light as having said by Jelly Ann,
that some came from the sun

something we call source or
sources. Understand, class?
Yes, ma’am.
(The teacher will show a picture

the source of light during the
day, while the stars and moon
are the sources of light at night.
Yes, ma’am.
- So, class, have you ever read or
heard the term Luminous
Objects?
No, ma’am.

- Luminous objects give off light.

The objects that generate their
own light were referred to as
Luminous Objects.
Like the sun, stars and moon, ma’am?
- Yes, class! The sun, stars, and
moon are examples of luminous
objects because they produce
light, which belongs to natural
light.
Why is natural light, ma’am?
(Pupils are thinking)
- Because luminous objects may
be natural or artificial.
(Pupils are listening and thinking)
- Natural light sources are those
 that are created by nature rather
than by humans. Can anyone in
the class provide an example of a
natural source of light that isn't
the sun, stars, or moon?

- Very good! What else?

Lightning, ma’am.

flashlight or any source of light,
do you think the girl can still

- Excellent! We can't see anything

without light, thus it's essential. No ma’am

it’s dark.

There are a lot of uses of light and some

of these are the following:

1. The light coming from the sun

serve as food for the plant.
- What part of the plant is
responsible for absorbing the
nutrients coming from the
sunlight?

- Very good!

- The leaves will absorb the

nutrients coming from the sun to
be distributed to the other part.
Leaves ma’am
2. Traffic lights help control the
flow of traffic on the roads. The
colors of the traffic lights guide
when to stop, slow down, or go.
- What do you think will happen if
there’s no traffic light?

- Very good!

3. Lighthouses guide ships in the

dark. They also warn ships of
danger.
- What do you think will happen if All the vehicles will be crowded and
there are no lighthouses? there will have a lot of accident
happen ma’am

Ships and travelers might lose because
4. Colorful lights are used to they do not know where they are for

- Can you give some colorful lights
that are used for decoration?
They might be in danger because they
won’t be able to see their way.
- Very good!

5. Overhead or LCD projectors are

used to produce images on the
screen. What I am using right
now is called a projector, what
can you see on the screen?
Christmas light ma’am
- You were able to see those
images because of the light
coming from the projector.

- So, keep in mind, class, that the

use of light is critical to our daily
lives. We can't live normally
without light since we can't see
anything without it, so we can't Pictures and words ma’am
survive without it.
D. Generalization
- According to the lesson, what
did we name the natural and
artificial sources of light?

- Very good! How about the

different uses of light?

- Very good! What else?

- As a child, what are some of the Luminous Objects, ma’am

things you can do with light?
It serves as food to the plant ma’am
- Very good! Do you think we can
see each other without light?
It guides us in the dark ma’am

- Can we live without light?

It helps us to see all things clear ma’am

- Why?

We can play, read, and write ma’am

- Very good! The energy light No ma’am

really is essential to us, class. It is
needed in our daily lives
- . I see that you all listened and
actively participated in our
discussion.
No ma’am
Because we cannot live normally
without light, we won’t be able to see
anything without light so we cannot
live without light.
