IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
I. Introduction (Time Frame: Day1)

Electrical gadgets are composed of materials that are classified as conductor or nonconductor of
electricity. Conductors are materials used in the assemble of electrical gadgets where electrons flow. Some
examples of conductors are electrical wire and any metal. Nonconductor is a material which electricity cannot
pass through. Another term for nonconductor is insulator, means a material that is poor conductor (heat or
electricity). Dry rubber and dry wood are the examples of nonconductor.
Electronic devices are equipment used in repair and assemble of parts in a circuit. All of them are powered by
electricity. Awareness and extra care are needed in calibrating gadgets. Extension cords, male plug, conventional
outlet, lampshades and doorbells are some examples of gadgets which commonly used at home and school.
In making or repairing electronic devices such as plug, extension cord, lampshade requires attention and
organization of parts. It also requires familiarity to the appearance and function of tools and gadgets.

Plug
It is the structure at the end of appliance that receives electricity.
A two-prong plugis typically use or ungrounded appliances like lampshade which has less than 15
amperes capacity.

A three-prong plugincludes one round prong, one hot prong and one neutral prong.The round prong
is for grounding and ensuring the hot and neutral prongs are inserted into correct receptacles slots.

Electrical Outlet
Receptacle providing a place I a wiring system where current can be taken to run electrical
devices.

Extension cord
It is also called power extender. It is flexible power cable that can reach long–distance
connections.

Safety and Health Practices

1. Working with gadget connected to electricity, such as electricity, flowing in appliances at home, requires
wearing of safety gloves also known as electrical gloves.
2. Gadgets connected with a capacitor stored energy even not connected to an electrical source. Storing these
types of gadgets away from the reach of children is highly advised. Do not touch or play with electrical devices
that have stored energy for these may cause electrical shock.
3. Before doing your work or repair activities, be sure that you turn off and unplug the device, gadget, or
appliance.
4. Make sure that your workplace is organized and clean. A clean workplace is conducive to learning and
developing skills.
5. Avoid standing on floors that are wet as it may cause you harm. Or accident.
6. Wipe and dry all spillage before starting to work.
7. See to it that all metal accessories on our body are removed before starting to work.
8. Never touch someone else’s work. You may know the condition of our classmate’s work if it is energized or not
Protocol On Repairing Electrical Gadgets
1. Before working electricity, always ask for assistance from your teacher if you are in school or an elderly if you
are at home for proper guidelines.
2. Different gadgets have different specifications. Always use the tools needed for the job according to their
function and purpose.
3. Always use tools that are insulated to prevent shock while working with electricity.
4. Worn out electrical materials should not be used in any connection for they may cause trouble to the gadget
connections.
5. To avoid electrical shock, always use tools that are dry while working with an electrical gadget.
6. Always follow the procedures and specifications in repairing electrical gadgets.
7. Some electrical tool, such as electrical pliers, are sensitive to heat. The insulator of the pliers may be affected
by overexposure to heat.

Repairing Broken Furniture and Other Products

A. Repairing Simple Gadgets

•Worn out wires
1. Remove the plug of the appliance out of the electrical outlet or socket.
2. Cut out the worn out part and scrape the outer covering of both ends by about half an inch.
3. Connect the two lines by twisting them together.
4. Cover the twisted wires with electrical tape.
•Worn out plug
1. Take off the plug out of the cord or cut the wire. Separate the cord and scrape the insulation or covering by
about an inch.
2. Open the new plug.
3. Twist the wire in a clockwise direction and secure it with a screw. Replace the insulating disk

B. Repairing furniture and furnishings

Here is another basic furniture repair that can be undertaken at home and in school:
How to loosen sticking drawers or cabinets
