Course:

Science and Technology
Transformation of

Matter
Cycle 1 / Year 1.

Topic: Mixtures &
Solutions (Solute &
Solvent) & Dissolution
Context
This is the 6th class in the transformation of matter unit, which will span about
10 classes. The first half of this unit focused on the kinds of transformations
matter can undergo. This second half looks more specifically at matter and how
we can classify it: as pure substances or mixtures.

Last class, we talked about the differences between pure substances and
mixtures. This class we will continue with this and move onto the difference
between homogeneous + heterogeneous mixtures. This class, we will start
solutions & dissolution if there is time.

Objectives

Distinguishes between a solution or homogenous mixture and a

(Students Will
heterogeneous mixture
Be Able To)

Recognizes the solute in a given solution.

Recognizes the solvent in a given solution.

Big Ideas

Matter is made up of tiny particles. These particles behave in particular ways

when mixed together.

Subject
Competency 2: Makes the most of his/her knowledge of science and technology
Specific

The class will have discussions about mixtures and pure substances. This will
Competency
force students to reflect upon items in their daily lives. I will question
students to provoke them to think about their evidence for why their
examples fit each category: they must analyze everyday situations from the
point of view of science.

Cross
Competency 1: Uses information.
Curricular

Students will make connections between what they already know, and what
Competencies
they are learning. Students already have experience with how substances act

when put together. They will use this information to better understand what

is happening in mixtures.

Opening Lesson:

Review of the difference between a pure substance and a mixture.

Last class we talked about the ways we can categorize matter: pure
substances vs. mixtures - I will quiz students about these elements. We will
continue be talking about the different kinds of mixtures that exists.

Development:

Show PowerPoint on Mixtures/Solutions.

I will ask students to think of things they are familiar with and identify
whether they are mixtures or pure substances.

I will ask students how they think two substances can look like one.

This will lead into dissolution: a solute and solvent being combined.

I will use an analogy of people to explain how the particles mix during
dissolution.

Students discuss about things they know that are considered solutions. Can
they identify the solvent, solute?

Some kinds of particles do not blend well. Like oil and water.

Closure:

Students may work on their crossword & handout concerning the differences
between pure substances and the different kinds of mixtures.


Homework:

Students will be asked to complete the memory check on pg. 205 of their
textbook. They will also complete their crossword puzzle and their handout on
pure substances and mixtures.

For this lesson, I will be working on my teacher presence and encouraging
participation from the students.

I will make sure I am circulating the classroom, whether we are having a
discussion or taking notes. I want to make sure that I encourage
participation from all students not just those who are always eager to
answer questions.
