Teacher will elaborate that aside from

illumination, light can also give us “warmth”
which is related to heat.

Teacher will present the learning competency:

“Infer the conditions necessary for heat transfer
to occur.”

prior knowledge.

Teacher will ask the class:

● Can anyone describe a situation in which

Demonstration 1: Thermal Energy in Water

1. Two glasses will be prepared: one filled
with hot water and the other with cold
water.
2. Few drops of food color will be placed on
each water and the students will observe
what happens to the food color. Students will answer the questions based on what
they have observed.
Processing Questions: - The food color spread faster in hot water
● What is the difference between the compared to cold water.
- Since the water is hot, the particles are

● Why do you think they behaved - The hot water contains more energy
differently? because the particles are moving much
faster.
● Which of the two water samples contain
the greater thermal energy?

The teacher will emphasize the concept:

The greater the motion of particles, the higher the
thermal energy.

Teacher will ask the class:

● How do we measure thermal energy?

Teacher will review to the class the concept of

temperature:

energy in a system or in an object. If an object has a A selected student will answer:

has less energy and a lower temperature.

Teacher will ask the class:

● Can this energy be transferred from one
object to another?

A demonstration will be conducted to show how

energy is transferred between objects.

Demonstration 2: Hot and Cold Spoons

cold water will be prepared together with
two spoons.

spoon and feel its initial temperature. Students will answer the questions based on what

● Imagine holding an ice cube, how does
the ice feel on your hand?
● How do you think heat is being
transferred between your hand and the
ice?

● Is there direct contact between the hot
water and the cold water?
● In your own words, define how heat is
transferred thru convection.

After the activity, the teacher will facilitate the

discussion on the result of their experiments.

The teacher will also emphasize the following

concepts on heat transfer:
By conduction – conduction takes place when the
particles between objects are in contact and heat
transfers from hot object to cold object.
By convection – convection takes place only in
fluids when particles from hot material moves to
the cold material.
By radiation – radiation takes place when heat is
transferred by electromagnetic waves (no direct
contact)
