Lesson Title/ Topic: Conduction of Heat
Name: Grade & Section:

I. Activity 3: First Come, First Serve (30 minutes)

II. Objectives: Demonstrate heat conduction in a solid object.

III. Materials Needed: Metal spoon, 5 paper clips, candle, matchbox

IV. Procedure:

handle of the spoon as shown above. Use five paper clips of different colors.
2. Using the matchbox light the candle.
3. Place the candle flame on one end of the metal spoon. Heat the free end of the spoon until
all candle wax have melted.

Put safety gloves/protection when holding the spoon.

Guide questions:
1. What happened to the paper clips?

2. Did the paper clips fell at the same time?

3. If not, which paper clip fell first? Why do you think so?

4. What can you say about the atoms and molecules of the spoon? How does heat travels in a
solid material?

Learning Area: Science Quarter: 3rd Quarter

Lesson No.: 8 Date:
Lesson Title/ Topic: Convection of Heat
Name: Grade & Section:

I. Activity 4: Round and Round We Go (30 minutes)

II. Objectives:
1. Demonstrate how heat transfer by convection occurs.
2. Determine the direction of the convection current

III. Materials Needed: Hot water in a thermos, ice-cold water in a thermos or aqua flask, red
food coloring, blue food coloring, 2 index cards (4” x 6”), 4 transparent jars or beakers of the
same size, table spoon

IV. Procedure:
Set up 1
1. Pour hot water to the brim on one of the jars. Add the red food
coloring liquid and stir using a spoon.
2. Pour cold water to the brim on one of the glasses. Add the blue
food coloring liquid and stir using a spoon.
3. Place an index card over the mouth of the hot water glass. Turn
it upside down while holding to the index card. Place it on top
of the cold water so that the two jars are positioned mouth to
mouth with only the index card separating them.
4. Slowly remove the index card in between the two glasses. Hold
onto the top of the glass when you remove the index card.
Set up 2
5. Repeat the procedure, using the two other jars, but this time
place the jar with the cold water on top of the hot water jar.

Guide questions:
1. What happens to the colored liquids in the two glasses in Set up 1?

2. What happens to the colored liquids in the two glasses in Set up 2?

3. What was the use of the food coloring in our activity?

4. What is the direction of convection current in liquids and gases?

5. How do convection currents move in liquids and gases?

II. Objectives: Come up with findings and proposed solution on the problem of potential heat
loss or gain in a home or a classroom.

III. Materials Needed: pen and paper

IV. Procedure:
1. Divide yourselves into group of fours.
2. Make a careful and detailed examination of the design, appliances used, materials used in
a home or in a classroom. (you can choose the house of one of the groupmates).
3. Examine them for potential heat gain or heat loss in connection with heat transfer.
4. After a careful listing and evaluation by your group, come up with your proposed
solutions on how to save energy and the integrity of the house or building.
5. You will be given one week end to do this study and present your findings in class when
we meet again next week.
6. Citations will be given to the group who can come up with most creative innovative
solutions.
7. You can consider these when you inspect your chosen house or classroom.
a. Conduction: Does the house use insulating materials for walls and attics to reduce
heat loss?
b. Convection: Does the house or classroom seal gaps and cracks around windows and
doors to prevent drafts?
c. Radiation: Does the home or building use reflective window films or shades to reduce
heat gain from the sun?

Guide questions:
1. How can understanding heat transfer help us save energy and reduce utility bills?

2. Why is it important to conserve energy both for the environment and our finances?
