Learning Area Science
Grade Level 8
B. Performance Standard: Learning Competency/ies:
The learners shall be able to practice safety in The learners should be able to:
handling electrical devices.
S8 30FE – Ii - 33
Explain the functions of circuit breakers, fuses,
earthing, double insulation, and other safety
devices in the home.
Objective/s:
Describe a fuse and a circuit breaker and identify
their functions in a circuit.
Recall from the previous lesson electrical appliances that contain heating element.
Let the students read the objective of the lesson.
Let the students discuss among themselves the answers on the question, “What do you think is the
effect of electric shock in the human body. Why is electrical safety important?
Ask: How many of you have seen a fuse or a circuit breaker at home? Did you ever wonder why a fuse
is needed in your electrical connections? Today we will handle a fuse and determine its function.
Group the students and let them Do the activity on Blowing a Fuse, Lesson Guide Grade 8 First Quarter
pp. 136 – 137.
Case 1
1. What two things were observed when the switch was closed?
Case 2
1. What three things were observed when a short wire was
connected as shown in the diagram?
2. What could have caused the rising and falling of current in the
wire in case 2?
3. Describe the result when there was reduced resistance in the
circuit.
4. Identify the case that occurred
5. Explain why the bulb went off.
6. What is the role of the fuse in the circuit?
Presentation, Discussion, Processing of questions.
Match the names to its picture and to its function.
Fuse -it is a thin piece of wire that will melt and break the circuit if too
large a current flows through it and it protect the wiring and the equipment.
 Circuit Breaker - is an electronic circuit that will switch
off the current if it is too great and is used to protect the user if the casing of the
equipment becomes live.

Grounding - is a method of giving electricity

the most effect way to return to the service panel;it is a path for electrical current to
return safely to ground without danger to anyone in the event of a short circuit.
Key Concepts:
Fuses and circuit breakers are both devices that 'break' if the current through them is too large.
A fuse is usually a thin piece of wire that will melt and break the circuit if too large a current flows
through it. The thicker the wire the more current is needed to melt it and the higher the 'rating' of the
fuse. The purpose of a fuse is to protect the wiring and the equipment.
A circuit breaker is an electronic circuit that will switch off the current if it is too great. Such a circuit is
designed to operate much more quickly than a fuse and so the damage is less because the current is
switched off in a much shorter time. Circuit breakers are often used to protect the user if the casing of
the equipment becomes live. They break the circuit before the person using the equipment gets a near
fatal shock.
Grounding is a method of giving electricity the most effect way to return to the service panel. The ground
wire is an additional path for electrical current to return safely to ground without danger to anyone in the
event of a short circuit. In that instant, the short would cause the current to flow through the ground wire,
causing a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to trip.
An ungrounded electrical box, appliance, power tool, or extension cord could become a danger if there
is no path to ground, except through you.
Why is it dangerous to use copper strip or wire in place of a safety fuse that blows out?
Why do we need to be protected from the danger in electricity?

I. Evaluation of Learning Direction: Write the word SAFE if the statement is true and DANGER if the statement is wrong.
1. Fuses and circuit breakers are both devices that 'break' if the current through them is too large.
( safe )
2. A fuse is usually a thick piece of wire that will melt and break the circuit if too little amount of current
flows through it. (danger)
3. Grounding is a method of giving electricity the most effect way to return to the service panel. (safe)
4. Electrical safety tips need to be observed frequently. (danger)
5. A properly grounded circuit has boxes, devices, and service panel grounds that give the electrical
current the easiest path to ground and that reduces the chances of someone getting a shock or
getting electrocuted. (safe)
J. Additional activities for application or Make a research on Octopus Wiring.
