D. Teaching Strategy
0 Discovery Learning- The teacher will let the learners discover the concept of
the different models of light.
0 Revolving circles- The teacher will let the learners discuss and brainstorm the concept of the models of light and
they will choose one resource speaker to
discuss with the other groups about the models they have discussed.
0 Discussion Bingo -the teacher will let the learners sharpen their understanding
the different models of light.
0 Advance Organizer- the teacher uses graphic organizers to summarize and
differentiate the different models of light.

E. Key concepts
Corpuscular (or particle) theory of light by Isaac Newton
-stated that light consisted of particles that travelled in straight lines.

Wave theory of light by Christian Huygens

- Huygens argued that if light were made of particles, when light beams crossed, the particles would collide and cancel each other. He
proposed that light was a wave.

Electromagnetic theory of light by James Clerk Maxwell

-combined electricity, magnetism,and light.

Quantum theory of light

-combines the two major theories of light, suggesting that light does not always behave as a particle and light does not always behave
as a wave.

F. Process skills:
0 Comprehend
0 Differentiate
0 Explain
0 Apply

G. Values Integrations
 The learners will realize the importance of light and
 The learners will gain basic knowledge in understanding the concept of light.

Presentation of Objectives

This evening, we are going to target the following lesson objectives, I want you to read
the objectives,
1. describe the propagation of light,
2. differentiate the wave model of light
and particle model of light and
3. explain the photon theory of light. Students read the target lesson objectives.
