the sides and the clothes stay in the washing
machine.
F. Application How do you separate mixtures through sedimentation?
(Sedimentation can be used to separate particles based
 on their size by applying a centrifugal force to the
required solution)
G. Practical Applications of Is sedimentation applicable to our daily life? (Yes)How?
Concepts and Skills in (It removes undesirable small particulate suspended
Daily Living matter (sand, salt and clay) and some biological
contaminants from water under the influence of gravity.)

H. Generalization What is sedimentation? What are the two processes of

sedimentation?
I. Evaluation Answer the following:
1.What is sedimentation? (Ans. It is the process of
allowing particles in suspension in water to settle out of
the suspension under the effect of gravity.)
2.What are the two processes of sedimentation? (Ans.
decanting and centrifuging)
3.Why is sedimentation used? (Ans. The sedimentation
process is used to reduce particle concentration in the
water.)

J. Additional activities for Give at least two examples of sedimentation as a

application or process of separating mixtures.

(assignment) settling in pond water)
