III. Learning Task:
1. Engagement:
A. Demonstrate how light travels.
1. Materials: flashlight, 5 index cards. 7 wooden blocks,
mirror, and a piece of black paper
2. Make a hole on the upper part of each card.
3. Arrange the cards in straight line supported by wooden block
4. Turned off the classroom lights to make the classroom dark and lighten up the
flashlight.
5. Hold the black card centimeters behind the hole of the last card. Does the light
shine on the piece of black paper?
6. Cover the hole of the first card with your hand. Does light still shine on the
black paper? Why or Why not?
7. How about if we put the mirror in front of the first card. Does the light shine on
the black paper? Why or Why not?
B. Ask the Learners upon their observation:
a. Did the hand stop the light?
b. Does the hand holds up the light?
c. Did the mirror stop the light? Why?
d. Does the mirror holds up the light? Why?
e. Do you think light travels in straight line or in curve line? (Gather ideas from
the learners write it on the board for the processing after the activity)
2. Exploration:
A. Prepare the class for the next activity. Count in number 3, number 1 will be group
Transmit, number 2 is group absorb, and number 3 is group block. If you’redone
with the activity you will have to clap three times and shout the group name. The
first group to clap will the winner.
B. Allow each group to work on the designated activity. After a specific time each
group will present and post their observations and answers to the guided
question.
3. Explanation:
Discussion on the result of each activity
Activity 1 (Transmit)
1. What happen to the light of the flashlight covered with the given material?
(The light is released)
2. Does the light able to pass through? (Yes)
3. Does the appearance of light is the same with the light without the cover?
Why? (The light appears clearly, because the light can easily perceiveto
materials use)
Say:
The cellophane is a transparent material that allows light to transmit easily.
Activity 1 (Absorb)
1. What happen to the light of the flashlight covered with the given material?
(There is a partial light being release)
2. Does the light able to pass through? (Yes)
3. Does the appearance of light is the same with the light without the cover?
Why? (The light appears blur, because the light cannot pass through easily
with the material use)
Say:
The light looked blurred in the wax paper because it is a translucent material.
This material permittotransmit a little light because most of it is spreading in the
oppositeside and some are being absorb.
Activity 1 (Block)
1. What happen to the light of the flashlight covered with the given material?
(There is no light)
2. Does the light able to pass through? (No)
3. Does the appearance of light is the same with the light without the cover?
Why? (The no light appear, because the light cannot pass through with the
material use)
Say:
With this material light cannot transmit because some of the light is absorb and
reflected by the aluminum foil. Aluminum foil is an opaque material that do not
allow the light to pass through.
4. Elaboration:
Does light behave in the same way when it strikes different materials?
Lights have different behavior as it strikes in different materials. It defense upon the
materials use whether it is Transparent, Translucent, or Opaque.
Transparentmaterialstransmit light easily because of its smooth and clear surface.
Other transparent materials are clear plastic, lenses, glass, and window panes.
Translucent materials can transmit, absorb and blocks the light. This material
scatter the light from its source.
Opaque materials that do not allow light to pass through. With this material the light
may absorb and block.
Day 2
1. Engagement:
A. Show different picture of objects and people that block, absorb, and transmit
light.
B. Let the pupils describe each picture.
C. Ask the following question about light:
a. Do you how shadow are form?
b. Have you seen a rainbow?
c. Where does the color of the rainbow come from?
2. Exploration:
A. Perform the different activity in Lesson 5 from the LM. You should prepare the
materials in advance.
B. Guide the pupils in performing the activities. You should have a short
demonstration before each activity so that the learner have the pattern to follow.
C. From the group yesterday Activity 2 should be done by group Block, Activity 3 will
be for group Transmit and the last activity will be done by group Absorb.
D. After the activity the group will present their answers and observation.
3. Explanation:
Presence and absent of light has an effect on [Link] light that comes from the sun is
white. This white light is made up of different colors when it passes through a
material specifically prism. Also different color of light may form white lights when
mixed together. But some me materials do not allow light to pass through. Light that
strikes objects made from this materials is block. When the light is block it forms a
shadows. These shadow may be bigger or smaller than the object or may be longer
or shorter, darker or lighter.
4. Exploration:
We are surrounded by different color that is pleasing and add beauty to our eyes.
The objects appear to be colored when we look at them because the light that object
reflect to our eyes that enables us to see what object is and what colorit has. For
example, the gumamela flower appear red because most of the color from sunlight
absorb by the flower is red. Then the red light is reflected to our eyes.
5. Evaluation:
Write whether the material can block, absorb or transmit light.
1. Building blocks
2. Glass of water
3. Thin cloth
4. Cardboard
5. Plastic cover
IV. Assignment:
List 5 beneficial and harmful effects of light.
Lesson 6: Ability of the Materials to Block, Absorb or Transmit Sound to Its Use
Duration: 2 days
I. Objectives:
1. Identify the materials that can block, absorb or transmit sound.
2. Explain the effects of sound on people and objects.

Day 1
VI. Learning Task:
1. Engagement:
A. Demonstrate how sound is produce
1. Materials: small beads, plastic sheet, plastic bowl and rubber bands
2. Cover the plastic bowl with the plastic sheet.
3. Place the beads on the sheet.
4. Tap the sheet.
B. Ask the Learners upon their observation:
a. What happens?
b. Do you hear any sound?
c. What produces the sound?
2. Exploration:
A. Prepare the class for the next [Link] the same group will you will perform
the activity.
B. Allow each group to work on the designated activity. After a specific time each
group will present and post their observations and answers to the guided
question.
3. Explanation:
When you shout into the empty tin can it reflect much of the sound into your ear,
which is why you can hear a loud sound. When the thin can is lined with a towel,
the sound you hear is dull. You also hear a dull sound when the tin can is lined
with rubber and with cotton. This is because each materials you used to line can
absorb the most of the sound, only little sound is reflected.
4. Exploration:
The sound may be absorb or reflect when they strike an object.
The reflected sound is called an echo.
5. Evaluation:
Write whether the material canabsorb or reflect sound.
1. Rubber mat
2. Towel
3. basin
4. glass
5. water
VII. Assignment:
List 5 beneficial and harmful effects of sound.
