you, Student B. And what is temperature?
Thermometer Ma’am!
Correct! How do we measure the
temperature? What device are we going
to used?

Very good. It can be measured by using

thermometer.

 Motivation
Yes Ma’am.
Moving on, let’s have a short game. So,
this game is entitled, “Find the Hidden
Word”. You can see on the screen that
there are some jumbled words and I want
you to guess what is the hidden word. Are
you ready?

Okay. Anyone from the class can answer.

Just raise your hand and stand up to
share your answer in the class. Let’s
start. Possible Answers:
FIND THE HIDDEN WORD  CONVECTION
 CONDUCTION
 TICOCVNNOE
 RADIATION

You got it correct class! Thank you for

your active participation.

 Title Heat Transfer

Okay, based on our game earlier, what
do you think is our topic? Anyone from
the class?

You got it right. Our topic for today is

“Heat Transfer”

B. Objectives At the end of the lesson, the students

should be able to:
Class, kindly read our objectives for 1. Define heat transfer
today. 2. Describe the methods of heat
transfer
3. Relate the heat transfer in daily life
situations

(The teacher will call some students to

read the “Unlocking of Terms” shown in UNLOCKING OF TERMS
the TV screen)
a) Insulator – a material which does
not readily allow the passage of
heat
b) Conductor – a material or device
that conducts or transmits heat
c) Convection Current – refers to
the movement of air due to heat

C. Lesson Proper

1. Activity (The students will count off 1 – 4)

The class will be divided into 4 groups.

Please count off 1 – 4.

After that, group yourselves according to

your number. Each group will be given a
task. I have 2 activities here. The Activity
1 will be performed by Group 1, while
Activity 2: Procedure 1 will be performed
by Group 2. For Group 3, you are going
to watch and observe a video, then
answer the question in Activity 2:
Procedure 2 and for Group 4 you are
tasked to performed Activity 2: Procedure
3.

 Activity 1: Warm Me Up, Cool Me

Down!
Direction: Perform the activity using your
sense of touch. You can use your fingers
or hands to feel the objects being
observed. Precaution: Be extra careful
when using hot water.

Materials Needed:
•2 drinking glasses as containers
•2 big containers (enough to
accommodate the drinking glasses)
•Tap water
•Hot water

Procedure:
1.Label the glass 1 and 2 while the big ice
cream tubs A and B as shown.
2.Half fill containers 1, 2, and A with tap
water while half fill container B with hot
water. Be careful when you pour hot
water into the container.
3.Carefully place the glass 1 inside tub A
in Setup 1. Do the same with glass 2 and
tub B as in Setup 2.
4.After some time, dip your fingers for a
while into glasses 1 and 2 and observe
the relative temperature.

Q1. In which setup is heat transfer taking

place between water in the plastic cup
and the water in the ice cream tub?

 Activity 2: Methods of Heat

Transfer

Procedure 1:
1.Prepare a spoon, a small piece of cloth,
a candle, and matches.
2.Light the candle, then with a piece of
cloth, hold a spoon over the flame for
three minutes.

Q1. What happens to the handle of the

spoon? What method of heat transfer
takes place?
Procedure 2:
1. Watch the video that your teacher will
show to you.
2. Observe what happens to the two
different food coloring.

Q2. What happens to the movement of

the red food coloring? What method of
heat transfer takes place?

Procedure 3:
1.Make a fire in an open ground.
2.Sit near the fire. Feel your face and
arms.

Q3. What do you feel? How did the heat

from the fire transfer to your face?

You have 4 minutes to work on your task

and afterwards, a representative of each
group will present your work. I will give (Each group will do their task)
you 2 minutes to present your work. Do
you have any questions or clarifications?

Be careful everyone. Don’t hesitate to ask

me for assistance if you’re having a hard
time performing the task.

Okay, you may now start. (Group 1 representative will present their
work)
2. Analysis
Q1: Setup 2
(The teacher will gather the work of the
students and she will check if each group (Students will clap their hands)
got the correct answer)

Let’s begin with the Group 1. (Group 2 representative will present their
work)

Q1: The handle of the spoon becomes

hot. The method of heat transfer is
conduction.
Job well done Group 1! You’ve got the
correct answer. Let’s give them a clap. (Students will clap their hands)

Let’s proceed to Group 2.

(Group 3 representative will present their

work)

Q2: The red food coloring goes up. The

method of heat transfer is convection.
Job well done Group 2. You’ve got also
all the correct answers. Clap your hands (Students will clap their hands)
for them.

Let’s proceed to Group 3. (Group 4 representative will present their

work)

Q3: We feel the warm from the fire. The

heat transfers due to its radiation.
Good job, Group 3! You got the correct
answers. Let’s give them a clap. (Students will clap their hands)

Now, let’s proceed to the last group, the

Group 4.
(Students will clap their hands)

Great job, Group 4! You also got the

correct answers. Clap your hands for
them.

I am so glad that all of the group got the

correct answers. It seems that you really
understand the lesson. You all deserve a
big round of applause.

3. Abstraction For me, it is when the heat transfers from

one place to another.
Our topic for the day is “heat transfer”.
Now let’s start our discussion. First, what
comes to your mind when you heard the
word “heat transfer”?

Any idea, class?

Yes, Louise?
Remember: Heat transfers naturally flow
 from a body of higher temperature to a
Yes! That’s somehow correct in the sense body of a lower temperature.
that the heat is being transfer from one
body to another. A difference in temperature, Ma’am.

Heat transfer is a phenomenon related to

change in temperature or a change in the
relative hotness or coldness of an object.

Please read the “remember note” on the

screen.
The three methods are radiation,
conduction, and convection.
That’s right. Therefore, we can say that
for heat transfer to occur, there must be

Radiation is the transfer of heat in rays,

Yes, Martini? Yes Ma’am.

Okay, so what is radiation? Please read

Conduction is the transfer of heat

through direct contact. It occurs anytime
when objects of different temperatures
touch each other.

If the heat travels in all direction, it means

it’s a radiation. For example, the radiation
from the sun. You experience it, right?

All boys, please read what is conduction.

Ma’am, the spoon will not be hot.

So, we can say that as long as the

objects are in contact, the transfer of heat A conductor is a material that conducts

object equalizes or the same. One of the
examples, is the activity performed by
Group 2. If they don’t touch the spoon,
they will not feel the heat. And if the
spoon is not on top of the candle, what Insulator
will happen? Anyone?

Very good, Jose.

Wood, Styrofoam, Paper
We also have conductor. What is a
conductor, class? Please read.

Examples of good conductor are copper, It is the up and down movement of gases
silver, iron, and steel. and liquids caused by heat transfer.

If there is a conductor, what term is used

if it doesn’t transmit heat? It is called
what?

Right! It is the total opposite of conductor.

And what are the examples of an
insulator? Kindly read.

Okay. And the last method of heat

transfer is convection. What is
convection? Please read all girls.

As the gas or a liquid is heated, it warms

and expands, and rises because it is less
dense. When the gas or liquid cools, it
becomes denser and falls. As the gas or
liquid warms and rises, or cools and falls,
it creates a convection current.

Based on the picture shown, this is the

convection current. What is your
observation based on the picture? The red arrow goes up, while the blue
arrow is going down.

Anyone from the class? Yes Ma’am

Okay, Georgia?
None Ma’am

Good observation, Georgia! The red

arrow represents the as heated air rises,
it pulls the cooler air into its place, which
represents by the blue arrow, where the
latter can be heated, then rises and pulls
in more cool air.

Did you understand what is heat transfer

and its different methods?
It is an energy in transmit Ma’am in which
Any questions or clarifications regarding it transfers from a hot temperature to cold

That’s good to hear class.

4. Application

Since we are done discussing heat

transfer and its different methods. I want
to ask someone to give me the definition
of heat transfer.

Anyone? Shekinah?

Correct! Now, I am holding 3 pictures and

you are going to identify what method of
heat transfer is occurring.

Picture 1

Possible Answer:
Picture 1: Radiation
Picture 2: Conduction
Picture 3: Convection

Picture 2

Picture 3
