Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Science 6 Module 12 on the Electrical Energy to Sound Energy!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Schools Division
Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the Local
Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma.
Regis N. Sotto.
The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

Welcome to the Science 6 Self-Learning Module on Electrical Energy to

Sound Energy!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

energy;
2. explain energy transformation from electrical energy to sound
energy; and
3. initiate energy conservation by saving electrical energy at home.

PRETEST
Directions: Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the letter of your
answer on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Which of the following statements is true about electrical energy and

sound energy?
A. Electrical energy can build sound energy.
B. Electrical energy can destroy sound energy.
C. Electrical energy can compete with the sound energy.
D. Electrical energy can be transformed to sound energy.

2. What energy transformation is happening when you plug in the radio

to the electrical outlet and the music starts to play?
A. Electrical energy to sound energy
B. Sound energy to electrical energy
C. Sound energy to electrical energy to sound energy
D. Electrical energy to sound energy to electrical energy

3. Which of the following examples shows how electrical energy is

transformed to sound energy?

B. Plug in the oven to the electrical outlet and turn it on.
C. Plug in the wall fan to the electrical outlet and turn it on.
D. Plug in the ring light to the electrical outlet and turn it on.
 4. When you plug in the radio to the electrical outlet, the electricity flows
back and forth in the cables. The electromagnet either attracts or repels
the permanent magnet. This moves the coil back and forward, pulling
and pushing the loudspeaker cone. The moving cone pumps sound out
into the air. What energy transformation explains this?
A. Electrical energy to sound energy
B. Electrical energy to nuclear energy
C. Electrical energy to thermal energy
D. Electrical energy to mechanical energy

5. By conserving electrical energy, our electric bill will be lower. What

advice will help us save electrical energy?
A. Leave the TV on.
B. Use air conditioning every day.
C. Turn on the lights day and night.
D. Unplugged appliances not in use.

RECAP
In the previous lesson you learned that there are different forms of
energy. Can you still recall the different forms of energy? Complete the chart.
Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
 It is nice to know that you can still remember that lesson. The different
forms of energy are (1) mechanical energy, (2) chemical energy, (3) radiant/
light energy, (4) electrical energy, (5) sound energy, (6) thermal energy, and
(7) nuclear energy.

LESSON

“Mahal namin ang Lungsod Pasig; Pook na aming tahanan.”

How many times have you heard or sang the “Martsa ng Pasig” in
school assemblies?

You would not hear music at all if not for loudspeakers or electric
sound-making devices. Radios, televisions, computers, cellular phones,
intercoms, and talking toys are just some of the electric gadgets that produce
sound through loudspeakers. But what exactly are loudspeakers and how do
they work?
 This is how a loudspeaker works. When a fluctuating electric current
flows through the coil (orange), it becomes a temporary electromagnet,
attracted and repelled by the permanent magnet (blue/red). As the coil
moves, it moves the cone (gray) back and forth, pumping sound waves into
the air (light blue).
When things shake about or vibrate, they make the sounds we can hear
in the world around us. Sound is invisible most of the time, but sometimes
you can actually see it! If you thump a kettle-drum with a stick, you can see
the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time
afterward—pumping sound waves into the air. Loudspeakers work in a
similar way.

At the front of a loudspeaker, there is a fabric, plastic, paper, or

lightweight metal cone (sometimes called a diaphragm) not unlike a drum
skin (colored gray in our picture). The outer part of the cone is fastened to
the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. The inner part is fixed
to an iron coil (sometimes called the voice coil, colored orange in the
diagram) that sits just in front of a permanent magnet (sometimes called the
field magnet, and colored yellow). When you hook up the loudspeaker to a
stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables (red) into the coil.
This turns the coil into a temporary magnet or electromagnet. As the
electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either attracts
or repels the permanent magnet. This moves the coil back and forward,
pulling and pushing the loudspeaker cone. Like a drum skin vibrating back
and forth, the moving cone pumps sound out into the air.

VALUING
After studying your lessons and helping in the household chores, you
spend your free time watching television with your siblings. When you are
watching, your younger brother is always adjusting the volume to its
maximum level.
 In this lesson, you learned that by doing that you are consuming a lot
of energy and producing noise pollution. What do you think should you do?
What will you tell your brother? What should you do to conserve energy and
lessen the noise pollution?

After watching, you turned off the tv without unplugging it.

In this lesson you learned that plugged appliance still consumes energy
even if it is turned off. What do you think should you do the next time you are
done watching TV or done using any appliances at home? Why?
