if needed, additional lessons, exercises and remedial activities may be done for
developing content knowledge and competencies. These are assessed using
Formative Assessment Strategies. Valuing objectives support the learning of
content and competencies and enable children to find significance and joy in
learning the lessons. Weekly objectives shall be derived from the curriculum
guides.

resistance relationship, electric power, electric energy, and
home circuitry.

IV. PROCEDURES These steps should be done across the week. Spread out the activities
appropriately so that pupils/students will learn well. Always be guided by
demonstration of learning by the pupils/students which you can infer from
formative assessment activities. Sustain learning systematically by providing
pupils/students with multiple ways to learn new things, practice the learning,
question their learning processes, and draw conclusions about what they
learned in relation to their life experiences and previous knowledge. Indicate
the time allotment for each step.

load.

3. Since series circuit is less likely to overheat, there is no

need to use expensive, thick wires.

What are the disadvantages of series circuit?

The following are some of the disadvantages of series
connection:
1. If one of the light bulbs is damaged or removed in a
series connection, all other light bulbs in the circuit will
not light too. This is because the point where the bulb is
damaged or removed causes the circuit to open, resulting
to discontinue the flow of current in the circuit.

2. The addition of more light bulbs in series circuit causes

a decrease in the brightness of the bulbs. Given a fixed
amount of voltage supplied by the voltage source, the more
bulbs are added would mean more bulbs will share the
available electrical energy to be converted to light energy.

3. The loads in a series circuit are difficult to control

individually. When the switch is off, all loads in the
circuit will not function anymore.

4. It is difficult to identify the damaged bulb in the circuit.

What are the advantages of parallel circuit?

The following are some of the advantages of parallel
connection:
1. All loads in parallel connection are directly connected to
the voltage source. Even the resistances vary, all light
bulbs can still have their maximum brightness.
 2. In a parallel circuit, even if one of the light bulbs is
damaged, all other light bulbs will still function since the
flow of current is not entirely interrupted.

3. Individual load in a parallel circuit is easy to control.

Each load has a connecting wire for the current to flow,
and each may have its own switch. Even if you switch off
one bulb, other bulbs are not affected.

4. All light bulbs and appliances at home are connected in

parallel. Switching off some appliances does not affect
other appliances.

What are the disadvantages of parallel circuit?

The following are some of the disadvantages of parallel
connection:
1. Overloading may happen if appliances are
simultaneously used at home. With more loads, total
resistance decreases resulting to excessive, large amount of
current that would pass through the conducting wires.
Consequently, overheating of wires takes place which may
lead to fire.
2. A parallel connection is difficult to install, maintain, and
repair since large volume of conducting wires is needed.
When problem in the connection occurs, it is difficult to
identify which loop among the many loops does not work.

3. It requires the use of several conducting wires of

varying sizes.

With the same group, state the advantages and

disadvantages when the manner of using extension wires at
home is the same with what is shown in the picture below.

V. REMARKS
 VI. REFLECTION Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher.

provide for you so when you meet them, you can ask them
relevant questions.

earned 80% of the
evaluation
B. No. of learners who
require additional activities
for remediation who scored
below 80%
C. Did the remedial lesson
work? No. of learners who
have caught up with the
lesson
D. No. of learners who
continue to require
remediation
E. Which of my teaching
strategies worked well?
Why did these works?

encounter which my
principal or supervisor can
help me solve?
