B. Review

Last time, we discussed the different

kinds of materials where light behaves. Before
we proceed with our discussion today, let us Yes, we are!
have a short review of our previous lesson. Are
you ready? They are called transparent materials!
What do you call to the materials that
allow almost all the light to pass through it?
They are called translucent materials!
What do you call to the materials that
only allow some light to pass through it?
They are called opaque materials!
What do you call to the materials that
block the light to pass through it?
 Very good! I have here different Yes, we are!
materials and I want you to identify them as
transparent, translucent, or opaque. Are your
ready? ( The pupils will identify whether each of the
objects flashed is transparent, translucent,

objects)
None, Sir!
That’s great! Is there any question
regarding your previous lesson?

C. Motivation
Yes, Sir! That’s a guitar!
Children, do you know this musical
instrument?
Guitar can produce sounds!
You are right! This is a guitar. What
does it can produce? We need strum or brush our fingers on its
strings.
What shall we need to do with this
guitar for it to produce sounds? (Chosen pupils will strum the string s of the
guitar.)
Can you strum it?
Yes, Sir!
Do you know the song, Jopay?
Yes, we are!
I will strum the strings with the tune of
Jopay and you will sing with me with a twist.
Are you ready?

Table 1, can you identify the sound Yes, Sir. It’s meow-meow-meow.
produced by a cat? That’s the sound that you are
going to use instead of singing the song using
its original lyrics of the song, Jopay.

Table 2, can you identify the sound Yes, Sir. It’s wang-wang-wang.
produced by a ambulance? That’s the sound that
you are going to use instead of singing the song
using its original lyrics of the song, Jopay.
Yes, Sir. It’s broom-broom-broom.
Table 3, can you identify the sound
produced by a motorcycle? That’s the sound
that you are going to use instead of singing the
song using its original lyrics of the song, Jopay.
Yes, Sir. It’s tweet-tweet-tweet.

Table 1,2,3 can you identify the sound produced

by a bird? That’s the sound that you are going
to use instead of singing the song using its
original lyrics of the song, Jopay. (The pupils will touch their neck while singing.)

Children when you sing, please touch

your neck and feel it. Our neck vibrates when we are making sounds.

Very good, children! What did you feel

with your neck when you are making sounds?

D. Presentation of the Lesson Sound is produced through vibration.

How is sound produced?

That’s great! Sound is only produced Force makes something to vibrate.

materials. What causes something to vibrate?
Sound travels from one material to our ears
Good! Is sound also a form of energy?
through waves. They are called sound waves.
Very good! How does the sound travel
from one material to your ears? Sound waves can travel through different media
such as solid, liquid, or gas.
You are great! Sound waves are
produced when someone vibrates. And these
waves need a medium to travel. In what media
can sound travel?
Particles on solid are very closed to one

Particles in liquid are slightly far or loose.
Very good! Sound waves need a Particles in gas are very far from one another

They can travel either through solids, liquids, or
even in gases. Can you identify the particles in Yes, we are ready!
these media? (The pupils will play the game while observing
their distances form their comembers as if they

the sound waves travel in different media, we
will be playing a simple game called ‘Pass the
Message”. I will be grouping into 3 with 5
members. Each member will be portraying as if
they are particles of matter. The group that will
send me the right message correctly, wins a
point. The group that will get the first 3 points
wins the game. Are you ready?
The distances of the group members who won
the game are too closed with one another that’s
why they easily pass the message to the last.
What are the reasons why did you win the
game?
Sound waves travel the fastest in solids.
Very good! The closer the particles
 are to one another, the faster the message can be Sound waves travel the slowest in gases.
sent to the last particle. Therefore, where do
soundwaves travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel slower in liquid than solid
In what medium do soundwaves but travel faster than gas.
travel the slowest?

How do soundwaves travel in

liquids? ( The pupils will watch a video.)

Very good! For you to better
understand the speed of the sound in different
media, let’s us watch this video.
Why do soundwaves travel the
fastest in solids?
They travel the fastest in solids because the
particles are very closed to one another.
They travel the slowest in gases because the
particles are very far from one another.

Why do soundwaves travel the

slowest in gases? Sound is produced when a body vibrates, and it
travels through waves.
F. Generalization
They travel the fastest in solids.
Again, how is sound produced and
how does it travel?
They travel the fastest in solids because the
particles are very closed to one another.
What form of matter does the sound
travel the fastest? They travel the slowest in gases.
Why do soundwaves travel the fastest
in solids? They travel the slowest in gases because the
particles are very far from one another.
What form of matter does the sound
travel the slowest?

Why do soundwaves travel the

slowest in gases?

G. Application
(The pupils will vary in answer.)
Sounds can be slow, fast, soft, or
loud. When and where do we need to make our
sounds loud and soft?

Explain the road sign, “No

Blowing of Horn”.

Imagine life without sounds. Will

it be happy?

IV. Evaluation ( Differentiated Activities)

Group 1
Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is not.
_______________1. The sound is only produced when something vibrates.
_______________2. Force does not cause something to make sounds.
_______________3. Particles of solids are close to each other that allows the sound waves to travel
through it the slowest.
_______________4. Sound waves travel the slowest in gases.
_______________5. Sound is a form of energy.
Group 2
Draw a happy face ☺ if the statement is correct. If not, change the underlined word/s to make the
statement correct. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
__________1. Sound wave causes the vibration of the surrounding air.
__________2. Sound is produced through radiation.
__________3. Vibrating objects send out sound waves that travel in all directions.
__________4. Sound waves travel very fast through solid.
__________5. Sound waves travel a little faster through water than in air.
V. Assignment
Draw 5 objects that produce loud sounds and 5 objects that produce soft sounds.
