B. Developmental Lessons

1. Motivation

- Have you experience playing pupil's answer may vary

outside at night?
- What do you usually play? hide and seek….
- How about playing if there’s no
electricity at night? pupil's answer may vary
- What do you usually play playing shadow
- Are you enjoying playing shadow
during brownout? yes!

2. Presentation

Now class I prepare an activity

playing shadow? But before that, what Cooperate with your group
are the standards to be followed while Work quietly
having group activity. Follow instruction correctly

The teacher will give an activity to pupil's do as told

be done by the pupils then, they will
answer the following questions. Write on 1. Focus the flashlight on the book then observe
it. 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 Casts a Does not
dark light cast a
shadow shadow 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.

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? Book

Very good! Why do you think Because the light cannot pass through
that book casted a shadow?

Very good! If the light cannot

pass through on that object. Do Opaque materials
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 Colored Cellophane
light shadow?

Very good! When you focused

the light on the clear cellophane Only small amount of light can pass through
what have you notice on the light? the object
 Very good! So since that only
small amount of light can pass Translucent materials
through on that materials, what do
you call that?

Very good!

Class, from those materials, Is Yes, teacher

there any material that do not cast
a shadow?

What is that? Clear cellophane

Very good! Why do you think Because most of the light pass through the
that clear cellophane did not cast object.
a shadow?

Very Good! So what do you that Transparent materials

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 opaque, translucent
according to their ability and transparent
to allow lights to pass
through them.

What is opaque materials? opaque materials –

How about translucent? these are the materials
transparent? 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 Cooperate with your group.
another group activity. I Work quietly.
will divide you into two groups Follow instructions correctly.
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.

Activity Card No. 1

Directions: Classify the objects as to opaque,

translucent, transparent by checking
the appropriate column.

Objects Translucent Transparent Opaque

4.illustration
board
5.plastic

IV. EVALUATION

Directions: Write true if the statement is

correct. If it is false, change the
underlined word to make the statement
true.

______1. Light does not pass through
opaque materials.
