2. Avoid unnecessary noise while performing the activity.
3. Keep your working area in order.

D. Analysis
Each representative will present the group’s output in front of the class.
Do all objects absorb heat by radiation equally? Why or why not?

How is radiation different from conduction and convection?

F. Abstraction
1. What is radiation?
2. Why some objects are better at emitting absorbing radiation than
others?

E. Application
It is a part of the Filipino culture to wear black during the period of
mourning as a sign of grief and respect for the departed member.
Supposing you are the eldest daughter or son in the family. One of your younger
sisters asks your permission to wear colored dresses even during mourning
because wearing black makes her feel warm and sick. As the eldest child, what
will you do?
A. Approve her request?
B. Stick to the practice of wearing black-colored clothes while in mourning.
C. Approve her request but explain to the family the reason for approving
her request.
IV. Assessment
Directions: Read and understand the questions carefully. Write your answer on
a separate sheet of paper.
1. What mode of heat transfer does not need particles or a medium to take place?
A. Conduction C. Heat
B. Convection D. Radiation
2. Which of the following is the case of heat transfer by radiation?
A. Blast furnace C. Cooling of parts in furnace
B. Heating of building D. Heat received by a person from fireplace.
3. Which of the following is NOT an example of radiation?
A. Sun’s rays C. Stir frying in a pan.
B. Heat from a fire D. Cooking in microwave oven
4. You are holding an ice cream while walking on the street, and you noticed your ice cream is
starting to melt. What type of heat transfer is this?
A. conduction C. isolation
B. convection D. radiation
5. You wake up on a Saturday morning and are glad since you don’t have to go to school. You sit
outside in the sun because you don’t really feel like doing anything at all. The heat from the sun
is starting to make you sweat. Is the heat transfer caused by radiation?
A. Yes, because radiation is transfer of heat by means of rays.
B. Yes because radiation is the transfer of heat by direct contact.
C. No because radiation is the transfer of heat by direct contact.
D. No because radiation is the transfer of heat through fluid and gases.

V. Assignment:
Answer the following questions:
1. What are the basic parts of the thermos bottle?
2. From what materials are they made of? Explain why such materials are used for each
part.
2. How are the methods of heat transfer affected by each material?

Activity 4: Keep it Cold

Introduction
One hot sunny day, Michael and Tyrone walked into a tea shop, and each asked for an
order of iced milk tea for takeout. The crew told them as part of their promo, their customers
can choose the color of the tumbler they want to use, pointing to the array of containers
made of the same material but are of different colors and textures. Tyrone favored the
container with a dull black surface, saying that the milk tea will stay cooler if it is placed in a
black container. Michael remarked that the tea would stay even cooler if it is in a container
with bright shiny surface.

Prediction:
1. If you were in their situation, which container do you think will keep the iced milk tea
cooler longer? Explain your choice.
2. Assuming an initial temperature of 5°C, predict the possible temperatures of the milk
tea in each container after 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes. Assume that the containers are
covered.

Answer the questions below:

•What problem are you going to solve? (Testable Question)

_____________________________________________________________________________
•What are you going to vary? (Independent variable)
_____________________________________________________________________________
•What are you not going to vary? (Controlled Variables)
_____________________________________________________________________________
•What are you going to measure? (Dependent variables)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Materials:
200mL ice cold water
1 black container
1 white container
2 thermometers

Procedure:
1. Put 100 mL of ice-cold water in each container. Measure the initial temperature of the
water and record it on the data table below.
2. Measure the temperatures of the water in each container every 5 minutes and record the
data on the table below.

Data Table:

3. Analyze your data and answer the following questions:

A. If you were in their situation, in which container do you think will keep the iced milk tea
cooler longer? Explain your answer.
B. Which container warmed up faster?
C. Which container absorbs heat faster?
D. Which container will keep the milk tea cooler longer? Is your prediction correct?
E. Will the same container also keeps a hot coffee warmer longer than the other?
Radiation refers to the emission of electromagnetic waves which carry energy away from the
surface of the emitting body or object. In this process, no particles are involved,
unlike in the processes of conduction and convection. This is why radiation can
take place even in vacuum.
All objects emit and absorb radiation, known as thermal or infrared radiation. The amount of
radiation emitted depends on the temperature of the emitting object. The hotter
an object is, the more infrared radiation it emits.
Heat transfer by radiation takes place between objects of different temperatures, when the
hotter object emits more energy than it absorbs from the cooler object and the
cooler object receives more energy than it emits.

Testable Question: Which container will keep the temperature of the cold milk tea longer?

Independent variable: The surface of the container (dull and black surface or bright and shiny
surface).

Controlled Variables: The amount of the liquid, the amount of light entering the container
(degree of exposure)

Dependent variables: The temperature of the liquid inside the container at equal intervals of
time
