IV. LEARNING PHASES Learning Activities
Timeframe
A. Introduction Day 1 You have learned in your previous lesson how magnet works, its parts and the
Panimula magnetic force exerted by it. You also identified the materials that magnets
attract and the poles on the end part of a magnet.
Have you ever seen a lightning flashed in the sky? Have you ever heard a
thunder? Which do you think travels faster, the light or the sound?

Read the statement below:

Light travels faster than sound. As you observed during stormy
weather, you see a flash of light in the sky accompanied by a thunder.
Lightning is an electrical discharge caused by imbalances between storm
clouds and the ground, or within the clouds themselves.
Light, heat and sound travel in different ways. Many scientists have
been studying the nature of light. Some say that light behaves like a wave.
Other scientists say that light behaves like a group of particles. Light always
travels in a straight line when going through a single medium, any substance
through which a light wave can travel. On the other hand, sound waves travel
at different speeds through different media. As it travels, a sound wave is
created in response to a vibration and how easily they move back to their
original position. Another cause is how strongly the particles are attached or
attracted to each other. In this lesson, you will describe how light, sound and
heat travel. Heat travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. The
transfer of heat through solid materials is called conduction. Convection is the
transfer of heat from one place to another by movement in fluids. Heat can
also be transmitted across empty space or vacuum. This is called radiation.
Radiation does not depend on the presence of matter to transfer heat.
Radiant energy travels as waves through space.
B. Development Day 2-3 The activity that you are going to perform will help you describe how
Pagpapaunlad light, sound and heat travel.
Learning Task 1. Prepare the materials listed below. You may ask the help of
your parents/guardians or any adult members of the family if needed.
Title: “How does light travel”?”
Materials:
Flashlight loaded with battery
3 pieces of illustration boards(1/8 size, with 2” diameter in the middle
1 piece of thick cardboard
Observation sheet

Procedures:
1. Get a flashlight and focus it at a distant wall or at the ceiling. Observe
the path of light. Record your observations in your notebook.

2. Ask one of the members of your family to block the path coming from
the flashlight with a thick cardboard. Record your observation.
3. Get the three illustration boards. Make at least 2” diameter hole each
on the middle of the cardboards.
4. Ask three of the members of your family to hold each of the
cardboards with hole. Ask them to stand at least 1 ft away from each
other, but the holes in the cardboard should be aligned in such a way
that the wall could be seen through the holes.
5. Focus the flashlight through the first hole. Observe what happens.
Record your observations.
6. Ask the member of your family in the middle to misalign the
cardboard he/she is holding. Keep the light aimed at the
cardboards. Observe what happens.
Questions:
1. Did the light form a straight line when you focused it on the wall or
ceiling without blockage?
2. When you blocked the light with a thick cardboard, was it able to pass
through it? Explain your answer.
3. When you aligned the cardboards with holes, was the light able to
pass through it? Explain your answer.
4. When one of the cardboards was not aligned with the other
cardboards, was the light able to pass through the other cardboards?
Why is this so?
5. What can you say about the way light travels?
C. Engagement Day 4-6 Learning Task 2. Perform the activity.
Pakikipagpalihan Title: “What is Vibration?”
Materials: transparent (clear) plastic ruler
table
Procedure:
1. Get a plastic ruler and press one end to the edge of the table by
holding it down firmly.
2. Push or press down the free end then release it suddenly. Observe
what happens when you release the free end of the ruler. Write your
observations in your notebook.
Hold firmly ruler

Table
Push down
And release

Figure 1 Figure 2
3. Hold the ruler while it is still in motion. Observe what happens. Write
your observation.
4. Repeat #2 and #3 several times (at least 3 times). Observe what
happens. Record all observations.
Questions:
1. What happened to the ruler when you suddenly released it?
2. How do you describe the movement of the ruler?
3. Did you hear a sound?
4. Did the sound coming from the moving ruler suddenly stop when you
held it? When you released it again?
Learning Task 3. Prepare the materials listed below. You may ask the help of
your parents/guardians or any adult members of the family if needed.
Title: “How does sound travel in different materials?”
Materials:
Stick of at least one foot long
 Suggested
IV. LEARNING PHASES Learning Activities
Timeframe
Small pail(bucket) half filled with water
Two pieces of medium sized stone
A table or a chair preferably made of wood or metal
Drum and drumsticks( toys will do)
Big Tin can if drum is not available
Procedures:
1. Find a table or a chair. With the use of a stick, gently tap the table or
the chair. What did you hear? Do this for at least five times with
different strengths of tapping. Try from gentle to hard tap. Observe
the sound you produced with each tap.
2. Tap two medium-sized stone in a pail half filled with water. Be careful
not to spill the water when you tap the stones. Observe what
happens when the stones hit each other. Do you hear a sound? Do
this for at least five times.
3. Do this third task in an open area with a partner (other member of
your family). Let your partner stay at least 10 meters away from you.
Strike a drum with drumsticks. Can both of you hear the sound the
drum made? Strike the drum with different strength, Try it from a
gentle tap to a hard tap. Take note of the sound that is produced.
Questions:
1. Did you hear a sound when you tapped the table or the chair with a
stick? What happened to the sound when you tapped the table with
different strengths?
2. Were you able to produce sound underwater when you struck/hit two
stones together?
3. Were you able to hear the sound you produced underwater?
4. Did the sound coming from the drum reach the person away from it?
5. What could you infer from this activity?
Learning Task 4. Prepare the materials listed below. You may ask the help of
your parents/guardians of any adult members of the family if needed.
Title: “How is heat transferred?”
Materials:
SET A SET B
