1. ELICIT (5 mins) Materials
The teacher will do the preliminary activities: (3 minutes) • Laptop/
• Initiate a prayer Smartphone
• Greet the class a good morning/good afternoon • Internet

To assess the students’ prior knowledge, the ff questions will be

asked: (7 minutes)
Key Questions:
1. What is the previous module all about?
Ans. Motion Graphs and Diagrams
2. Why are graphs and diagrams important?
Ans. It presents information visually and makes it easy to
understand.
3. Do you think that waves have motions too?
Ans. Yes. Waves are created by energy passing through
water, causing it to move in a circular motion.

3. EXPLORE (15 mins)
To allow students to explore more about the topic, the ff activity will • Laptop/
be conducted: Smartphone
• Internet
Activity 2: GoSurf! Connection
Procedure: • Google meet
1. A scenario will be given to the students • PowerPoint
It is a year-end party of your class at Dahican, Mati, Davao Presentation
Oriental. You are watching your classmates surfing with the • Pictures, Videos
giant sea waves on a nipa hut. Suddenly, someone caught
your attention who looks very familiar to you. It was your
ultimate crush, Lee Min Ho. He snatches his surfboard, runs
into the sea, and begins to paddle reaching to a deeper part of
it. At that point, he begins to stand on the surfboard and
appreciate the water waves. You are mesmerized on that
moment and even gave you a brighter mood because of the
sun’s bright rays, relaxing chirping sound of birds, waves
crashing onto the shore.

Key Questions:
1. Can you identify the kinds of waves from your surroundings
in the beach? Why do you think this is an example of a wave?
• Sun rays (visible light, ultraviolet rays [energy that
travels in the form of EM waves])
• Water waves (surface waves)
• Sound from the birds, people, water (longitudinal
waves)

 2. Focusing on the person surfing, what do water waves
transmit?
Energy. Waves are created by energy passing through water,
causing it to move in a circular motion.
3. What happens when the water waves hit the surfing board?
The water moving across the bottom of the board creates
many additional upward forces (called hydrodynamic forces)
that keep the surfer afloat rather than tumbling into the water.

In the previous lesson we have learned the concepts of motion, we

learned how objects are moved from one place to another. In this
lesson, we will learn something similar to motion, which are waves.

Based on the activities, we now know that waves transmit energy,

and it can be formed or found anywhere.
4. EXPLAIN (15 mins)
To help the students build the concept/knowledge further, I will be • Laptop/
having a lecture about elements and compounds by explaining Smartphone
concepts and using the knowledge they gained from their experiences • Internet
in the past activities. Connection
• Google meet
The Nature of Waves • PowerPoint
Presentation
Waves can be formed anywhere. It occurs when repetitive motion
called vibration takes place like when we wave our hands or strum
the strings of the guitar or throw a stone into a lake. There are also
waves that exist but cannot be seen such as the sound waves which
carry noises or sounds.

A wave can be defined as a periodic disturbance that travels away

from its source in which energy is transmitted.
o For instance, in Figure 1 below, a boy places his paper
boat on a basin of water. He wants to move it. One
way to do it is to create waves by tapping his hand on
the water. These waves will eventually move the boat.

Based on the given example, how does a wave transmit energy from
one place to another? As the boy taps his hand on the water, this will
start a wave pulse. It refers to a single disturbance that will start the
series of disturbances or waves. The wave pulse created by the boy’s
hand has put energy into the water and this energy travels in the form

4
of waves from one place to another. This transmission of energy
makes the paper boat moves.

Types of Waves
Waves have different types, namely, transverse waves, longitudinal
waves, and surface waves.

Transverse waves happen when waves travel in a direction

perpendicular to the direction of the wave movement. Figure 2 below
is an illustration of a transverse wave, where the rope waves travel
up and down and the wave movement moves horizontally. Some
examples of this type of wave are infrared and ultraviolet rays.

Longitudinal waves happen when the waves travel in a direction

parallel to the direction of wave movement. Figure 3 below is an
illustration of a longitudinal wave, where the coil spring is moved
back and forth. Its waves also travel back and forth, and the wave
movement travels horizontally. Sound is an example of this type of
wave.

Lastly, the surface waves. These happen when the waves travel both
as transverse and longitudinal waves, in which the movement of the
wave particles at the surface is nearly circular. The water waves in
Figure 1 on the previous page is an example of a surface wave, where
the water particles move both horizontally and vertically to the
direction of the wave movement as seen in Figure 4 below.

How do waves propagate?

Waves propagate as mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves occur when waves travel through a medium such

as solid, liquid, or gas. For instance, when you strum the guitar, wave

5
movement would not exist without the string. The string serves as the
medium for waves to occur. Another example is the sound waves
which require solid, liquid, or gas material such as air to propagate
the sound.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves occur without the aid of

a medium. The waves existing in the sun’s ultraviolet rays, X-rays,
and radio waves are examples of EM waves

Characteristics of a Wave
There are different characteristics of a wave, namely; crest, trough,
amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. These characteristics are
shown below in Figure 5.

The crest refers to the point at the highest part of a wave. Trough
refers to the lowest point of the wave. Another part is the amplitude
which is defined as the maximum displacement of a wave on either
side from its normal position. However, wavelength is the distance
between any two successive crests or troughs.

In a periodic wave, the number of waves that travel at a particular

point for every one second is known as its frequency, while period
refers to the time covered for one complete wave to travel at a certain
point.
