I. Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
1. discuss the basic and common electrical splices and joints.
2. demonstrate skills in splicing and joining wires.
3. value the proper use of tools in splicing and in joining of wires.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Motivation
Video Clip Presentation
2. Presentation/ Discussion
Rat Tail or Pig Tail - This kind of joint is commonly used to join two or
more conductors inside the junction box. It is suitable for service where
there is no mechanical stress when wires are to be connected in an
outlet box, switch, or conduit fitting.
Knotted Tap - This is used where the tap wire is under heavy tensile
stress.
Plain Tap Joint - This is used where the tap wire is under considerable
tensile stress circuit.
C. Generalization
Splicing and joining wires has the vital roles in our daily lives. It is very
necessary to have knowledge in connecting wires. This usually help us in
maintaining the safety when doing splicing and joining wires. This could also
provide quality prior to the proper usage of tools when splicing and joining
wires.
D. Application
The class will be divided into 5 groups.
Each group will perform the proper splicing and joining of wires such
as Rat tail or Pig Tail, Knotted Tap, Plain Tap Joint, Aerial Tap and
Western Union Long-Tie Splice.
Each group will use pliers, long nose plier, diagonal plier and
electrician knife.
The grading system will be based upon the scoring rubric below.
