IV. Procedure: 5 E’s APPROACH

ENGAGE:
A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson
Direction: Complete the statement below by providing the missing letters.

An object is said to be in m _ t _ _ n if it changes in p _ s _ _ _ on with respect to its

reference point.
Answer: motion position

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

“Do all materials allow heat to transfer to an object easily?”

EXPLORE:
C. Presenting examples/Instances of the new lesson
 The pupils will watch the video clip about heat conductors and insulators.
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1

 The pupils will be grouped into 3 and will be given Task Card.
Group Task: Differentiated Activities
Task Card 1: “Where Do I Belong?”
Direction: Cut the pictures of Kitchen Tools & Utensils then paste the pictures
according to the materials their made up.

Metal Plastic Wood

Task Card 2: “Know Your Worth!”

Direction: Complete the concept web by filling in the circles with examples of
conductors that you see in the classroom.

Task Card 3: “Can You Tell?”

Direction: Answer the questions below:

 What do you call the materials that heat can easily pass through?
conductors

 They will do their task according to the standards in doing group activity.
 The teacher will move around to monitor and supervise them.
 Presentation of outputs per group.
 Clarification of any misconceptions.

EXPLAIN:
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2
 Discussion:
What are the materials of the spoons used in the experiment?
  The materials of the spoons used in the experiment are metal, plastic, and wood.

In which spoon (metal spoon or plastic spoon or wooden spoon) the butter melted fast?
Why?
 The butter melted in metal spoon.
 Because the heat from the hot water was allowed to easily pass through the
metal spoon so it caused the butter to melt.

What do we call the material that allow heat to easily pass through?
 The material that allows heat to pass through easily is called heat conductor.
Therefore, metal is a heat conductor.
 Aside from metal, there are other materials that conducts heat such as gold, silver,
iron, steel, aluminum, and copper.

How about the butter in wood and plastic spoons, did it melt like the butter in metal
spoon? Why?
 The butter in wood and plastic spoons did not melt.
 Because the heat from the hot water was not allowed to easily pass through wood
and plastic spoons so it does not cause the butter to melt.

What do we call these materials that do not allow heat to easily pass through?
 The material that does not allow heat to pass through easily is called heat
insulator. Therefore, wood and plastic are heat insulator.
 Aside from wood and plastic, there are other materials that insulates heat such as
rubber, cotton, nylon, glass, cement, and leather.

F. Developing mastery (leads to Formative Assessment)

Individual Task:
Direction: Copy and complete the Venn Diagram below about Heat Conductors and Insulators
by writing the letter of the correct answer in each box.

A. Materials that prevent heat to transfer easily to an object.

B. Metal, silver. copper, gold, aluminum, and steel.
C. Heat conductors and insulators are both useful to humans.
D. Rubber, glass, wood, plastic, cotton, and cement.
E. Materials that allow heat to transfer easily to an object.

G. Finding practical application of concepts and skills in daily living
 How do conductors and insulators help us in our daily activities?
We use conductors such aluminum pots and pans in cooking our meals. While
insulators such as umbrella and slippers protect us and keeps us safe from heat that the
sun and pavement may transfer to our body and feet.

H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson

 Direction: Match the statement in Column A to the words being described in column B by
writing the letter of your selected answer.

COLUMN A COLUMN B
1. Materials that prevent heat to a. Conductors
transfer easily to an object.
2. Materials that allow heat to b. Insulator
transfer easily to an object.

EVALUATION:
