COMPETENCY daily life situations.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
The scientific method is a logical way of coming up with a solution to a given
problem based on keen observations and baseline data.

Study and analyze the situation below.


Jose was instructed together with the other ALS
learners to plant okra seeds for their “My Pet Plant
project”. Jose planted ten (10) okra seeds using an
empty plastic bottles while the rest of his classmates
planted it also using the same set up. They were
asked to take pictures of their project every week for
one (1) month.

Jose observed that his okra seeds are shorter in height compared to the ones
planted by his classmates.

What have caused the difference in terms of the height of the okra seeds they
have planted for their individual project? He researched about growing plants using
seeds and asked his classmates how they plant and nurture their okra plant as it
grows. He learned that for plants to grow, it needs sufficient sunlight, fertile soil, air,
and water to grow healthily. He repeated doing the experiment, applied what he
learned and did several observations.

I.CONCEPT NOTES
Collecting data is one of the processes needed in gathering data or information to
address pressing questions related to the identified problem. It also helps achieve good
results in problem solving and in decision making.

At present, collection of data can be done through observation. The use of senses
especially sense of sight is needed in this form of gathering data. The use of checklist,
and survey questionnaires is also another way of collecting data. Asking questions
virtually or through online interview is encouraged at present rather than doing it in face
to face. This can be done using apps such as Google Meet, Zoom or messenger. Focus
group discussion is also another way to obtain data before analyzing and interpreting it
to come up with a good conclusion. Use of pictures and video clips are also good
methods of data collection.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
Recording data is an important part of the scientific method. If data is not recorded
correctly, the accuracy of results is affected, and may require repetition of the experiment.
In measurement for example, it is crucial for the recorder to include the unit, not just the
figure or number. If you record the temperature of air, for example, a thermometer is used,
and it must be expressed in degree Celsius (˚C). In measuring the height of plants, it can
be expressed in centimeter (cm) or meter (m).

Cagayan de Oro City is the city of golden friendship and opportunities. It is in the
northern part of Mindanao. Many people from provinces and rural areas go to Cagayan
de Oro City because it serves as a gateway in the island of Mindanao. It is composed
more or less of 37 barangays (urban and rural). Different malls and establishments
(banks, churches, schools, commercial spaces, wet markets, grocery stores etc.) are
found in this City. It also serves the people with different types of job opportunities.
However, due to the rise of human population in Cagayan de Oro City, the place
has also become overcrowded, polluted, and where traffic is heavy. In some parts of
this city, you will see squatter’s area. There are people who sleep on the streets. You
will even see plenty of children playing in the side streets of this city.
At present, many families have been facing economic crisis due to the pandemic.
Some families opted to practice birth control methods to limit the number of children in
the family due to smaller family income which do not suffice the needs of the families.
With the rising number of COVID-19 positive cases in the city, the local government
faced a great challenged in addressing the arising issue caused by Coronavirus which
is also a global issue. Economy and employment are affected including the business
and education sectors.

Water is a form of matter that exist in three (3) different phases. It can be solid in the
form of ice, liquid which is for drinking and washing, which has considerably no taste and is
odorless, and gas in the form of water vapor. In the absence of liquid water, all living things
will cease to exist. Water replenishes the lost body fluids and is important in different cellular
processes. There are three (3) ways to make water safe to drink. These include boiling,
filtering, and chlorination.

Boiling of water
- Is the easiest and cheapest way in purifying water which
requires heat
- It kills bacteria, viruses, pathogens etc.
- The time for boiling water is approximately 3 to 5 minutes
and it should be covered and cooled after.

Filtration
- This method includes the elimination of solid particles present in
water while the liquid portion is stored to allow precipitate to settle
at the bottom of the container.
- Filtering water can be done with the use of a clean cloth, paper
towel or filter paper or with a funnel and storing the liquid portion it
in a clean container.
- Filtered water can be further treated using other ways to make
water more potable for drinking.

Chlorination
- Chlorine is a common chemical which is used by people to treat
water for consumption.
- This process is suitable for disinfection and sanitization of water.
Six (6) to eight (8) drops of chlorine is usually added to a given
volume of water and allowing the mixture to stand for 30 minutes.

I. CONCEPT NOTES

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce their own food in the form of
glucose (simplest sugar) with oxygen (gas for inhalation) as another by product. This
occurs in the presence of sunlight as carbon dioxide and water combine during the
reaction. Chlorophyll, the green pigment in the leaves of the plants, traps the solar energy
from the sun which drives the whole food-making process. The solar energy is transformed
to chemical energy as food (glucose) is produced. The reaction can be summarized using
the chemical equation below:

Process of Photosynthesis

produces two daughter cells which are identical to its parent cell. It is a process which does
not involve sex cells or
gametes. It is important for
growth, maintenance and
repair of cells. It includes five
stages: interphase, prophase,
metaphase, anaphase and
telophase. It occurs in
eukaryotic cells, Eukaryotic
cells are cells that contain
true nuclei and membrane-
bound organelles, enclosed in
a plasma membrane.
II. EXERCISES
Direction: Arrange the following stages of mitosis from the first to the last stage. Based your
answers on the diagram shown above. Write only the numbers (1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6) on the space
provided.

______a. Chromosomes line up along the equatorial plates. A spindle fiber for each side
attaches to a sister chromatid, to equally divide the chromosomes.
______b. The chromatin condensed into tight chromosomes. The centrioles begin moving
towards the opposite ends and spindle fibers begin to form.
______c. Chromosomes begin to unwind into chromatin. The spindle fibers dissolve and a
nuclear membrane form around the chromatin.
______d. The centromere split apart, and the sister chromatids are now called chromosomes
which are pulled by spindle fibers to either end of the cell.
______e. Before the division take place, a cell must copy its own set of chromosomes. DNA
replicates.
______f. The cytoplasm begins to divide and the cell membrane pinches, forming two
identical cells, each with a full set of chromosomes.

I. CONCEPT NOTES

Ecological relationships describe the different relationships of interacting organisms in a


community or ecosystem. These relationships include predation, parasitism, commensalism,
and mutualism. The presence of a predator who feeds on prey is called predation. An example
is when a snake (predator) eats a frog (prey) for food. On the other hand, when a parasite
such as a headlice, lives in the part of a body of an organism (host) to survive, the lice is
benefitted while the host is harmed. This manifest parasitism.
Commensalism is observed in a growing orchid and tree. Both are not harmed nor
benefits from each other. Mutualism is manifested when organisms benefit from each other. An
example is observed among flowers and bees.

Explain the advantage of high biodiversity in maintaining the stability of an ecosystem

I. CONCEPT NOTES

Biodiversity refers to a variety of organisms living in different ecosystems. It falls into


three categories: species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. The more
plant and animal species found in various ecosystems, the greater is the variety of its
species which ensures sustainability and stability of the ecosystems. The more stable and
sustainable the ecosystems are, the greater is its ability to withstand and recover from
unpredictable phenomena.
High biodiversity ensures more protection of various resources such as food, building
materials, fuel, and water, etc. It also suffices the needs of the population to maintain and
sustain life. It also helps in the process of waste decomposition, moderation, and stabilization
of climate. It also allows for proper cycling of nutrients and allows other processes to take
place such as pollination, soil fertility, air and water purification, and pest control. It can also
provide other forms of services such as tourism, research, and forms of recreation for
mankind.

COMPETENCY
Discuss how energy from the sun interacts with the layers of the atmosphere.
I.CONCEPT NOTES
Atmosphere is a thick blanket of gas that covers the Earth. It acts as a shield of protection
from meteors that could crash Earth’s surface. Also, it protects us from the ultraviolet radiation
from the sun. It is divided into five layers. These are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere,
thermosphere, and exosphere.
Layers of the
Earth’s Atmosphere Description
It contains 75% of the gases and it is the layer nearest to the Earth . Dust
Troposphere and water vapor are present in this layer. Also, it is where weather occurs.
It contains the ozone layer which keeps the harmful rays from the sun
Stratosphere reaching Earth’s surface. Hence, the ozone layer that serves as UV
protection, becomes thinner.
Mesosphere It is the coldest layer in the atmosphere.
Thermosphere It is considered the “hot layer” because it contains the warmest
temperatures in the atmosphere. It absorbs solar energy which makes
its temperature increase rapidly with altitude.
Exosphere Located above the thermosphere. It is the outermost layer of the
atmosphere. It’s about 500km to around 3,000 km above the Earth.

The Earth’s atmosphere interacts with the energy coming from the sun. The passage of solar
radiation is controlled by the Earth’s atmosphere. Some of this energy is reflected back into the
space upon striking the outermost layers of the atmosphere, and some is either absorbed or
scattered by atmospheric gases, vapors and dust particles. This solar radiation warms the Earth
surface and the Earth’s atmosphere provides a habitable climate.

LAS TITLE Earthquakes LAS NO. 46 SCORE


LEARNING Differentiate the epicenter of an earthquake from its focus, intensity of an earthquake from its magnitude
COMPETENCY and active and inactive faults

I. CONCEPT NOTES
An earthquake is an unpredictable event in nature caused by the movement of plates
along convergent, divergent or transform plate boundaries. This is mainly the effect of
convection current, in the earth’s mantle which causes the rise of hot materials (magma) as it
spreads sidewards, and subducts as it becomes denser (subduction).

The area where an earthquake starts is called a focus. The point just above the focus
is the epicenter. It is the area where the greatest trembling or shaking of the ground and
most damages are experienced. Magnitude refers to how strong an earthquake is. Intensity
refers to the degree of damages caused by an earthquake. Active faults are areas where
occurrences of earthquakes are felt while inactive faults are points where there is no record
of earthquakes that took place yet.

I. EXERCISES
Write TRUE if the statement contains correct concepts pertaining to an earthquake and
FALSE if it does not. Write your answers on the space provided before each number.
________1. Earthquakes occur first at the epicenter.
________2. The strength of an earthquake is called intensity.

LEARNING
COMPETENCY
Explain how a volcanic eruption occurs

I. CONCEPT NOTES
Volcanic eruption occurs when magma (molten rock) in the mantle rises to the
surface of Earth and is thrown out through the crater or vent of a volcano. Magma is formed
when one plate sinks (oceanic plate) while colliding (convergent) or sliding past with another
plate (transform) or when two plates separate apart (divergent). The plate that goes to the
mantle, melts and forms part of the magma. Magma is less dense than the solid rocks in the
mantle, and so it rises. As the magma rises, gas bubbles form. The thicker the magma, the
more violent and destructive the volcanic eruption becomes. This is due to the gas bubbles
which could not easily escape from it. The other way which could lead to an eruption, is
when the water in the underground, mixes with the magma in the mantle, forming a steam.
Build up of pressure would cause a volcanic eruption to happen. When magma reaches the
earth’s surface, it is called lava.

II. EXERCISES

Arrange the following events in chronological order from the first to the last process of
volcanic eruption. Assign with numbers 1-5 with 1 as the first event and 5 as the last.

________1. Lava reaches the ground.


________2. The oceanic plate/crust sinks as it collides with the continental crust.
________3. Magma rises to the opening of a volcano when too much pressure builds up.
________4. The subducting oceanic crust melts as it reaches the mantle, and forms part of
the magma.
________5. The lava that flows, go sideways and spread.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
Weather is a condition of the atmosphere in a particular area at a given time. It can be
windy, hot or rainy. It changes within the day. Say for example, the weather in the morning
might not be the same in the afternoon.
There are factors that influence weather.
1. Solar Radiation - The sun’s solar radiation that reaches the Earth varies. As the Earth
orbits around the sun, the distance between the two changes. Also, tilting of the planet affects
weather for it determines the amount of heat that part of the planet would receive.
2. Latitude Location - Location on the Earth affects weather. Weather in the areas near
the equator does not change much for it receives the same amount of sunlight. Whereas,
areas far from the equator would receive more or less amount of sunlight depending on the
season.
3. Abundance of Water - Areas near bodies of water are usually wetter compared to
desert. Also, large bodies of water would create wind as temperature differs between land and
water.
4. Air Pressure and Temperature - The difference between hotter and cooler pockets of
air or fronts influenced air pressure. When the temperature of these pockets are very different,
they would try to mix together and create movements and pressure. When they are not very
different, it would result in fewer weather effects.
Daily changes in weather conditions are resulted from winds and storms. Whereas,
seasonal changes are resulted from the Earth’s revolution around the sun.

II.EXERCISES
Directions: Observe the weather in your place from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning and 2:00

COMPETENCY Describe the effects of typhoons

I. CONCEPT NOTES
Typhoon, also called a tropical cyclone, is a storm experienced by regions in Indian
or west Pacific oceans. In other areas, it is called a hurricane. It is characterized by an air
mass that rotates around a central part called “eye”. This eye has a low pressure area. In
the Philippines, typhoons are called “bagyo”.
Typhoons are formed when moisture from oceans is pulled by strong winds. Then,
the thunderstorms, that started off already, convert the moisture into heat. This heat will
cause more air to flow to the center of the storm that causes evaporation. The heat and
air flow, that flows toward the eye,create typhoons.
As a typhoon moves on land, it’s wind can speed up from 118-149 km/h, 150 km/h
for severe typhoons or 190 km/h for super typhoons. Thus, this would bring positive and
negative effects on people, plants, animals, infrastructures and etc. These are the
following effects of typhoon:
Positive Effects Negative Effects
1. It brings rainfall to areas needing it. 1. Many people may lose their lives and
properties.
2. It breaks up bacteria and red tide in
bodies of water. 2. Trees will be uprooted.
3. It balances heat around the globe. 2. Buildings and infrastructures might be

COMPETENCY
Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in a particular atom.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
The atom is the smallest unit of matter that is composed of three sub-atomic particles:
the proton, the neutron, and the electron. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of
the atom, a dense and positively charged core, whereas the negatively charged electrons
can be found around the nucleus in an electron cloud.
Study how to determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in a particular
atom:
Number of Protons: atomic number
8 8
Atomic # P= 8
O Atomic Symbol O
Oxygen Name Oxygen Number of Neutron: mass # - atomic #
15.999 Atomic mass 15.999 N= 16 - 8= 8

Number of electrons: atomic # - charge


Round the atomic mass to the nearest
e= 8 - 0= 8
# to get the atomic #. Example: 15.999
so the atomic number now is 16.

Protons are positively charged particles found within atomic nuclei.


Neutrons are uncharged particles found within all atomic nuclei. A neutron's mass is
slightly larger than that of a proton.
Electrons have a negative charge and are electrically attracted to the positively charged
protons. Electrons surround the atomic nucleus in pathways called orbitals.

LAS TITLE Development of the Periodic Table LAS NO. 58 SCORE
LEARNING Trace the development of the periodic table from observations based on similarities in properties of
COMPETENCY elements

I. CONCEPT NOTES ONLY.


The Development of Periodic Table
Year
1862 French geologist Alexandre-Emile Béguyer de Chancourtois plotted the atomic weights of
elements on paper tape and wound them, spiral like, around a cylinder. The design put similar
elements onto corresponding points above and below one another. He called his model the
telluric helix or screw.
1864 English chemist John Newlands noticed that, if the elements were arranged in order of
atomic weight, there was a periodic similarity every 7 elements. He proposed his ‘law of octaves’
– similar to the octaves of music. Noble gases had yet to be discovered, which is why Newland’s
table had a periodicity of 7 rather than 8.
1868 Lothar Meyer compiled a periodic table of 56 elements based on a regular repeating pattern of
physical properties such as molar volume. Once again, the elements were arranged in order of
increasing atomic weights. (Meyer’s work was not published until 1870.)
1869 Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev produced a periodic table based on atomic weights but
arranged ‘periodically’. Elements with similar properties appeared under each other. Gaps were
left for yet to be discovered elements.
1894 William Ramsay discovered the noble gases and realized that they represented a new group in
the periodic table. The noble gases added further proof to the accuracy of Mendeleev’s table.
1913 Henry Moseley determined the atomic number of each of the known elements. He realized that,
if the elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic number rather than atomic weight,
they gave a better fit within the ‘periodic table’.
1928 Amateur French scientist Charles Janet uses mathematical patterns to investigate
the electron configuration of elements. He groups elements into blocks named after their atomic
orbitals: s-block (sharp), p-block (principal), d-block (diffuse) and f-block (fundamental).
1944 Glenn Seaborg proposed an ‘actinide hypothesis’ and published his version of the table in 1945.
The lanthanide and actinide series form the two rows under the periodic table of elements.
There is no need to copy the periodic table below.

LEARNING
COMPETENCY
Use the periodic table to predict the chemical behavior of an element

I. CONCEPT NOTES
It is called Periodic Table not just because it is a table of the elements, but because it
is arranged to reflect the periodic trends of the elements.

The first trend in Periodic table is Atomic


radius is half the distance between two
identical atoms touching each other.
- atomic radius increases as you move
right to left
- atomic radius increases as you move
down

The second trend is Electron Affinity is the ability of an atom to accept an electron. It
is measured by the energy change in the atom as an electron is added to the gaseous form
of the atom.
- electron affinity increases as you move left to right
- electron affinity decreases as you move down

The third trend is Electronegativity is the measure of attraction between the atom’s
nucleus and electrons in a chemical bond. In general, the higher the electronegativity, the
stronger the force of attraction between bonded electron and the atom nucleus.
- electronegativity increases as you move left to right across the table
- electronegativity decreases as you move down the table

The fourth trend is Ionization Energy is the energy needed to remove an electron
from a gaseous atom. The tighter the nucleus holds an electron, the more energy needed to
remove it.
- ionization energy increases as you move left to right across the table
- ionization energy decreases as you move down the table

II. EXERCISES

Using the trends in periodic table as guide, underline the correct answer.

1. Has higher electron affinity: Neon or Argon.


2. Has lighter electronegativity: Gold or Silver.
3. Has higher ionization energy: Iron or Copper.
4. Has higher atomic radios: Manganese or Magnesium.
5. Has lower electronegativity: Lead or Platinum.

COMPETENCY materials production, control of fire, pollution and corrosion.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of
chemical substances to another. Chemical reactions happen at a characteristic reaction rate
at a given temperature and chemical concentration. Typically, reaction rates increase with
increasing temperature because there is more thermal energy available to reach the
activation energy necessary for breaking bonds between atoms.
Rate of reaction is the rate at which chemical reaction proceeds or how slow and fast
the reaction occurs.

Chemical Reaction in food when it spoils and is preserved


Example of Food Spoilage and how it affects the food:
1. Air and Oxygen- It can provide conditions that will enhance the growth of microorganisms
and may cause damage to food with the help of enzymes and it can cause oxidation.
2. Microorganisms- Molds and most yeast that cause food to spoil require oxygen to grow.
They can often be found growing on the surface of foods when air is present.

Chemical Reaction in controlling fire:


1. Uses of Fire Extinguisher- The active chemical material of fire extinguisher are
potassium bicarbonate, liquid water, an evaporating fluorocarbon of the propelling
agent itself. In fire extinguisher specifically dry chemical hat is effective on class A, B
and C fires, this agent also works by creating a barrier between the oxygen element
and the fuel element on class A fires.

Chemical Reactions in environment:


1. Uses of gases and fuels to let the car run
2. Spoiling of food
3. Various factory rely on manufacturing goods
4. Cooking of food
5. Burning woods or any that cause smoke.

LEARNING
COMPETENCY
Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance or displacement.

I. CONCEPT NOTES
Distance is the measurement of length between two points and does not have
direction. It is scalar quantity and thus, no negative sign.
Distance (d) = |Xf - Xi| (absolute value of the difference)

Displacement is the change in position of an object in a specific direction. It is a vector


quantity and thus, it can be positive or negative depending on the change of direction.
Displacement (ΔX) = Xf - Xi where, Xf refers to the valve in final position
Xi refers to the value in initial position

Example A. Find the distance and displacement of the given figure below
Xi Xf

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Distance (d) = |Xf - Xi| = |6-(-4)| = |6+4| = |10| = 10
Displacement (ΔX) = Xf - Xi = 6-(-4) = +10 (positive since going to the positive direction)
Thus, the distance and displacement of two points in a number is 10 going to the right
or positive
Example B. Find the distance and displacement of the given figure below
Xi Xf

-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Distance (d) = |Xf - Xi| = |-2-5)| = |-2+(-5)| = |-7| = 7 [absolute value of negative is always
positive (+)]
Displacement (ΔX) = Xf - Xi = -2-5) = -7 (negative since going to the negative direction)

Thus, the distance and displacement of two points in a number line is 7 going to the left
or negative direction.

LEARNING Demonstrate the applications of laws of motion in: a. Linear motion (e.g. a running man on a

I.CONCEPT NOTES

Laws of Motion are laws concerning the relationships among forces acting on a body
and its motion due to these forces. It is authored by Sir Isaac Newton.

The 3 Laws of Motion is stated as follows:


1. Objects at rest will stay at rest, and object in motion will stay in motion unless it is
acted by an external force. This is called the Law of Inertia.
2. The force from an object is equal to the product of its mass and its acceleration. This
is called the Law of Acceleration.
3. In every action that is done, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is called as
Law of Action and Reaction, or Law of Interaction.

Figure 1 shows the Laws of Motion which applies to the


third law (Law of Action and Reaction). A person who is
running on the straight line pushes back and down on the
ground and at the same time, the ground pushes him
back in return.

Figure 1: Laws of Motion in a Straight Line

Figure 2 shows the Laws of Motion in a Circular


Motion which applies to the second law (Law of
Acceleration). In this figure, force is applied to spin the
bike wheel. If you exert a greater force on it, there is a
greater angular acceleration result. The bike will have
an angular acceleration if it is massive.
Angular acceleration will also smaller if we push on the
spoke nearer to the axle.

COMPETENCY Describe the different types of charging processes.

I. CONCEPT NOTES

Electric current is the flow of charged particles from one region to another.

Electric charge is defined as charge of electrons, protons, and other subatomic


particles.
Electrons are negative charge particles while protons are positive charge particles.

There are three types of charging processes: charging by friction, charging by


conduction, and charging by induction.

Charging by friction is a type of charging process when an object is rubbed over


another object and electrons will easily transfer from object to another. This is due to friction
from the two objects. The object that transfers electrons loses negative charge (electrons)
and the object that accepts will gain negative charge (electrons).

Charging by conduction is done when an uncharged object is charged by having in


contact with another charged object. The uncharged object will have a negative charge
because it gains electrons. The charged object will lose its electrons and have positively
charged.

Charging by induction is a type of charging process when an uncharged object is


charged by bringing it near to another object without touching it. The nearer end will have a
charge opposite to the charge on charge conductors and two bodies attract.

II. EXERCISES

In the space provided, write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if not.

___________1.In the process, charging by friction, an object is brought near to another


object without touching.
___________2. Because of friction, the object that accepts electrons will have negative

___________3. With the use of charging by conduction, an uncharged object is charged by
making it contact with another charged object.
___________4. When we use charging by induction, we will rub the object over the other to
transfer electrons.
___________5. In conduction as a charging process, the charged object will lose its
electrons and will have positive charge.

COMPETENCY Explain the hierarchy of colors in relation to energy

I. CONCEPT NOTES

The electromagnetic spectrum describes all kinds of light, as well as those that are
invisible to the human eye. Most of the light in the universe cannot be seen through our eyes.
The section of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye is called
the visible light spectrum. The most important characteristic of visible light is its
color.
There are seven colors in the visible light spectrum namely: red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo, and violet.
WAVELENGTH

620-750nm
The colors of visible light
590-620nm carry a different amount of
570-590nm
energy.
Violet has the shortest
495-570nm
wavelength and, therefore,
495-570 nm carries the most energy,
450-495nm
whereas red has the
longest wavelength and
380-450nm
carries the least amount of
energy.

Hierarchy of Colors in relation to Energy

II. EXERCISES

In the space provided, write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if not.

__________1. The colors of visible light carry the same amount of energy.
__________2. The indigo has short wavelength and therefore it carries more energy.
__________3. Red has the longest wavelength and it carries the least amount of energy.
__________4. Blue has more energy than green since it has a shorter wavelength
compared to green.
__________5. The second color that has longer wavelength is orange and it carries less
energy next to the red.

Enumerate uses of light, sound, heat, and electricity.

I. CONCEPT NOTES

Sound is a wave made by vibrations of an object which results in the movement of


air particles. Its uses are ultrasound, echolocation, levitation, noise cancellation, stabilizing
brain waves, revealing natural geometry, growing food, healing wounds, boiling water, and
curing cancer.
Light refers to electromagnetic radiation which can be seen in the human eye. Its
uses are as food (through photosynthesis from sunlight), for vitamin D synthesis, growth of
the body, regulation of physiology, vision and sight, Temperature, sleep regulation, drying
and evaporation, sanitation of earth, source of electric energy, for chemical analysis by
spectroscopy, signal system, and sterilization.
Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from two objects of different
temperatures. Its uses are for photosynthesis, enzyme reactions, water cycle, chemical
reactions, automobile motion, cooking, electricity generation from solar and earth, melting
and molding of metals, drying, sterilization, and incubation to grow birds in the eggs.
Electricity is referred to as the flow of electrons, energy used to power electrical or
machines. People use electricity for entertainment, healthcare, engineering, transport and
communication, outdoors, household, commercial, office, fuel, and space.
