ELICIT MATERIALS
Recall Concepts about heat. Ask the students: T.V
Is it possible for heat to be transferred?
Do you know some ways on how heat can be
transferred?
ENGAGE
Teacher demo: Alcohol lamp,
1. Heat a stainless spoon directly on a flame stainless spoon
using an alcohol lamp.
2. After a few seconds let the students feel the
heated spoon (be sure that the heated spoon
is just enough for the students to feel the
difference in temperature)
Note: Inform the students that what has been
demonstrated should not be done at home
without the guidance of an older one.
Guide questions:
1. What did you feel when you hold the spoon?
2. What makes the spoon hot?
3. How did the spoon get hot?
EXPLORE
Designing Class Activity Small pieces of
1.Group the students into six different
2. Let them do the activity: Which Feels Colder! objects(copper/silver
(Learners Module pp. 62-63) coin, aluminium foil,
Procedure: iron nail, stainless
Part A: To be performed one day ahead. spoon)
1. Place a laboratory thermometer inside the Laboratory
freezer of the refrigerator thermometer
2. Place also your sample objects inside the Cooler with ice cubes
freezer at the same time. Leave them inside
the freezer overnight
Note: If there is no available refrigerator, students
may use cooler with ice cubes and leave it in the
classroom overnight.
Part B:
3. Take the temperature reading from the
thermometer inside the freezer/ cooler.
Answer guide questions.
4. Touch one object lightly with your finger and
feel it.
Answer guide questions.
5. Touch the rest of the objects inside the
freezer/ cooler using different fingers, then
observe.
Answer guide questions.
EXPLAIN
Group presentation: Manila Paper, Marker
Each group will present their data in the class
Let the 6 groups compare and analyse their
results
Students should generate a conclusion from
their result.
ELABORATE
CAI (ICT) Slided, TV, speaker
1. Present a slided:
Give emphasis on the following concepts:
Conduction takes place between objects that
are in contact with each other.
The energy from the object of higher
temperature is transferred to the other object
through their particles that are close or in
contact with each other. Then the particles
receiving the energy will also transfer the
energy to other places within the object
through their neighboring particles.
Some objects conduct heat faster than the
others. This explains why we feel some
objects colder or warmer than the others even
if they are of the same temperature.
Every material differs in terms of thermal
conductivity.
Show the approximate values of thermal
conductivity of some common materials given
in the learners’ module.
Ask students:
a. What have you notice to the thermal
conductivities of the given materials?
b. What does it mean when a material has a
higher conductivity? Lower conductivity?
Solids that conduct heat better are considered
good conductors of heat while those which
conduct heat poorly are generally called
insulators.
When it comes to conducting heat, not all
substances are created equal. Metals and
stone are mostly considered good conductors
since they can speedily transfer heat, whereas
materials like wood, paper, air, and cloth are
poor conductors of heat.
EVALUATE
Students will be given a short test on which they will Worksheets, pen
put a check mark (√) if the material is a good
conductor of heat and cross mark (X) if not
EXTEND
Ask students to list three cooking utensils and what Paper, pen
they are made of. Do you think they are good
conductor of heat? Why?
