This is the Science 7 Quarter 1 Module 4 self-learning module, officially titled “I Have Less, She Has Ample, He Has More, Let Us See What’s In Store!” It is an Alternative Delivery Mode module from the Department of Education SOCCSKSARGEN region (code CO_Q1_Science7_Module4, First Edition, 2020). Learners find out how much solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent, and they learn to tell unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions apart through simple sugar-and-water experiments.
What learners will learn
Lesson 1 expects learners to:
- describe saturated and unsaturated solutions;
- determine how much solid solute dissolves in each volume of water; and
- describe the appearance of a saturated solution.
Lesson 2 expects learners to:
- define a supersaturated solution;
- compare and contrast saturated and supersaturated solutions; and
- cite the importance of supersaturated solutions.
Lessons in this module
- Lesson 1: Saturated and Unsaturated Solution. Learners add sugar to 20 mL of water half a teaspoon at a time until it stops dissolving. This shows that a solvent can hold only a maximum amount of solute.
- Lesson 2: Supersaturated Solution. Learners heat a sugar solution so it holds more sugar, then cool it. This shows how a solution can hold more solute than it normally could, and why that state is unstable.
Key ideas: solvent, solute, and solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture. It has a single phase that looks the same throughout, and its particles are too small to see. The substances that make it up are called its components:
- Solvent: the component that dissolves the other. It is usually the larger part of the solution. Example: water dissolving sugar.
- Solute: the component that dissolves in the solvent. It is usually the smaller part. Example: sugar dissolving in water.
- Solubility: the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a certain temperature.
In the Lesson 1 experiment, a little sugar in water gives a clear solution. The sugar particles fit between the spaces of the water particles. As more sugar is added and stirred in, the solution reaches a point where it cannot dissolve any more. Any extra sugar sinks to the bottom as a solid.
Unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions
| Type | What it means | What you see |
|---|---|---|
| Unsaturated | Contains less solute than the maximum it can dissolve at a given temperature | More solute still dissolves |
| Saturated | Contains the maximum amount of solute the solvent can dissolve | Excess solid stays undissolved at the bottom |
| Supersaturated | Contains more solute than its solubility at a given volume and temperature | Unstable; crystals form when disturbed |
The module uses table salt as an example: 35 grams of table salt forms a saturated solution in 100 mL of water. Learners then compare this with 20 grams and 70 grams of salt in the same amount of water.
To make a supersaturated solution, Lesson 2 has learners do these steps:
- Dissolve sugar in 100 mL of water until no more dissolves.
- Heat the solution to at least 80 °C and keep adding sugar.
- Cool it to 25 °C.
If no sugar crystallizes as it cools, the solution is supersaturated. This state is unstable: a slight shake causes precipitation, and some solute comes out of the solution. Once that happens, what is left is a saturated solution.
The module also links solubility to daily life, especially cooking. One home experiment compares how many spoonfuls of sugar dissolve in hot water and in cold water, to show how temperature affects solubility.
How to use this module
Each lesson follows the same order:
- What I Need to Know
- What I Know (pretest)
- What’s In
- What’s New
- What is It
- What’s More
- What I Have Learned
- What I Can Do
- Assessment
- Additional Activities
- Learners: Take the What I Know pretest first to check what you already know. Then work through the activities in order and finish with the Assessment. Write all answers on a separate sheet, not on the module. Answer keys for both lessons are at the end, and the module asks you to use them honestly.
- Parents and guardians: Some activities use hot water, and one uses an alcohol lamp or candle. The module asks that an adult be present for these. Kitchen items such as sugar, cups, spoons, and measuring cups can replace laboratory tools.
- Teachers: The What’s More, What I Have Learned, and What I Can Do parts can be checked as outputs. These include classifying solutions from solubility data and writing a poem about supersaturated solutions. Learners with difficulties are told to ask their teacher or facilitator.
Frequently asked questions
What grade and quarter is this module for?
It is for Grade 7 Science, Quarter 1. It is Module 4, titled I Have Less, She Has Ample, He Has More, Let Us See What’s In Store!
What is the difference between a saturated and an unsaturated solution?
A saturated solution holds the maximum amount of solute the solvent can dissolve, so extra solid stays at the bottom. An unsaturated solution holds less than that maximum, so more solute can still dissolve.
What is a supersaturated solution?
It is a solution that holds more solute than its solubility at a given volume and temperature. It is usually made by heating a solution, dissolving extra solute, and cooling it carefully. It is unstable, and a slight shake makes the extra solute come out as crystals.
Does the module have an answer key?
Yes. The end of the module has answer keys for the What I Know pretest and the Assessment of both Lesson 1 and Lesson 2.
What materials are needed for the activities?
Mostly kitchen items: sugar, table salt, water, cups or beakers, spoons, measuring cups, and a thermometer. The Lesson 2 activity also uses an alcohol lamp or candle with a tripod and wire gauze, which should be used with an adult present.

Lesson 1: SATURATED and UNSATURATED SOLUTION
[illustration: hand pressing a button]
What I Need to Know
In Module 2, you found out that a solution is formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent to form a single phase that appears uniform throughout. A solution is clear and the particles are too small that they cannot be seen by the unaided eye. The particles in solution are smaller than the pores of the filter paper or the cheesecloth and so these can pass through the filter.
In Module 3, you will find out how much solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent and find out the type of solution based on whether there is excess solute or not.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
- describe saturated and unsaturated solution;
- determine how much solid solute dissolves in each volume of water; and
- describe the appearance of a saturated solution.

In the process of mixing, you have observed that these mixtures either form homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures. You have seen that when all parts of the mixture have the same uniform appearance and properties, it is homogeneous.
Look at the given substances below and guess where each of the substances belongs. Answer the table below by putting a check inside the table 1 if it is homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.

- As you observe each product was described in terms of color and appearance, odor, feel, taste, and number of phases
- Which of these products are solutions?
What’s New
Activity 3: What is the Evidence that a Solution is saturated?
Perform the activity below
Materials Needed
- 6 teaspoons sugar
- 1 cup of water
- 1 measuring cup (1cup capacity)
- 1 measuring spoon (½ tsp capacity)
- 2 small clear, transparent bottle
- 2 stirrers /spoon
- 1 thermometer
CAUTION: Use carefully the following laboratory instruments/kitchen materials to avoid damage and accident during the conduct of activity.
Procedure:
Put 20 mL (approximately 2 tablespoons) of water in a small clear transparent bottle. Add ½ teaspoon of sugar and stir.
Q1. What is the appearance of the solutions? Write your observations.
To the sugar solution in step #1, add ½ teaspoon sugar, a small portion at a time and stir the solution to dissolve the sugar. At this point, you have added 1 teaspoon sugar.
Add ½ teaspoon of sugar to the sugar solution in step #2 and stir the solution. At this point, you have added one and ½ teaspoons of sugar.
Continue adding ½ teaspoon sugar to the same cup until the added sugar no longer dissolves.
Q2. How many teaspoons of sugar have you added until the sugar no longer dissolves? _____ Teaspoons
Note: In this step, you will observe that there is already excess sugar which did not dissolve.
Q3. So, how many teaspoons of sugar dissolved completely in 20 mL of water? _____ Teaspoons
Note: This is now the maximum amount of sugar that will completely dissolve in 20 mL of water.
What is It
The substances that make up a homogeneous solution are called components of the solution. These components are called solvent and a solute. What is solvent? What is solute?
Solvent it is a component of a solution which dissolves the other component in itself. It institutes the larger component of the solution. For example, water is a solvent that dissolves solid substance like sugar.
Solute it is the component of the solution which dissolves in the solvent. It has the lesser component of the solution. For example, sugar is a solute that dissolves in water.
In Activity 3, you observed that the appearance of solution containing less amount of solute (sugar) was clear or transparent. When sugar is dissolved in water, the particles of sugar gets between the spaces of the particles of water and creates a single phase of solution. However, when you slowly add more amount of sugar into a solution and stir it, you will observe that the solution reaches already the point at which it cannot dissolve more solute and the sugar you add sinks to the bottom in solid form.
You have observed that there is a maximum amount of solute like sugar that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent like water at a certain temperature. The process took place between sugar and water is called the solubility of the solute.
The solution that contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved by a given amount of solvent is called a saturated solution. The presence of an excess solid which can no longer dissolve is evidence that the solution is saturated. A solution is unsaturated when it contains less solute than the maximum amount it can dissolve at a given temperature.
Guide Question:
- What is the difference between the Unsaturated and saturated solutions?
- How do you know a solution is saturated?
- What happens when a solution becomes saturated?
- How many grams or teaspoons of sugar dissolved in 20 ml of water to form saturated solution?
What’s More

Note: The 35 grams of table salt will form saturated solution in 100 ml of water.
| Amount of Table salt in grams (g) | Amount of water in milliliter ( ml) |
|---|---|
| 1. 20 | 100 |
| 2. 35 | 100 |
| 3. 70 | 100 |

Activity 3: Making Supersaturated Solution
Materials Needed
- Sugar
- Water
- Beaker (250 mL) /Plastic cups
- Stirring Rod/Spoon
- Alcohol lamp/Candle
- Tripod/Any supporting cooking material
- Wire gauze/Screen ( 15 cm²)
- Match stick
CAUTION: Use carefully the following laboratory instruments/kitchen materials to avoid damage and accident during the conduct of activity. Be careful in doing the activity especially if fire is involved. Make sure the presence of any adult companions while doing this activity.
Procedures:
- GET YOUR SAFETY GOOGLES AND APRONS ON!
- Prepare a 250 ml beaker and stirring rod.
- Fill the beaker with 100 ml of tap water.
- Slowly add 100 grams of sugar to 100 mL water and stir it.
Q1. Observe and describe what happens to the solution. - Next, add another 100 grams of sugar to the sugar solution in step # 4.
Q2. Do the particles of sugar still dissolved in water? - Heat your solution of at least 80 ⁰C and continue adding 100 grams to the same sugar into your solution.
Q3. This time, what had you observed from the solution?
Q4. Be specific about the particles, did they still dissolve in water? Did the water change in color? - Stop boiling your solution. Add another 60 grams of sugar. Stir and observe what will happen?
Q5. Describe your solution.
Q6. What do you call the solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution does? - Let your substance cool down its temperature up to 25 ⁰C
Q7. What have you observed?
Q8. Are crystals formed in your solution after cooling it?
What is It
When you add more amount of solute in a solution and then you will observe some particles are left at the bottom of the solution, at this point the solution is saturated. It is a solution in which the amount of solute is equal to the solute’s solubility at a given volume and temperature.
During heating of solution, you continue added solute in a solution and it still dissolved. At this portion the solution is saturated at a higher temperature. Allowing the solution to cool down at normal temperature and no solute crystallizes, the solution is Supersaturated Solution. It is a solution in which the amount of solute is greater than the solute’s solubility at a given volume and temperature. This state is unstable, which by slight agitation causes precipitation. In this process, some of the solute will come out of the solution. Once precipitation occurs, the end result is a saturated solution.
[chart: diagram; Solubility]
| Solubility | Label | Caption |
|---|---|---|
| UNSATURATED SOLUTION | more solute dissolves | |
| SATURATED SOLUTION | no more solute dissolves | |
| SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION | becomes unstable, crystals form | |
