Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 7

Objective:

1. Explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated solution.

2. Demonstrate responsibility in handling solutions.

3. Arrange the steps in preparing a saturated solution in the correct order.

Learning across curriculum:

1) Math - Students can calculate the concentration of a solution using mathematical


formulas.

2) English - Students can write a scientific explanation of the concept of saturation.

3) Home Economics - Students can prepare a saturated solution of a food ingredient


to demonstrate the concept.

Elicit:

Teaching Strategy: K-W-L Chart

Instructional Materials: Whiteboard, markers, K-W-L Chart template

Anecdote 1: Share a personal experience of preparing a solution and the


importance of understanding saturation levels.

Anecdote 2: Share a Filipino tradition that involves the preparation of a


solution, such as making a traditional herbal remedy.

Engage:
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning

Instructional Materials: Solution samples, beakers, droppers

1) Idea: Divide students into groups and provide them with different solution
samples. Ask them to observe and discuss the differences they see.

2) Idea: Conduct a mystery box activity where students have to guess the type of
solution inside the box based on its properties.

Explore:

Activity 1: Saturation Experiment

Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning

Materials: Salt, water, beakers, stirring rod

Significance: Students will explore the concept of saturation by observing the


dissolving process and determining the point of saturation.

Instructions:

1) Measure equal amounts of water in two beakers.

2) Add salt to one beaker and stir until no more salt dissolves.

3) Observe and record the differences between the two beakers.

Rubric:

- Observation of the dissolving process: 5 pts

- Recording of differences between the two beakers: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) What is the difference between the beaker with salt and the beaker without salt?

2) At what point did the salt stop dissolving in the water?


Activity 2: Saturated Solution Preparation

Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning

Materials: Sugar, water, beakers, stirring rod

Significance: Students will practice preparing a saturated solution and


understand the importance of following the correct steps.

Instructions:

1) Measure a specific amount of water in a beaker.

2) Gradually add sugar to the beaker while stirring until no more sugar dissolves.

3) Observe and record the appearance of the solution.

Rubric:

- Accurate measurement of water: 5 pts

- Gradual addition of sugar: 5 pts

- Observation and recording of the solution's appearance: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) What is the appearance of a saturated sugar solution?

2) What would happen if more sugar is added to a saturated solution?

Activity 3: Responsibility in Handling Solutions

Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing

Materials: Safety goggles, gloves, solution samples


Significance: Students will understand the importance of responsible handling
of solutions to ensure safety.

Instructions:

1) Assign roles to students such as a scientist, lab assistant, and safety officer.

2) Provide solution samples and simulate a laboratory setting.

3) Students will demonstrate responsible handling of solutions by wearing safety


goggles and gloves, following proper disposal procedures, and reporting any
accidents or spills.

Rubric:

- Proper use of safety goggles and gloves: 5 pts

- Following proper disposal procedures: 5 pts

- Reporting of accidents or spills: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) Why is it important to wear safety goggles and gloves when handling solutions?

2) What should you do in case of an accident or spill in the laboratory?

Explain The teacher will explain the concept of saturation using visual aids and
examples. They will also engage in a class discussion to ensure understanding and
address any questions or misconceptions.

Elaborate:

Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning

Task 1: Students will design an experiment to test the saturation levels of


different solvents.

Task 2: Students will research and create a poster or presentation on the


applications of saturated solutions in various industries.
Evaluate:

Teaching Strategy: Direct Instruction

Instructional Materials: Assessment sheets, pen

Question 1: Define a saturated solution and provide an example.

Question 2: Explain the steps in preparing a saturated solution.

Question 3: Why is it important to handle solutions responsibly?

Extend:

Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning

Instructional Materials: Research materials, presentation software

Students will apply their understanding of saturated and unsaturated solutions to


design and present a project on the importance of proper solute-solvent ratios in
different real-life scenarios, such as cooking, medicine, or environmental science.

Assignment:

Assignment 1: Conduct an experiment at home to prepare a saturated solution


using a different solute and solvent. Write a short report on your observations.

Assignment 2: Watch a video on the applications of saturated solutions in


different industries and write a reflection paper discussing the significance of
saturation in those fields.

Note: The teacher can modify and adapt the lesson plan based on the available
resources, time constraints, and the needs of the students.
