B. Developmental Lessons

1. Motivation

- Have you experience playing
outside at night?
- What do you usually play?
- How about playing if theres no
electricity at night?
- What do you usually play
- Are you enjoying playing shadow
during brownout?

2. Presentation

Now class I prepare an activity
playing shadow? But before that, what
are the standards to be followed while
having group activity.

The teacher will give an activity to





Pupils do as told.



Directions: Encircle the letter of the correct answer.






c. solid




b. graduated cylinder



a. volume


d. water



c. water







pupil's answer may vary

hide and seek.

pupil's answer may vary
playing shadow

yes!




Cooperate with your group
Work quietly
Follow instruction correctly

pupil's do as told
be done by the pupils then, they will
answer the following questions. Write on
it.
























3. Discussion
(The leader of the group will
explain their work in the front.)

Now, class based from the
activity that you have done which
material casted a shadow?

Very good! Why do you think
that book casted a shadow?

Very good! If the light cannot
pass through on that object. Do
you have any idea about kind of
material is that?

Very good! And aside from that,
in opaque materials you cannot
the things behind of it.


Now class, based from those
materials, which material casted a
light shadow?

Very good! When you focused
the light on the clear cellophane
what have you notice on the light?



1. Focus the flashlight on the book then observe
if the shadow is formed. Do you see a
shadow?
2. Focus the flashlight on cellophane. Do you
see a shadow?
3. Do the same on the piece of colored
cellophane. Do you see a shadow?
4. Fill out the following table. Check the
appropriate column.
5. Which materials cast a shadow?
Materials Casts a
dark
shadow
Casts a
light
shadow
Does not
cast a
shadow
at all
Book


Clear
cellophane

Colored
cellophane


6. Which did not cast a shadow?
7. Describe the shadow cast by the piece of
colored cellophane.








Book

Because the light cannot pass through



Opaque materials









Colored Cellophane



Only small amount of light can pass through
the object


Very good! So since that only
small amount of light can pass
through on that materials, what do
you call that?

Very good!

Class, from those materials, Is
there any material that do not cast
a shadow?

What is that?

Very good! Why do you think
that clear cellophane did not cast
a shadow?


Very Good! So what do you that
material?

The teacher will ask the pupils to
give examples of opaque,
translucent and transparent
materials.


4. Generalization

What are the three
groups of materials
according to their ability
to allow lights to pass
through them.

What is opaque materials?
How about translucent?
transparent?




















Translucent materials





Yes, teacher



Clear cellophane

Because most of the light pass through the
object.



Transparent materials











opaque, translucent
and transparent



opaque materials
these are the materials
cast a shadow because light
cannot pass through then.

translucent materials
are materials that
allow some light to
pass through and they cast a lighter
shadow.

transparent materials-
are materials that allow
must light to pass
through and they do
not cast a shadow.






5. Application
Now class, we will have
another group activity. I
will divide you into two groups
but before that let us set get again
the standard in doing group
activity.

Class, I have here envelopes
each envelope has an activity
card where the instructions are
written.

















IV. EVALUATION


Directions: Write true if the statement is
correct. If it is false, change the
underlined word to make the statement
true.
