3. T questions Ss on their understanding on the
term ultrasound and asks for examples Ss see in
daily life.
4. T shares different areas that utilize ultrasound.
5. Back to the lego ultrasonic sensors, T shares the
technical information with the Ss.
Step 2 Activity 1 1. Recommended acitivity 1(in the module) Students learn it
through the module.
2. Utilizing port view in EV3 block, Ss measures
the distance from ultrasonic sensor to an object.
(20 minutes)
3. Mark the 20cm, 40cm and 60cm range.
T guide the Ss that

pen/marker to block and mark down whenever
it reaches a specific value (20cm, 40cm or
 60cm)
5. This activity requires Ss to hold the sensor in
permanent position and utilize pen/pencil or
bigger object to obstruct the view.
6. By marking at different location, Ss plot the
lines for 20cm, 40cm and 60cm.
7. Alternatively, students apply loop block that
they learned from the last lesson
