C. Process Skills: Observing, Describing, Inferring
D. Values integration: Cooperation, Responsibility
III. Learning Task:
A. Elicit
Game (Hot Pot Relay)
1. Divide the class into two groups.
2. Discuss the mechanics of the game.
Each member of the team will put on the apron and the
hairnet.
One DepEd… One Pampanga
Starting from a certain position, each member races to a
designated spot and back to his/her teammates where he/she
relays the pot using pot holder.
The first team to finish wins
B. Engage
Ask the following questions.
What are the things used in playing the game? (hairnet, apron, pot, pot
holder)
What are the things found inside your kitchen?
C. Explore
1. Provide the class with the materials needed in doing the activity.
2. Divide the pupils into two. Guide them as they work on the first activity.
Activity 1
Problem: Discover what kitchen utensils handlers are made of?
What you need: Different Kitchen Utensils
What to do:
a. Describe the handlers of the different kitchen utensils.
b. Identify the materials of which these handlers are made.
c. Identify other equipment you see either in your home or in school that have
handlers made of the same materials as those you identified in step 2.
d. Have the pupils answer the guide questions

Guide Questions
1. What do the handles of the different kitchen utensils have in common?
2. What materials are these handles made of or covered with?
3. What purpose do these materials serve?
4. What other materials do you think can serve this purpose?
D. Explain
1. Ask a representative of each group to post their observations.
2. Have a discussion about their observations in the activity.
One DepEd… One Pampanga
Answers to the guide questions:
1. The handlers are covered with different materials.
2. The handlers are covered with plastic, rubber and wood materials.
3. These materials are used for safety purposes.
Materials that are covered with or made of ceramic.
Say: Kitchen utensils that are made of different materials such as rubber, plastic, wood
and ceramic are used for safety cooking.
Activity 2
1. Advance preparation (Ask the class to gather the materials needed in doing the
activity)
2. Divide the class into three groups.
Problems: What is the difference between conductors and insulators?
Why some Materials Conduct Heat?
What you need:
Hot water, # bowls, 3 iron nails, 3 plastic toys, 3 wooden ladles, 3
thermometers, tongs, writing materials
What to do:
1. Pour hot water into the bowl (CAUTION: You should do this wearing protective
clothing and with your teacher’s supervision.)
2. Place the three objects in the bowl.
3. Wait for 5 minutes. Remove the object one at a time using the tong.
4. Using the thermometer, get the temperature of each object as quickly as you can.
5. Record the data in the table below:
Results and Analysis:
Materials Temperature (‘C)
Metal Spoon
Plastic Toy
Wooden ladle
Guide Questions
1. Which of these objects did you record the highest temperature? The lowest
temperature?
2. Which kind of materials is the spoon made of? Describe the ladle and the toy.
3. Which of the objects conduct heat? Which did not?
4. What makes the spoon a good conductor of heat? Which materials are poor
conductor of heat?
5. Aside from spoon, give other examples of materials/objects that are made of
metal?
E. Explain
1. Ask each group to present their data and answers to the activity.
2. Discuss the results of the activity.
Answers to the guide questions:
1. The spoon recorded the highest temperature. The ladle and toy recorded the
lowest temperature.
2. The spoon is made up of metal. The ladle is made of wood while the toy is plastic.
3. The spoon conducts heat. The ladle and the toy did not conduct heat.
4. The spoon is a metallic material. Wooden and plastic are poor conductor of heat.
F. Elaborate
One DepEd… One Pampanga
Ask: What do you call the material that conduct heat? (Material that allow heat to flow
easily are called conductors)
What are poor conductors? (Materials that do not transmit or allow heat to pass
through are called insulators)
Why do some materials conduct heat? (Material likes spoon conducts heat because it
is made up of metal
Gadgets such as your smart phones and tablets do not get extremely hot. Why? (They
have heat sinks that cover heat generating parts)
Say: Metals like aluminum, iron, steel and copper are examples of conductors of heat.
Insulators such as rubber, wood and plastics are mostly used for the handles of many
cooking utensils for safety purposes.
G. Evaluate
Write true or false on the blank provided.
_____1. An insulator is a substance that does not allow heat to pass through.
_____2. Frying pan is an example of insulator.
_____3. Material that allow heat to flow through them easily are called conductors.
_____4. Metals are good conductors of heat.
_____5. Kitchen utensils that are made of iron are heat conductors.
H. Extend
What are conductors? What are insulators?
