2. perform activities involving charging processes
3. cite real-life application of different charging processes

For you to acquire the competency and perform the given subtasks, you are going to
perform the activities on the following inquiry stages:
1. Engage Card: 4 Pics 1 Word Using Word Wall
2. Explore Card: TO CHARGE OR NOT TO CHARGE & PASS THE CHARGE
3. Explain Card: Making Sense
4. Elaborate Card: Concept Application – WHERE I BELONG
5. Evaluate: Complete Me!
6. Extend: AM I POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE

This is a one-hour inquiry lesson. Do your best and have fun!

TO CHARGE OR NOT TO CHARGE & PASS THE CHARGE

Perform the following procedure to complete the observation table.

Objective:
  Apply the phenomenon of polarization and grounding to charge a
material by induction.
 Charge a material by conduction

I. Materials Needed
 2 Styrofoam cup
 2 Soft drinks can
 balloon
II. Procedures

Procedure 1
1. Mount the soft drink can on the Styrofoam cup as seen in figure 4.
2. Charge the balloon by rubbing it off your hair or your classmate’s Figure 4. Mounting of
hair. Note: this will work only if the hair is completely dry. soft drink can

3. Place the charged balloon as near as possible to the soft drink can without the two
objects touching.
4. Touch the can with your finger at the end opposite the balloon.
5. Remove your hand and observe how the balloon and the can will
interact.

Procedure 2
1. Repeat all steps in procedure 1
2. Let the charged can-cup set-up from procedure 3 touch a
neutral can-cup set-up as shown in figure 7.
3. Separate the two set-ups then observe how the charged
balloon interacts with the first and second set-up.
4. Illustrate the charges and complete the data table.

 Electric Charges and
the Charging Process

THE BIG IDEA

The Bohr Model of an atom displaying the electron orbiting the nucleus of neutron and proton. Every atom is
made up of negatively charged (-e) electrons surrounding a positively charged nucleus. THE NUCLEUS
CONTAINS Protons which are positively charge(+e) while neutrons which are neutral meaning there is zero net
electric charge.

 An electrical charge is developed when an atom gains or loses electrons. An electrical charge is created
when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object.

 When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged; while an atom that gains electrons
becomes negatively charged.

 According to “The law of Conservation of Charge”; charges cannot be created nor destroyed but can be
transferred from one material to another.

TRIBOELECTRIC SERIES. It is an arrangement of material/

substance giving their ability to gain or lose electrons.

Three types of charging process

1. friction
2. Induction
3. Conduction
