b. Perform the task based on the steps being discussed;
c. Follow the steps in identifying the different terminals of the transistor correctly.

II. Subject Matter

A. Topic: Transistor
B. Sub-Topic: Identifying Transistor Leads
C. Materials: Marker, Manila paper, Set of Transistors, Enlarged Transistor
D. Reference: Practical Electronics Solid State Servicingpp.98-99

III. Procedure
A. Preparation
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

Good Afternoon, Class! Good Afternoon, Ma’am.

Checking of attendance.

B. Motivation

So before we start the discussion for today, I

will group you first into four.

Upon doing the activity, we must be Safety Precautions:

jar has one component. Every group will
assign a member to identify the component
inside by merely touching it. After knowing
the component, he will write the answer on
a piece of paper and pass it backward until it
reaches the last member. The last member
will be the one to write the final answer on
the given mini board and raise it
immediately as they finish answering. RUBRIC:

Do you know the steps? No, Ma’am.

That is what we are going to learn today.

How about the fifth step? 5. Do the reverse bias.

Why do we need to perform reverse bias? To determine the collector and emitter.

then the chosen terminal is the COLLECTOR.

Did you understand class? Yes Ma’am.

UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULTIES:

 Transistor- a semiconductor device used to

amplify or switch electronic signals and
electrical power.
 Base- controls the collector and emitter;
acts as a flood gate and accepts only a tiny
amount of current.
 Emitter- releases the current you want to
control.
 Collector- collects the current you want to
 control.

E. Application

F. Generalization

in the activity, who can tell me in their own Student response.

Very well said, Charity.

Do you think it is important for us to follow Yes. To identify correctly the different terminal
correctly the steps in identifying the leads and for us to perform the right
terminals of the transistor? connections in a circuit later on.
Why?

Very good!

In what situation in life can you apply your We can apply our knowledge in identifying the
knowledge in identifying the collector, base collector, base and emitter when we choose
and emitter of transistor? electronics as our field of specialization in the
future when we enter college. Just for example,
in assembling certain devices. We can use our
knowledge for securing right connections of the
circuit.
Yes. Please give Jake three big claps.
IV. Evaluation:
The teacher will present infront the Steps in Identifying Transistor Leads. The steps are not set
according to its order. The students will number the steps from the first one up to the last step
to arrange the said steps.

V. Assignment

A. Follow up:
Draw an enlarge transistor and illustrate the deflections of the multitester depending on the
terminals of the component.

B. Advance:
1. What are the types of Field Effect Transistor?
2. How do they differ?
