TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

A. Preliminary

a. Greetings
Good morning class!
Students: Good morning Ma’am. It’s nice to
see you today!
Before we start, check if there are
pieces of papers under your chairs,
pick it up and arrange your chairs
properly. (The students checks if there is any pieces of
paper and trash under their chair and pick it
up then throw it in the garbage can)

b. Prayer
Everybody please stand up and let us
pray. May I ask Robert to lead the
opening prayer. (The students will stand up, bow their head
and pray)
(Robert will come in front to lead a prayer)

Robert: Lord, as we start this day,

Grant us wisdom, kindness, and joy.

 Guide our learning, support our efforts.
In your name, we pray.

Amen.

c. Checking of Attendance
(Diane checks if there is any absent in their
Is there any absent today Miss Diane? class)

“It is nice to hear that all of you are Diane: None Ma’am.
present today.”

“Because you’re present today , let’s (The students will stand up)
do a gwenchana clap” please stand up.

Follow after me class Students: 1,2,3…1,2,3…gwenchana?”

1,2,3…1,2,3…gwenchana?”
(The students perform a “gwenchana clap”
together in unison)

B. Learning Process

(The students start examining the figure)

a. ELICIT

Class, observe this graphic organizer

and read the following.

(Students raising their hands)

Yes, Mr. Jericho Jericho: Ma’am the figure is typhoon.

So, what are the characteristics of a (The students start raising their hands)
Typhoon?

Page 3
 Jeremy: Ma’am a typhoon has speed,
direction and velocity Ma’am.
Yes, Mr. Jeremy?

Excellent Mr. Jeremy, based on the

answer of Mr. Jeremy can someone (Angela start’s raising her hand)
give me our topic yesterday?

Angela: Energy in Motion Ma’am.

Yes Miss Angela?

Fabulous answer Miss Angela. I’m glad

that you still remember and
understand our topic.

Because of that we will do a Merkel (Student’s starts to stand up)

clap.

Stand up class!

Just follow me. Stand up class. Students: (Start’s doing the Merkel clap)

Ok first do this 1,2,3 clap clap clap

clap, 1,2,3 clap clap . Merkel!!

Ok settle down.

b. ENGAGEMENT

Before we proceed to our next topic.

Say “Hi” to your seatmate by waving

your hands.
(Students start making noises and starts
waving their hands)

Mr. John Paul, can you stand up. (John Paul stand up)
Do you make a side-to-side motion
with the palm of your hand, or do you
do an up-and-down motion?
John Paul: A side to side wave Ma’am.
Thank you, Mr. John Paul. You may sit

Page 4
now.

Ok class try to touch your throat.

Now try to speak.

(The students start touching their throat)

(Students try to speak and sing while

touching their throat)
What do you observe Miss. Aela?

Very good observation Miss Aela.

Aela: Ma’am I feel the vibration in my throat.
The buzzing or humming feeling your
felt when you touched your throat is
what we call vibration. So, if there is a
wave there is always a vibration. (The students start nodding their head)

Who among you know how to play

guitar?

Who among have cellphone? (Billy and Aela raise their hands)

Who among you have microwave? (Students raise their hands)

Who among you have seen a Xray? (Students raise their hands)

(Students raise their hands)

Outstanding observation Miss Princess.

(Students start’s raising their hands)

How about this one class?

(The teacher starts her phone and play

music with vibration)

Yes Mr. Angelo?

Angelo: There is a vibration and sounds
Ma’am.
Nice observation Mr. Angelo. But how
this sounds reached your sense of
hearing?
Angelo: I think Ma’am through waves Ma’am.
Exactly, Mr. Angelo. Waves carry
energy that travels through them.

Now, based on this image can you

guess our topic for today?

Page 5
 Students: Wave Ma’am!

Students: Yes Ma’am

Very Good Class!

c. EXPLORATION

To better understand our topic, here’s

a short video about our topic today.
(The students were listening)
Listen carefully and after watching the
video you will have an activity entitled
“Let’s Make Waves! What Happens
when waves pass by?” Is it clear class?
Students: Yes Ma’am

Ok settle down.

(The teacher starts playing the short (The students were actively watching)
video presentation)

(The video presentation ended)

Get ready class, I will group you into 4.

So, here’s the mechanics:

Materials:
 Rope

Procedure:
 Straighten the rope and hold (The students were listening)
one end of the rope and vibrate
it up and down.
 Draw threesketches of the rope
showing the moton of the pulse
at three subsequent instances.

 After performing,
answer the
following questions.

Q1. What is the source of the

wave pulse?
Q2. Describe the motion of your
hand.
Q3. Describe the motion of the

Page 6
 pulse with respect to the source.

Is it clear class?
Students: Yes Ma’am
If there is any question just
raise your hands.

All leaders come here in front. Take

these ropes.
(The leaders in each group come to the front
and take the ropes)
You may start now.

(Students start the activity)

d. EXPLANATION
(The students start to examine the picture)
Class how was your activity?

It’s good to hear. However, can Students: Exciting Ma’am!

someone explain to me what’s the
purpose of our activity?

Yes, Mr. Rocky?

Rocky: It helps us understand how transverse

Fabulous answer Mr. Rocky. That’s wave occur and how it produced.
right class. I hope you gain knowledge
after doing the activity.

Now, let’s us take a look in our

powerpoint presentation and move on
for deeper understanding about our
topic.

Ok class how do waves carry energy

from one place to another?

(Billy and Aela raise their hands)

Yes, Mr. Billy?

Waves carry energy by making things wiggle

as they travel through space or a medium.
That’s right class, a wave is a periodic
disturbance that moves away from a (Students were listening)
source and carries anergy with it. For
example: earthquakes, tsunamis,
waving of hands, sound of drums when
you make a disturbance.

Who will give me another example of

wave? (Students raise their hands)

Yes, Miss Dianne? Diane: vibration of a guitar string when

plucked Ma’am.

Page 7
 Very good example Miss Dianne, who (Students raising their hands)
else?

Yes, Miss Vivian? Vivian: when you clap your hands Ma’am.
(Students observing their teacher)

Exactly, that’s also a good example

Miss Vivian.
Students: Ok Ma’am.
Ok, let’s move on.

In the other hand, vibration is a

repetitive motion that you do with your
hand while waving. A vibration causes (Princess start’s raising her hand)
wave motion. When you observe a
wave, the source is always a vibration.

Example is when buzzing of a

cellphone when it receives a (Students start’s raising their hands)
notification. Who else can give me
another example? Lucky: metal fork? When we tap it a metal
fork, it goes "brrring!" That's because it's
Yes, Mr. Lucky? vibrating.

Fantastic example Mr. Lucky. That’s

correct class.

A periodic wave can be regarded as a

series of pulse. For instance, when
you throw a stone into a pond, the
ripples that spread out are like
individual pulses forming a wave.

e. ELABORATION

Class for you how waves contribute to

our everyday life? I’ll give you
scenarios then tell me the role of
waves and how it contributes to our
everyday life.

Ok let’s start. Who wants to try?

Vanesa: Using a Cellphone: When you
Yes, Vanesa send a text or call someone on your phone,
invisible waves called electromagnetic waves

1. Using a Cellphone
Outstanding answer Miss. Vanesa.
2. Watching TV
Excellent answer Mr. Wendell.
3. Using Wi-Fi
Very good answer Mr. Neil
4. Using a Remote Control
Nice answer Mr. Boyet.
5. Playing with a Jump Rope
Outstanding answer Mr. Glendel
Page 9
travel through the air to reach their phone.
These waves help us talk to each other even
if we're far away.
Wendell: Watching TV: When you watch
TV, the pictures and sounds come to your
screen as invisible waves too! These waves,
called electromagnetic waves, bring the TV
shows from the station to your TV, so you
can see and hear them.
Neil: Using Wi-Fi: When you go online with
your tablet or laptop using Wi-Fi, you're using
waves called radio waves. They're like
invisible signals that help your device talk to
the internet without any wires. This lets you
play games, watch videos, and do lots of fun
stuff online!
Boyet: Using a Remote Control: Have you
ever used a remote to change channels or
turn up the volume on the TV? It works with
waves too! When you press buttons on the
remote, invisible waves called infrared waves
tell the TV what to do. It's like magic!
Glendel: Playing with a Jump Rope: When
you play with a jump rope and make it go up
and down, you're making waves travel along
the rope. It's like a mini wave show! This
shows how waves can be made by moving
things around, just like in games and sports.
 Thank you for listening class.
