  • Types of mixtures
    • Heterogeneous
    • Homogeneous
  • Homogeneous mixtures

    Mixtures wherein the substances used cannot be distinguished from one-another
  • Homogeneous mixtures
    • Wine
    • Air
    • Sugar water
  • Heterogeneous mixtures

    Mixtures that contain 2 or more phases, where the ingredients can be told apart
  • Heterogeneous mixtures
    Non-uniform mixtures
  • Homogeneous mixtures
    Uniform mixtures
  • Solutions
    The most common type of homogeneous mixtures
  • How solutions are formed
    1. 1 substance is dissolved in another
    2. Consist of solvent and solute
    3. Solvent is used to dissolve the solute
    4. Solvent is always greater in amount than the solute
  • Water
    The universal solvent because it can dissolve all states of matter
  • Suspension
    Mixture where heavier substances settle on the bottom
  • Colloid
    Mixture where substances do not dissolve but do not settle either, remaining dispersed
  • Separation methods for mixtures
    • Winnowing
    • Magnetizing
    • Sedimentation
    • Decantation
    • Evaporation
    • Filtration
    • Distillation
  • Winnowing
    • Separating rice husks from grains
  • Sedimentation
    Process of letting sediments settle on the bottom of the mixture
  • Decantation
    Pouring out the substance above the mixture after sedimentation
  • Evaporation
    Putting the mixture above fire to let the water or liquid evaporate
  • Filtration
    Using a filter such as cloth to take out solid from liquid
  • Distillation
    Separating liquid to liquid mixtures to purify them
  • Integumentary system
    Protects the body from diseases, maintains body temperature, prevents water loss, and eliminates waste products
  • Components of the integumentary system
    • Nails
    • Hair
    • Skin
  • Skin

  • Layers of the skin
    • Epidermis
    • Dermis
  • Epidermis

  • Dermis
    Contains nerve endings, blood vessels, oil and sweat glands, and melanocytes
  • Melanocytes
    Cause the skin to be fair or dark
  • Hair
    Grows from the hair follicle, each connected to an oil gland
  • Nails
    Formed in nail roots found under the skin, with the nail plate and cuticle
  • Acne
    Skin disorder caused by inflammation of sebaceous or oil glands, common in teenagers due to hormonal changes
  • Eczema
    Medical condition causing visible patches or rough and scaly skin that becomes inflamed, with blisters, itching and bleeding
  • Psoriasis
    Long-term chronic skin disease causing rapid skin cell production and silver, white or red patches called plaque
  • Skin cancer
    Malignant cancer cells detected on the epidermis, caused by overexposure to UV rays and genetic factors
  • Musculoskeletal system
    Helps with daily activities, consists of bones, muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage
  • Skeleton
    Serves as the body's framework, determines the shape of the body, and protects soft and delicate parts and organs
  • Bone tissues
    • Compact
    • Cancellous
  • Compact bone
    The hard outer layer
  • Cancellous bone
    The soft and spongy inner layer made up of organic matter, minerals, and tissues
  • Bone marrow
    Produces red blood cells, and stores minerals and fats
  • An adult human being possesses a total of 206 bones of varying shapes and sizes
  • Parts of the skeleton
    • Axial
