III. Procedures Facilitator’s Activity Learners’

Activity

A. Reviewing previous
lesson or presenting the
new lesson
“Good morning class!”
▪ Preliminaries

“Let us formally start with a prayer. May I “Good morning, sir”

▪ Prayer request someone to please lead the prayer?
one for a Christian prayer, and another one for
a Muslim prayer.” “Our Father..”

▪ Greetings “Good morning once again. How’s your day? I

hope we all feel great today.

▪ Attendance checking May I know who’s absent today?

I’m glad that nobody’s absent.

Since no one is absent today, I would like to

emphasize that your attendance every day is
very important, so that you won’t miss our
lessons.
“No one is absent
sir”

So class, before we go through our lesson

proper, I just want you to be reminded of our 3
major classroom policies.

1. Always listen to instructions.

Because I don’t want to hear anybody asking
▪ Reading of the for another repetition of instructions.
2. Participate.
House Rules
Do not do anything unnecessary or not related
to our subject.
3. Respect one another.

Is that clear?

Good.
 “Okay for now, let’s have some short recap of
our discussion from our last meeting.

Anyone from the class who could still recall

what was our lesson last meeting?

May I request ____ to give his brief ideas”

▪ Reviewing of the
previous lesson
“Thank you ____, you are right. Last time, we
discussed about the essentials of 5’s in SMAW”

“Yes sir!”

“May I ask _____ to give some of 5’s?” “Thank

you ____.”

“ I guess everyone did learned from our

previous class, very good”

(student raises their

hands)

“I will give you an activity. This activity titled:4 “5’s in SMAW, Sir”
pics 1 word”

Teacher: You'll have to guess what picture I'll

show you." “5S is defined as a
methodology that
results in a
workplace that is
So class are you ready?”
clean, uncluttered,
safe, and well
organized to help
“Let’s start now!” reduce waste and
optimize
 productivity.”
▪ Motivation

“Seiketsu-
Standardize, Seiton-
Orderliness, Sir”

Answer: (Striking an arc)

“From the activity that we did, what do you think

is our lesson for today?

Teacher: CORRECT!

“Very good, Let’s give a round of applause for

everyone.

“Yes sir”

(students
answering)

Student: “Arc, Sir”

Student: “Strike,
Sir”
 Students “Striking
an arc, Sir”

(Students: Clapping
their hands)

B. Establishing a purpose for

the lesson
At the end of the session, the learners should be
● Reading of the able to:
objectives
- Identify the different methods in striking
the arc
- Understand the process of striking an arc
- Appreciate the importance of striking an
arc

For today's activity I want you to choose your

partner and sit with your partner.
ACTIVITY

“Okay, Sir”
and your task here class is to simply define
scratching and tapping and draw a simple
illustration that shows scratching and tapping.

you will be scored depending on your definition

and illustration about scratching and tapping 5
points will be the highest score for the definition
and illustration.
(Student working)

will give you 10 mins to finish the activity, and

your time starts now.
 (Student
presenting)

ABSTRACTION
(start the class)

“Let me introduce to you the Striking an arc.”

Striking an arc means to establish a welding

current across a gap between the welding
electrode and the base metal. 1. Welding training
programs may offer instruction in how to strike
the arc in different types of welding methods,
including TIG welding. “Yes, Sir”

“Are you ready to know the different type of fillet

weld symbol?”

Methods in Striking an Arc

A. Scratching Method - Is easier for

beginners and when using an AC
machine. The electrode is moved across
the plate inclined at an angle as you
would strike a match. as the electrode
scratches the plate and arc is struck when
the arc has formed, withdraw the
electrode momentarily to form an
excessively long arc, then return to
normal arc length
 B. Tapping Method - is done by moving the
electrode down to the base metal in a
vertical direction. as soon as it touches
the metal it is drawn momentarily to
form an excessively long arc, then
returned to normal arc length.

The difficulty encountered in striking the arc

A. Freezing or when the electrode sticks or

fuses to the work. this is caused by the
current melting the tip of the electrode
and sticking it to the cold base metal
before it is withdrawn from contact.

a. Solution - giving the electrode

holder a quick snap backward
from the direction of travel will
generally free the electrode. it if
does not, it will be necessary to
open the circuit by releasing the
 electrode from the holder.

Tips in striking an arc

1. brush your work free of dirt and scale

before you strike an arc.

2. maintain a proper arc length which is

about the electrode diameter to produce
a stable arc. “None so far, sir”

Effect of a shortened arc length

- the molten metal transferring across the

gap may short out the electrode causing
it to stick to the plate.

Effect of long Arc Length

- it produces more spatter

- the arc stops

Reminders: never remove your face shield from

your face if the electrode is frozen. free the
electrode with the shield in front of your eyes, as
it will “flash” when it comes loose.

“Now class, let’s demonstrate the scratching and

APPLICATION tapping, also to define the different distances
“Students: going to
between the base metal and its result”
laboratory area”

Are you ready class?

“Yes, Sir”
“I will give you 10 minutes to demonstrate and
analyze the activity.”
(Student working)

ANALYSIS “Do you see the significance of our activity? “Yes sir”
 “Was it difficult or easy? Why? “okay ra biya sir”

“Do you believe that you can work in industry if “No sir”
you don’t know the striking an arc? Why?”

“Do you think it’s necessary to study striking an

“Yes sir! so we'll
arc and their functions? Why?”
know what they're
for and where we
should utilize them”

(Q and A will be expounded from the responses

of the learners)

“Let’s have a quiz”

IV. EVALUATION
1.what method in striking an arc is recommended
for beginners?

2.What are the results of long arc length?

3. In welding welder should use safety ____ to

protect its eyes.

4. It is done by touching the electrode to the base

metal like scratching a match.

5. It is done by moving the electrode downward Student

until it steps to the base metal then bringing the
electrode up slightly to form an arc. (Answering)

V. REMARKS Teacher:

Your assignment will be a research on the factors on selecting an

electrode

Is my instruction clear?

Do you have any questions regarding our assignment today?

 None?

If none, then thank you so much for coming.

Let’s call this a day. Goodbye, everyone.
