but blocks direct current
(DC) except for avery short
charging current, called
transient current.

 Very good Ron. I am very glad that

you still have remebered our lesson.
Now let’s all proceed to our next
topic.

C. Motivation

 I have here prepared a couple of • (student’s get resistor and

 resistors. People at the front seats examine it.)
get 1 from here and see for yourself
what a resistor looks like then pass
it to your back after so that the
others can also see what a resistor
is.

 After you have all seen the resistor  (video clip is shown and
kindly return it on the front and student’s are watching)
settle down. I am going to show you
a very short video clip about a
resistor.

D. Objective Setting

 Settle down class and I want you all

to listen carefully to our discussion
because at the very end of our
lesson, you are expected to define
what is a resistor, determine the
correct value of each color band in
finding resistor’s resistance value
and tolerance, calculate the
resistance value and tolerance of a
resistor through color coding and
develop a good attitude in
determining the resistance value and
tolerance of a resistor through color
coding.

E. Presentation

 Now after examining the resistor that  Fred: It is very tiny Ma’am
I have given you and based on the and it has different colors.
video shown, what can you notice
about a resistor?

 Yes, very good Fred! Resistor has

different color on it’s body and that
colors represent the resistance value
and tolerance of a resistor and that
is what we are going to discuss
today. How to determine the
resistance value and tolerance of a
 resistor through its color codes.

F. Discussion

 Resistor is one of the basic electronic  Harry: It is a circuit

component. Now what is a resistor? component that resist

in an electrical circuit.

 Thank you! Harry. So resistor resist

circuit. It’s function is in it’s name.
Resistor, resist.

 Hannah please read the other  Hannah: The unit of

meaning of resistor shown on the measure for resistance is

represented by the Greek
letter Ω.

 Thank you Hannah. And there are  The different types of

many different types of resistor. And resistors are the wire
what are those types Luna? wound resistor, carbon
composition resistor,
carbon film resistor,
variable resistor, metal
oxide resistor and metal
film resistor.

 Very good! Luna. And the resistor

that I have shown to you is an
example of a carbon film resistor.
 Resistors are marked by using
different colored rings around their
body as what Fred had said earlier.
These colored rings are used to
indicate the resistance value and
tolerance of a resistor. And there are
steps in determining the value of a
resistor. But before I introduce to
you these steps I am going to you
first a table of colors used in resistor
color coding.
 There are 12 colors used in
indicating the value and tolerance of
a resistor. The ten colors which are;
black, brown, red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, violet, gray, and white
are used ti indicate the 1st digit, 2nd
digit and the multiplier in
determining the value of a resistor
while the 2 colors; gold and silver
reperesents the tolerance of a
resistor. Each color represents a
number shown on the table. Now it
is very important to remember the
exact order sequence of the colors so
that it will be easy to determine the
number that corresponds to the
color.
 Remeber this phrase. Better Be
Right Or Your Great Big Venture
Goes Wrong. In these phrase the
first letters of each words
corresponds to the first letter of the
colors. Black Brown Red Orange
Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray White.

 Everybody say the phrase.  Students: Better Be Right

Or Your Great Big
 Venture Goes Wrong.

 Very good! Now based on the phrase  Students: Black, Brown,

Red, Orange, Yellow,
give me the exact order of the colors. Green, Blue, Violet, Gray,
White.

 Very good! And each color

correspond to a number from 0 to 9.
So the first color which is balck is 0
up to the last color which is white is
9. Now in tolerance there are only 2
colors. Gold represent ±5% and silver
is ±10%. It is easy to remember.

 Now let us know the steps in

determining the value of a resistor
through it color codes.
 Example:
In this resistor
let us determine
its value based
on its color code.

 First step is to look for the first color  Neville: It is the color red
for it will determine the first digit of Ma’am.
our resistors value. The first color is
the closest to one of the ends. And
we should read it from left-right.
 In this resistor what is the color
closest to one of the ends? Yes
Neville.

 Very good! Neville. It is the color red.  Zach: It is number 2

Ma’am.
 So what number that corresponds to
the color red? Yes Zach.

 Very good! Zach. Since color red is

the first color in the band and
number 2 is what corresponds the
color red our first digit in
determining our resistor’s value is 2.
 The second step is to look for the  Brian: It is violet Ma’am.
second color for it will determine the
second digit of our resistors value.
 What is the next color in the band
Brian?

 Very good! And what is it’s  Brian: it is 7 Ma’am.

corresponding number?

 Very good! Brian. So our second digit

in our resistor’s value is 7.

 The third step is to look for the third  Via: It is brown Ma’am.
color band for it will determine our
multiplier or in other word the third
color will help us determine how
many zeros will be added to our first
two digits.
 What is the third color on our
resistor Via?

 Ver good! Via. And what number  Angel: 1 Ma’am.

does it corresponds to Angel?

 Very good! So it means we can add

one 0 to the last two digits which are
2 and 7 and that makes 270 or we
can multiply 27 by 10 still 270. So
our resistor’s value is 270 Ω.

 The fourth step is to look for the last  Jed: It is gold Ma’am.
color band. It will be our resistor’s
tolerance value.
 What is our tolerance color Jed?

 Very good! And what is it’s  Jed: ±5% Ma’am.

corresponding value?

 Very good! Jed. So our resistor’s  Yes Ma’am.

resistance value is 270 Ω with a
tolerance of ±5%. So this also means
that our resistor’s value ranges from
256.5 Ω to 283.5 Ω
  Did you all understand now how to
determine resistor’s resistance
value?

 Let’s have some boardwork activity

to see if you really understand how
to determine the resistor’s value
using color coding.
 May I call Liza, Justin, Ginny, Billy
and Tomas to answer on the board
for resistor’s value through this
following set of colors.
 (the 5 students goes to the
 (Liza) yellow, blue, gray, silver
board to answer the five
 (Justin) green, red, orange, gold sets of color codes of a
resistor)
 (Ginny) orange, blue, green, gold

 (Billy) violet, white, red, silver

 (Tomas) white, red, gray, silver

 Do you have any question about the  Steven: What if there are
topic? Yes Steven? five colors in a resistor
Ma’am?

 Very good question Steven. So if a

resistor has five colors band the first,
second and third colors will
represent the first, second and third
digit of our resistor’s value. The
fourth color will be our multiplier
and the last color band will be our
tolerance.

 Did you get it now? Do you still have  No more question Ma’am.
any more question?

G. Application

 Let’s have a group activity. I want  (the students count 1 to 4

you to group yourselves by counting and group themselves
 1 to 4. according to their
number.)

 Each group will be given a box. In  (the students do the

each box there is a papers numbered activity by group and one
1-4 or 1-5 it depends. Now number 1 member of each group to
corresponds to the first digit in the discussion in front of
resistor’s resistance value and so on. the class)
Now here is the twist. To determine
the color of each digit to multiplier
up to the tolerance, you are going to
solve a riddles. The answer to every
riddles are colors of a resistor that
you need to calculate to find its
resistance value and tolerance. Then
you have to present it in the front.
From the riddles up to your
calculation.

 Your group will be given points

guided with the following rubrics.
