D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1
● Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced
by making electrons vibrate in an antenna. They are used to transmit sound and picture
information over long distances. Radio waves have a very wide range of wavelengths.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2

● The whole region of the radio waves is divided into smaller regions or wavebands. Each waveband
is allocated by law to a specific radio service.
● Low frequency waves are suitable for communication over great distances. But the curvature of the
earth limits the range to about 80 kilometers. To extend the range, a repeater is used. The repeater
receives the signal and re-transmits it to the receiving station.
● Medium and high frequency waves are used for broadcasting by local radio stations.
 ● High frequency waves can be reflected by the ionosphere. This enables the waves to be
transmitted over great distances.
● Very high frequency waves provide a higher quality broadcasting including stereo sound.

Elaborate
F. Developing mastery (Leads to Formative Assessment)
● What are the smaller regions or wavebands of a radio wave?

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living

● How does this topic apply to you as an individual if you have stages of human growth and
development?

H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson

● Let the learners answer the following questions.
1. Compare the time distance taken by the RC car to cover the same distance using different
materials.
2. Do RC car go faster or slower using different materials?
3. What does the activity tell you about the transmission of the signal?
4. What characteristics of EM waves did you discover?
