DAY 1 Box
To elicit students’ prior knowledge, the teacher will: Pictures containing

brain) relation to the past
discussion
Mechanics of the Game:
1. The teacher will divide the class into two
groups.

raise their answer after 5 seconds.
4. The group that has more correct answers will be
declared the winner.

Activity: MODIFIED ORAL RECAPPING

1. It is a process which does not require any

external energy to occur. Heat flows normally
from higher temperature to lower
temperature. (Ans: Spontaneous)
2. Give an example of spontaneous
process. (Ans: Waterfalls)
3. This process happens when heat flows from
lower temperature to higher temperature. It
needs mechanical energy to occur.
(Ans: Nonspontaneous)
4. Give an example of nonspontaneous
process. (Ans: Making ice)
5. Second law of thermodynamics states that
heat will never flow itself from a cold
temperature to a hot temperature object,
but we can reverse the flow of heat by using

ENGAGE

 Applying modified “Set me free” (Group

activity)
 The class divided into two groups.
 Each group should have one opener, one
whistler and one member to say the word in
the class.
 The opener in the group will open the
covered box (containing the said topic & a
pulboron) as fast as they can.
 Then, one member will say the word after the
whistler made his/her signal when he/she is
done eating the pulboron.

Given words:

EXPLORE

PRE-DISCUSSION ABOUT THE TOPIC:

The teacher will show pictures about heat engine

and the two types of heat engines.

Q1. Based from the illustration, how will you

describe a heat engine?

(www.google.com)

Answer: A heat engine is a device that transforms

thermal energy into mechanical energy.
Heat engines – transfer heat from hot reservoir to
cold reservoir. It converts some of the thermal
energy into work.

3
Q2. What is its possible effect to the
environment?
Answer: It can contribute to the increase of the
carbon concentration to the atmosphere.

Q3. Based from the illustration, how will you describe

an internal combustion engine?

(www.google.com)
Answer: Internal combustion- If the fuel is burned
inside the engine chamber.
Ex. gasoline, diesel engine and our human body

(www.google.com)
 In a typical car engine, for example, there are
something like four to six separate cylinders
inside which gasoline is constantly burning
with oxygen to release heat energy. The
cylinders "fire" alternately to ensure the
engine produces a steady supply of power
that drives the car's wheels.

Q4. How will you describe an external combustion

engine?

(www.google.com)
 External combustion- When the fuel
combustion takes place outside the engine
Ex. steam, piston engine and the atmosphere

4
  A steam engine is a good example: there's a
coal fire at one end that heats water to make
steam.

(www.google.com)
 This is an external combustion engine
because the coal is burning outside and
some distance from the cylinder and piston.
 The steam is piped into a strong metal
cylinder where it moves a tight-fitting plunger
called a piston back and forth. The moving
piston powers whatever the engine is
attached to (maybe a factory machine or
the wheels of a locomotive).

Group Activity- Students will perform the given Activity sheet/LM

activity Stop watch
• Divide the class into 3 groups. Each group will Rubrics
choose their leader, secretary, reporter,
encourager and time keeper
• Instruct them to conduct the Activity entitled
“Heat Engines’’
Guide questions:
Group 1
1. What is Heat engine?
2. Describe a heat engine. How does it work?
Make a flow chart to explain how the heat
engine works.

Group 2
1. How will you describe an internal combustion
engine?
2. Give an example of internal combustion
engine.

DAY 2
ELABORATE
 Throwing direct questions, the discussion
process has to do with the presentation Students will watch the
activity video
 For us to visualize the types of heat https://tinyurl.com/yd3blfdf
engines, let us watch a video Power Point Presentation
Questions:
1. How will you differentiate the types of
heat engines?
(ANS.) In Internal heat engines the heat
source occurs inside the engine in its own
combustion chamber, like in jet engines
while external combustion occurs outside
the engine like in a steam engine

2. In the cycle of a heat engine, what are

the three things that happen?
(ANS.) Heat is added, some of the energy
from that input heat is used to perform
work and heat is removed at a relatively
cold temperature.
 Teachers will now synthesize and
conceptualize the lesson
 Interactive activity, letting someone
briefly generalized the discussion, whether
to be agreed by the others or not.

Key concept:
Post-Discussion
 Heat engines are devices that use heat to
do work. A basic heat engine consists of a
gas confined by a piston in a cylinder. If
the gas is heated, it expands, moving the
piston. This wouldn't be a particularly
practical engine, though, because once

6
 the gas reaches equilibrium the motion
would stop.
 A practical engine goes through cycles;
the piston has to move back and forth.
Once the gas is heated, moving the
piston up, it can be cooled and the piston
will move back down. A cycle of heating
and cooling will move the piston up and
down.
 A necessary component of a heat
engine, then, is that two temperatures are
involved. At one stage the system is
heated, at another it is cooled. In a full
cycle of a heat engine, three things
happen:
1. Heat is added. This is at a relatively high
temperature, so the heat can be called
QH.
2.Some of the energy from that input heat
is used to perform work (W).
3.The rest of the heat is removed at a
relatively cold temperature (QC).

 Heat Engine Efficiency - relates how

much useful work is output for a given
amount of heat energy input.
