ELICIT
 Review
What was our last topic yesterday?
Yes, student 1. Yesterday we learned about How
Sound Travels in Different
Materials.

Sound waves can travel through

Yes, very good! Again class, what are the
three medium that sound can travel solids, liquid, or gases.
through?

Very good! In which material does sound
travel fastest?
Also in which material does sound travel
slowest?
Sound waves travel fastest in solids.
Sound waves travel slowest through
gases/

Very good class! Sound travels more

quickly through solids, than liquid and
gas.

I think you already understand our past

lesson. Now, we are going to proceed in
our new lesson.
B. Developmental Activity
ENGAGE
 Motivation
Before we move to our new lesson for
today, I want you all to observe the
picture.
Can anyone of you tell what do you see in (Children have their answers).
the picture?

Yes? Teacher I saw a word.

Correct! Can you read it? Yes teacher.
What does it say?
It’s a word “teach.”

Great! Now, what is being produced It is also the word teach but it is
below the word teach? spelled backwards or inverted.

That is correct, the word being produced

below teach is spelled backwards or
inverted when we read it because we see
the word through reflection.

EXPLORE
Now for you to be clearly understand, we
were going to have an activity called
“mirror game”.

I need two students to come in front. Who

wants to volunteer?

We have Zia and Tala.

Okay class, this is how the game goes. Zia

will do any action and Tala will try to
imitate Zia’s action. For example, if Zia
raise her right hand Tala should also raise
her left hand because Tala will serve as a
reflection of Mia.
What can you observe with our activity Teacher, based on how Tala imitate
class? Zia’s action is like seeing our self in
a mirror.

Very good! When we look at ourselves in

a mirror, we are actually seeing light that
has been reflected from us and then from
the mirror.

Now, do you want to know how does the

word “teach” and the “mirror game” we
played create a reflection and how light Yes teacher.
reflected?

Alright! Because for today’s lesson we

were going to investigate reflection of
light.

EXPLAIN

 Presentation
Almost everyday we see ourselves in the
mirror just like how we played the mirror
game and we wondered why the mirror
reflect our image?

The only reason we can see things around

us is that light reflects them into our eyes.

Light is a form of energy. We use this

energy in our daily activities. It guide us
throughout the day. It help us to see and
enjoy the beauty around us.
Using our?
Eyes teacher.
Do you know class, what is our main
source of light? Sun teacher.
Very good. Sun is the most important
source of light here on Earth. The sun’s
ultra violet rays help the human body to
have a Vitamin D, which is important to
our bones, blood cells and to increase our
immune system. Plants get energy from
sunlight, without sunlight, a plant would
 not be able to produce the energy it needs
to grow. The sun’s energy also helps the
animals to get vitamin D by eating plants.

Did you understand how important light is

in our life? Yes teacher, it is very important in
our daily activities.
Now we are going to discuss what is
reflection and refracted.

PROPERTIES of LIGHT
1. Reflection
2. Refracted Reflection is the bouncing back of
light when it strikes a smooth
surface.
Refraction is the bending of light
rays when it travels from one medim
to another.
I have here a mirror, looking at the mirror
is the real life example of reflection.

I have here a glass with water and a pencil

an example of a refraction.

But class do you want to know how light

travels? Yes teacher.

I have here some materials that we are Activity:

going use to investigate how light travels.
What to do:
flashlight,
cardboard, 1. Hold the flashlight and turn it
book, on.
glass with water, 2. Try to block the flashlight
cloth with the materials.
glass slab 3. Observe what happens to the
beam of light each time.

IV. APPLICATION
Directions: Determine whether light will reflect or bend when it hits the following materials.
1. Mirror
2. Spoon
 3. Straw in water
4. Magnifying glass
5. Prism

Anwers:

1. reflect
2. reflect
3. bend
4. bend
5. bend
