Introductory Message
Welcome to Grade 7 Science.
The Sci-Box (A Self-Learning Package) for Junior High School is developed to

guide you our dear learners to meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum.
The Sci-Box aims to guide our learners in accomplishing activities at their own
pace and time. This also aims to assist learners in developing and achieving the life-
SCIENCE
long learning skills while considering their needs and situations.
For learning facilitator: Quarter 1| Lesson 1

The Sci-Box is developed to address the current needs of the learner to continue
learning in the comforts of their homes or learning centers. As the learning facilitator,
make sure that you give them clear instructions on how to study and accomplish the
given activities in the material. Learner’s progress must be monitored.
For the learner:
The Sci-Box is developed to help you, dear learner, in your needs to continue
learning even if you are not in school. This learning material aims to primarily provide
you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand to follow the instructions given.
REMEMBER ….
To answer the given exercises, questions and assessment, USE your Science Activity
Notebook or Answer Sheet. When you are DONE, wait for the teacher/volunteer to
collect your Activity notebook or Answer Sheet.
Good luck and God bless.

Learning Competency:
Investigate Properties of Unsaturated
or Saturated Solutions (S7MT-1c-2)
Ready to Launch!
You often mix materials together at home like making a glass of pow-
dered pineapple juice but not everything mixes in the same way. Some materials
seem to disappear in water or in other liquids. They have dissolved. Have you ob-
served that there is a limit to the amount of pineapple juice powder that can
be dissolved in a given amount of water? This has something to do with the solu-
bility of materials.
You will find out how much a certain material can dissolve in a given amount of
another material and the type of solution you are producing.
Aim at the Target!

After going through this module, you will be able to...
1. investigate properties of unsaturated and saturated solutions.
1.1 identify the different factors that affects the solubility of a

substance.
Try This!
Multiple Choices.
1. Which of these factors will cause more sugar to dissolve in a saturated

sugar solution?
I. Add more sugar while stirring

II. Add more sugar and heat to the solution.
III. Add more sugar and cool down the solution.
a. I only b. III only c. II only d. I and II only
2. All of the following affects the solubility of a solid in a liquid

EXCEPT... .
a. pressure b. stirring c. surface area d. temperature
3. Which of the following evidences make the solution saturated?

a. no precipitate c. both a and b
b. solid precipitate d. none of the above
Keep This in Mind!
Activity 1– Saturated or Unsaturated Solutions
Is There A Limit To The Amount Of Solute That Will Dissolve in a Solvent?
Count the number of particles present in each beaker. Fill in the table to show the
number of dissolved solute particles and the number of solid solute particles. Beaker
A is done for you.
• All beakers contain 10.0 g of Unsaturated Solutions

water. Beaker A Beaker B
• All beakers are keot at 20 oC.
• All solutions are stirred for 2

hours.
1.0 g of solute added 2.0 g of solute added
• Solute is the same substance in
all beakers.
Number of dissolved particles 5
Number of undissolved particles 0

Saturated Solutions
Beaker C Beaker D Beaker E
3.6 g of solute is added 7.0 g of solute is added 9.0 g of solute is added
1.Which beakers represent unsaturated solutions?

2. Which beakers represent saturated solutions?
3. When a small amount of solute is added to an unsaturated solution, what happens to the
number of dissolved particles. Provide specific evidence from the table.
4. When a small amount of solute particles is added to a saturated solution, what happens to
the number of dissolved particles? Provide specific evidence from the table.
5. Predict what would happen if additional solute is stirred into beaker E.
6. How can you distinguish a saturated from an unsaturated solution by just looking at the
beaker?
7.if you were a given a beaker containing a clear solution (with no solid solute at the bottom),
what simple test would you do to determine if it is saturated or unsaturated solution?
Analysis
If you will add ½ teaspoon of sugar in 2 tablespoon of water and stir and contin-
ually add another ½ teaspoon of sugar to the same solution, you will have a total of 2
½ tablespoon of sugar.
You will notice that after stirring, undissolved sugar particles can be observed in
the solution.
1. How many teaspoon of sugar completely dissolve in 2 tablespoon of water? What
solution was formed?
2. How many teaspoon of sugar will no longer dissolve in 2 tablespoon of water?
What do you call the solution?
3. If you continue to add sugar, what will happen to the solution?
Abstraction and Generalization
Solubility is the capacity of a substance to dissolve in another substance. The

dissolve substance is called the solute (usually present in small amount) and the dis-
solving fluid (usually present in excess or greater amount) is called the solvent. They
together form a solution.
The term unsaturated solution is defined as a solution in which no more solute
can be dissolved in the solvent. It is understood that saturation of the solution has
been achieved when any additional substance that is added results in a solid precipi-
tate. The point at which the liquid cannot dissolve more of the solute at a constant
temperature is called saturation point. A solution at which more of the solute can be
dissolved at a given temperature is called unsaturated solution. A solution may some-
times contains more solute that would be necessary to saturate it at a given tempera-
ture such a solution is called supersaturated solution.
There are factors that affect solubility of substances.
Particle size: The smaller the size of the solute particles, the greater the solubility
of solute. It is easier to dissolve powdered sugar in coffee than granules of sugar.
Mechanical stirring: The solubility of solution increases with mechanical stirring.

Sugar dissolves faster with faster stirring using a spoon or stirrer.
Temperature: For solids and liquids, solubility increases with every increase in
temperature; but for gases the solubility decreases with increasing temperature.
Nature of solute: Materials that are soluble with each

other.
Fish needs dissolved oxygen to survive. If the tempera-
ture of the water increases, the concentration of dissolved
oxygen decreases and the survival of the fish is endangered.
Application
Cloud Seeding
Silver iodide crystals are used to seed the air supersaturated with water
vapor, and they cause the water to come together and form droplets that will
fall to the Earth as rain. Cite your real life application of solubility.
Reflect
Cite different situations were solubility is observed at home.

(e.g. making a cup of coffee)
Reinforcement & Enrichment
Make the following proportion of orange juice and describe

their taste:
a. 1 sachet of orange powdered juice and 1 pitcher of cold water
b. 1 sachet of orange powdered juice and 1 1/2 pitcher of cold water
c. 1 sachet of orange powdered juice and 1/2 pitcher of cold water
Which among the orange juice preparations is saturated, un-

saturated, and supersaturated solutions?

5. In an ___________________, more solute can be dissolved in the

solvent at a certain temperature.
