A Detailed Lesson Plan in Science III

I. Objectives: At the end of fifty minutes, the pupils will be able to:
1. differentiate opaque, translucent and transparent materials;
2. perform simple experiment with each kind of material;
3. give examples of opaque, translucent, and transparent materials.
II. Subject Matter: “Opaque, Translucent, and Transparent Materials”
Reference: Science Works! 3, pp.183-185
Materials: drawing, chart, real object, fax sheet, piece of cloth, flashlight
Value Focus: Thankfulness
III. Procedure:
Teacher’s Activity Pupils’ Activity
A. Preliminaries
1. Warm-up Song
Alright, Gian please lead an action song. (Gian leads an action song.)
2. Collecting Assignment
Pass your assignment forward. (Pupils do as told.)
B. Drill
Class let’s have first a short drill. Tell whether the
object is solid, liquid or gas. Raise your right hand if you
want to answer. Ready? Yes Ma’am.

perfume shampoo
Aistone Solid, gas, and liquid.

C. Review
What was your lesson in Science last meeting, class? Our lesson last meeting was all about natural resources.
What are examples of natural resources? Land, water, trees and animals Ma’am.
D. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
Name these three objects class.
( sunglass) (eyeglass) (eye cover) Sunglass. Eyeglass and eye cover Ma’am.
Alright may I call three pupils to come in front? (Three pupils volunteer.)
I want you to wear these objects.
Now what can you see? Pupil 1: (wearing eyeglass) I can see everything clearly
Ma’am.
Pupil 2: (wearing sunglasses) I see everything Ma’am, but
it’s dim.
Pupil 3: (wearing eye cover) I don’t see anything, Ma’am.

Alright, very well said you may sit down. (Three pupils sit down.)
Do you know what are these materials are called
class?
2. Presentation
2.1 This afternoon class, we will be having our
lesson about opaque, translucent, and transparent
materials.
2.2 all right, everybody sits properly and look at
the chart. Light can travel in a straight line and in all
directions. A good example to show that light can travel
in a straight line is through the formation of a shadow. A shadow is the dark part that is formed when the path of
Daniela, kindly read the meaning of shadow. light is blocked.
The light coming from the flashlight travels in a straight
line, as the light travels, it comes across different types of
materials.
23 There are materials that prevent the light from
passing through. These metals are called opaque
materials. When light is blocked by an opaque material a
shadow is formed.
Is human body an opaque material? Yes Ma’am.
Who can give another example of an opaque material? Wood, book, table etc.
That’s right!
2.4 There are also materials that partially allow lights to
pass through. These materials are called translucent
material.It forms lighter shadow.Some examples of
 Teacher’s Activity Pupils’ Activity
Translucent material are plastic bag, colored glass and
sunglass.
Do you have any other examples of translucent materials?
Alright verygood. Japanese paper Ma’am.
2.5 Last are materials that allow lights to pass through.
These materiasl are called transparent materials.Examples
of these materials are clear glass and reading glasses.
Do you have another examples of transparent materials? Water, plastic cover etc.
Correct! Those are examples of transparent materials.All
types of materials are used in our day-to-day activities.
Each material has its own use
For example if you are planning to build a house, which
type of roof you are going to use? Opaque, Traslucent or
transparent? Opaque materials Ma’am.
Why? So that the heat of the sun cannot pass through.
3. Practice Exercise
( Pupils will be grouped into three group)
Directions: Using the light from a flashlight,identify the kind of material is given to your group. After the short
experiment choose a reporter. Present in front the object given ,then explain what kind of material it is and why they are
said so?

4. Generalization
4.1 What are opaque materials class? Opaque materials are materials that prevent lights to
pass through.
How about translucent materials? Translucent materials allow lights to partially pass
through.
What are transparent materials? Transparent materials are those that allow lights to pass
through.
4.2 Values Integration
Is light important class? Yes Ma’am.
What if there’s no light? We cannot see anything.
Are we all thankful for seeing everything? Yes Ma’am.
To whom? To God, he creator Ma’am.
