Exercise extreme caution when you are near hot objects to avoid
accidents.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:


Energy:
How heat travels through solids by conduction
A. Science Concepts/Ideas:
Heat travels through solids by conduction.
Conduction is a method of heat transfer from molecule to molecule.
B. Science Processes:
Observing, describing, experimenting
C. Materials
Alcohol burner, conduction apparatus, wax rings

III. RPOCEDURE:
A. Preparatory Activities:
1. Review
1. How does heat move?
2. Give examples to illustrate that heat transfers from a hot body to a
cold body.
B. Lesson Proper:
1. Motivation:
Let's play. Form a circle by holding hands. As we sing Sitsiritsit, the first
pupil near me will press the hand of the pupil whose hand she is holding.
The same is passed to all the pupils Ir. the circle.
Whose hand was pressed last?
2. Activity Proper:
a. Let pupils identify the materials.
b. Explain the procedure
c. Do the activity
1. Cut five wax rings from a candle.
2. Insert the metal rod the conduction apparatus through the wax
rings.
3. Spread and arrange the rings one after the other along the rod:
4. Heat one end of the metal rod with an alcohol lamp.

5. Write your observations.


a. What happens to the wax rings as the metal rod is heated?
b. Did the wax rings fall one by one or at the same time.
c. What does this indicate?
C. Concept Formation:
1. Pupils report their findings/observation.
2. Lead the pupils to a discussion on the activity.
Heat is caused by rapidly moving molecules. When one end of the rod
is heated the molecules in this place is heated and begin to move faster
and faster. As a result, the neighboring molecules also begin to move
faster and faster and heat spreads through the metal.
D. Generalization:
How does heat travel in solids?
E. Application:
Why do you need to use a pot holder when you remove at the kettle from
the stove? What happens to your hands when you touch it with your bare
hands?
IV. EVALUATION:
Write the letter of the correct answer.
1. How does heat travel by conduction?
a. It is transferred from molecule to molecule.
b. It is transferred by waves without the help of molecules.
c. It is carried by a current of molecules.
2. Which illustrates conduction?
a. the handle of a spoon becomes hot while stirring hot milk
b. you feel the warmth of the heat of the sun when you are outside
c. the stone left on the pavement becomes hot at noon
V. ASSIGNMENT:
Draw an illustration showing the movement of heat in solids.

SCIENCE AND HEALTH IV


Date: ____________
I.

OBJECTIVE:
Describe how heat is transferred in liquids and in gas.
Values:

Understanding the transfer of heat helps us makes our lives more


comfortable. It also makes us appreciate the ingenuity of the people
in other countries on how they build their homes to keep their selves
warm during winter days.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:


Energy:
How heat travels through solids by conduction
A. Science Concepts/Ideas:
The molecules of liquids and gases are farther apart and can move freely.
Thus heat is transferred from one place to another by a current of moving
molecules. This method of heat transfer is called convection.
B. Science Processes:
Observing, describing, experimenting
C. Materials
Candle, convection turbine, match, picture of an Eskimo house
References:
Manual of Enhancement Activities and Experiments in Health and Science 4
by Jessie A. Villegas pp. 92-93
III. RPOCEDURE:
A. Preparatory Activities:
1. Review
How is heat transferred through? What do you call this method of heat
transfer? Give examples of heat transfer through conduction.
B. Lesson Proper:
1. Motivation:
This is a Eskimo house. What do we call it? It is made of blocks of ice.
How could a house like this make people warm in cold days? Let's find
out how.
2. Activity Proper:
a. Identify the materials
b. Explain the procedure
Activity
1. Balance the turbine on top of the safety pin pivot of the vertical stand
of the convection turbine.
2. Place a lighted candle under the stand 'directly below the turbine.

91

3. Observe the turbine.


a. What happen to the turbine as the air is heated?
b. What does this observation indicate?
C. Concept Formation:
1. Allow pupils to give their observation.
2. Let the pupils in the understanding that.
When liquid or gas is heated, the molecules of that liquid or gas at the
heated spot move farther apart. The warm liquid/gas becomes lighter and
is pulled up by the colder liquid/gas molecules. This process repeats and a
convection current is produced. In this way the entire liquid/gas becomes
evenly heated.
D. Generalization:
How is heat transferred in liquids and in gases?
How is the method of hear transfer by convection done?
E. Application:
Have you seen those structures that turns and built on rooftops of
factories and storehouses? These are convection turbines. How do they help
the ventilation of these buildings?
IV. EVALUATION:
Write the letter of the correct answer:
1. How is heat transfer by convection best described?
a. Heat is transferred because of difference in temperature.
b. Heat is transferred from molecule to molecule by contact.
c. Heat is transferred by a current of freely moving molecules.
2. Which situation shows heat transfer by convection?
a. A stone under the sun becomes warm.
b. The handle of a ladle becomes hot when placed over the fire.
c. A fire keeps people sitting around it warm.
3. Why is convection a method of heat transfer in liquid and in gas but not in
solids?
a. because the molecules of liquids and gases are closely packed
b. because molecules of liquids and gases are freely moving
c. because liquids and gases are not made of molecules
V. ASSIGNMENT:
Write one situation that shows how heat travels by convection.
