TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES

1. Greetings

Good morning, class!

Good morning, Ma’am!

How are you feeling right now?

We are feeling great, ma’am!

Wow! I am pleased to hear that you are

great because for today we are back again
to welcome a day filled with new
learnings.

2. Prayer

Now, before we begin, let us not forget to

ask for the guidance of our Almighty
Father. May I ask someone to please lead
(The learners will stand up and pray.)
the prayer…
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit Amen …

3. Energizer
 Now, let us do some stretching.

Before you take your seats, kindly check (The students will stretch their arms and
the surroundings and pick up the pieces of legs)
paper or any litter under your chairs, if
there are any.

4. Checking of Attendance

Is there any absence today?

Wow, a perfect attendance! Give

yourselves a round of applause!

None, ma’am!
5. Classroom Rules

(The learners will clap their hands)

And now, let us have a quick run-down of
our classroom protocols that we need to
adhere to in order for us to achieve a
meaningful teaching and learning
experience, it is shown in the acronym
RULES:
R- Raise your hand for queries and
recitations.
U- Use phones only if NECESSARY.
L- Listen Actively: Pay attention when
your teacher or classmates are speaking.
E- Engage and participate in class
activities and discussions

(The teacher will call a student to read the

rules)

(The learner will read the classroom

rules.)

B. ELICIT

Last week, you had a very productive

discussion.
I want to check your learnings on our
previous topic. What do I have here in my
hand? A car!

Can you describe this car?

It is colored red, has wheels, and has
passengers riding it.

Very good! Now, I want you to pass it to

your seatmate when the music is on but
once the music stops, the one who is
holding the car will pick a passenger
containing a question.

Do you understand, my dear learners?

If that’s the case, let’s start your car’s Yes, ma’am!
engine through music and zoom! Are you
ready?

(The teacher will play the music and stops

it randomly)

Questions:
1. What was our previous topic all about
?

Exactly! Last week, we talked about

Answer:
soil conservation, which will be
defined by our next lucky student… Our discussion was all about
2. What is _____?

C. ENGAGE

Before we officially start the lesson, let us (The teacher will play the music and stops
play a game called Wave Me Like You Do. it randomly)
But before I tell you what it’s all about, I
want you to look at your seat mates, for
they will be your partners in this activity.
Do you all have your pairs?
Yes, ma’am!
Very good!

Now, the mechanics of this game is simple,

I will be flashing statements on the screen
and when you and your partner think that
the statement is true, shake or wave your
hand stick in the air. But if you think that
Yes, ma’am!
the statement is false, do not raise and
wave the hand stick. Do you understand
the instructions?

If that’s the case then, let’s begin!

Statement 1: Waves are caused by

vibrations.
True or false?

Very good! The statement is true! Waves

are produced by vibrations that transfer
energy from one point to another.
(The learners will shake/wave their hand
sticks in the air.)
Statement 2: When you throw a piece of
stone in a pond, you will observe that when
the stone touches the water. circular ripples
are formed.

True or false?
Correct!

Statement 3: When you switch the lights (The learners will shake/wave their hand
on, you produce light waves. sticks in the air.)

True or false?

Correct answer! Light is also a wave.

Statement 4: When you strum the strings

of the guitar, you create a wave called
(The learners will shake/wave their hand
sound waves.
sticks in the air.)

True or false?

Very good again! Sound waves are created

by object vibrations and produce pressure
waves, for example, a ringing cell phone.

Statement 5: Waves do not transfer energy (The learners will shake/wave their hand
sticks in the air.)

True or false?

Good job everyone! It is false because

waves transfer energy from one place to
another. And it transfers energy through
the vibrations of particles.
(The learners will not shake/wave their
hand sticks.)
Thank you, class for participating! Now,
based on our activity, what do you think
our lesson will be about today?

Exactly! Today we will be talking about

waves, particularly, the types of waves,
and the parts of a wave!

(A learner will recite)

As we go on with the lesson, you must
Our lesson will be about waves.
achieve the following learning objectives:

(The teacher will call a student to read the

learning objectives)

Thank you! (A learner will read the objectives)

At the end of the lesson, learners should be
able to:
Are you ready to learn?
a. Identify different types of waves.
b. Recognize the significance of wave
interactions in everyday phenomena,
such as sound and light.
c. Label the anatomy of a wave.
 Yes ma’am!

D. Explore

To know more about waves and its types,

let us have a group activity. I will divide
the class into five. The five groups will
pick among five envelopes containing the
respective task that they must accomplish.

To know your groupings, pick a paper on

this box.

(Each of the learners will pick from the

box.)
They may pick one of the following colors
indicating their respective groups:
- Red: Group 1
- Orange: Group 2
- Yellow: Group 3
- Green: Group 4
- Blue: Group 5
Now that everyone is done, proceed to
your groupings quietly.

(The learners will proceed to their groups)

Pick a representative for each group to
select an envelope containing your special
tasks.
(Group representatives will get and select
an envelope from the teacher.)
The envelope contains the following:

Envelope 1:
● Get the rope from your teacher.
● Assign other members must answer
the questions:
1. What is a transverse wave?

Yes, Ma’am!

I will give you 5 minutes to explore and

discuss how you will demonstrate each
assigned activity to the class and 3 minutes
for the presentation.

Are we clear class?

Okay, You may now start class, and if you
have questions, just ask me!

E. EXPLAIN

Time’s up! Before we proceed to the

presentation of each of the groups, who can
give me a definition or meaning of a wave?

(A learner will recite and give his/her

answer.)
A wave is a periodic disturbance which is
carriers energy from one location to
another.
Very good! A wave is a travelling
disturbance and carries energy from one
phase to another. It is caused by a vibration
and can travel through a medium. In simple
terms, waves occur all around you in the
physical world.

What is a medium?

(A learner will recite and give his/her

answer.)
Correct answer! Examples of the said
medium can be solid liquid and gas. A medium is a thing or substance that

group one. Transverse waves are waves in
which particles of the medium move in a
perpendicular manner or vertically.

What is the medium that was used by

group one to produce transverse waves?

Very good! What was the movement of the

transverse waves?

Well said, class! Let’s now proceed to

group two!

The rope, ma’am!

Up and down ma’am!

Good job too, to group two! Clap for them!

Longitudinal waves are those that vibrate (Group two will present their simulation

F. ELABORATE

From our activity and discussion, what is

the significance or importance of waves in
everyday lives such as light and sound
waves?

(Learners will volunteer to share their

answers.)
The energy from waves can be used to
communicate long distances or even
 promote healing within the body

Very good! What else? (Learners will volunteer to share their

answers.)
Waves, particularly electromagnetic waves
like light, are essential for modern
communication systems. From radio
waves for broadcasting to microwaves for
wireless internet, these waves enable
communication over long distances
without physical connections.

(Learners will volunteer to share their

answers.)
Waves, especially in the form of light and
