 LESSON PLAN EXEMPLAR IN SCIENCE 6
Quarter 1
USING 5E’S INQUIRY –BASED LEARNING APPROACH

A. Content Standards
The learners demonstrate understanding of different techniques to
separate mixtures.

B.Performance Standards
The learners should be able to separate desired materials from
common and local products.

C. Learning Competencies/Objectives
Enumerate techniques in separating mixtures such as picking,
winnowing, decantation, use of magnet, sieving, filtering and evaporation,(S6MT-Id-f-
2)

D. Unpacked Competencies
1.Separate the components of common solid mixtures by picking.
2.Separate the components of common solid mixtures by winnowing.
3.Separate insoluble solid in a liquid using decantation.
4.Separate immiscible liquids using decantation.
5.Separate the components of common solid mixtures containing
magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
7.Demonstrate how a soluble solid is separated from a liquid using
evaporation.
8.Demonstrate how simple mixtures of fine and coarse particles of solid
materials are separated.
I.OBJECTIVES:

1.Identify magnetic and non-magnetic materials.

2.Explain the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
3. Separate the components of common solid mixtures containing magnetic
and non-magnetic materials.

II.CONTENT:

A. Separating Mixtures Through Magnet.

B. Learning Resources:

magnets
C. Materials: magnet, pebbles , marble ,flour, rubber band, paper
clips, nails, wire, penny, activity cards, and charts.

III.INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURE
A. Engage
1.Motivation
Magic Trick
There are paper clips on the table. The teacher will place a magnet on
her hand without allowing the pupils to see it.
The teacher will say “Would you want to see how these paper clips
move from one place to another?” I will carefully place my hand over the
paper clips and observe what happen?
2. Unlocking of Difficulties
Unscrambled the letters to reveal the words.

B. Exploration:

1.Group the class into four. Each group will perform differentiated activity.
2.Distribute the activity cards to each group and let them perform the said
activity.
3.Remind the class of the standards in doing the activity.

Activity 1.

I. Title: Name Me
II. Materials:Things Inside their bag,
III. Procedure:
1.Open your bag.
2.Identify the things that are magnetic and non-magnetic inside your bag.
3.List down these materials in the table below.

Magnetic Materials Non-Magnetic Materials

IV. Questions:
1.What are the magnetic materials found in your bag?
2.What are the non-magnetic materials in your bag?
 Activity 2

I. Problem: Draw Me
II. Materials:Materials in the classroom.
III. Procedure
1.Look around the classroom.
2.Draw magnetic and non-magnetic things found in the classroom in a
piece of manila paper.
IV. Question:
1.Based on your drawing, what are the magnetic and non-magnetic
things found in the classroom?

Activity 3
I.Title: Separate Me
II.Materials: pebbles , marble ,flour, rubber band, paper clips, nails, wire,
penny.
III.Procedure
1.Prepare the materials.
2.Mix them together in a box.
3.Separate the mixture using the magnet.
4.Observe what happen.
IV.Questions:
1.What happen to the paper clips, nails, wire and penny as the magnet
is near into it?
2.What happen to the pebbles , marble ,flour, rubber band as the
magnet is near into it?
3.What do you call those materials that attract the magnet?
 Activity 4

I.Title:Cling on Me
II.Materials:meta cards written with name of magnetic and non-
magnetic materials.
III.Procedure:
1.Pick up one meta cards inside the box.
2.Paste it in your forehead.
3.One member of the group will act as human magnet.

C.Explanation
1.Ask the pupils to report and present their output in their activity.

D.Elaboration
1.Making generalizations about the lesson.
What is magnetism?
What is magnetic materials?
What is non-magnetic materials?
How to separate magnetic from non-magnetic materials?

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS

Magnetism is an invisible force that can attract (or repel) certain materials,
such as iron and steel. This force is called magnetic field and is created by magnets
.. What is magnet? Magnets are objects made of magnetic materials that produce a
magnetic field. Magnets pull other objects made of magnetic materials towards them
They will either attracts or repel other magnets.

Magnetism is a process of separating mixture which magnetically susceptible

material is attracted from a mixture using a magnetic force. It is a form of separating
mixtures which involves using a magnet to attract another magnetic object away
from the substance it is in.
 Some examples of separating magnetic substances from no magnetic iron
nails from glass chippings and separating iron paper clips from saw dusts. Magnetic
separators are used in factories. Materials are put on a conveyor belt that is spun by
magnetic wheels.

. As the objects are moved upside down the non-magnetic objects fall off and
the magnetic ones stay on. This separation technique can also be useful in mining
as it is attracted to a magnet.
.
. Moreover magnetic separator is also used in milling. It removes metal species
in wheat, in order to ensure safety at work. To remove metal content from wheat to
protect other machines safety.
.
. And to remove metal powder mixed in flour during milling process and to
ensure product purity, magnetic separation is needed before finished product
packaging.

2.Valuing
Is separating mixture using magnet is important to us? Why?

E.Evaluation

Identify the following materials. Write magnetic or non-magnetic .

1.clay
2.safety pins
3.paper
4.staple wire
5.cloth

IV.Assignment
List down five advantages in separating mixture using magnet.
