(Students react)
( reactions may vary) sir....
brown out!
 Now how well do you value electricity?
- sir we cannot live without
electricity!
- Sir life is boring without electricity!

Well, you’re right because we are now

experiencing modernization

Okay First of all, let’s review our last topic. Who

can recall? Last meeting we’ve discussed about how
electricity is produced.

What are the various sources of electricity again

Class?
water, coal, earth’s interior, fossil fuels, nuclear
fuel, sir.
These sources are used to classify the types
of power plants. What are the power plants
that supply electricity in our country?
Hydro-electric power plants, coal fired power
plants, geothermal power plants and nuclear
power plants sir.
Very good! It looks like you are reviewing
your lessons! Keep doing! Great job!
B. PRESENTATION

When plugging in your cellphones or turning on

the lights have you ever wondered where all
these power come from.
We are curious sir.

And how does it come to me?

( I will paste a picture of cellphone and bulb)
through transformer sir

Great! You got the point!

through electric post sir

B1. Unlocking of difficulty

This time let’s find out how electricity is

transmitted and distributed from power plants
to end users.
But before that let us first unlock the words that
are needed for you to be able to understand our Okay sir.
lesson for today, and this is through an activity
which is entitled” fix me, I’m a mess.”
All you have to do is to arrange the jumbled
letters based on the given definition, those
words will later help you understand our lesson
for today. This group will be TEAM A and this
group will be TEAM B, TEAM C and TEAM D.
Write your answer on the strip of bond papers I
will be giving. This will be a competition, so I will
only accept the answer of the first team to paste
their answer on the blackboard, every correct
answer is 5 points. Did you understand class?
Now form a circle in your group.
Yes sir.
Okay number one.

and distributed from power plants to end users.
Here is a short video that explains us how.

Watch carefully and note down the important

details. Okay sir.

B. DISCUSSION

(after the video)

Class I want you to please take a look under
your armchairs and get the pictures. All those
who have the same picture will stay together at
one part. The picture of Bleed Green (Boston
Celtics) will be group 1, Miami Heat will be
group 2, Golden State will be group 3, and Dallas
will be group. Okay sir!

Write your names on this index card that I will

be giving. Within your group, you must choose
your leader and presenter. While doing your
activity, class unproductive and unnecessary
noise is not allowed because you will be given
minus points if your group is too noisy.
Understood?
 I will give you an envelope containing pictures of
how energy is transmitted and distributed.
The mechanics of the game which is entitled
“where do I belong” is inside the envelope.
To determine the first group to finish the task,
you must have a cheer that will indicate you’ve
finished it already. The first group to finish the
task will be given an additional five points.

Mechanics:
1. Arrange the pictures
according to their
sequence. Paste the
pictures in the cartolina.
2. Do it for 3 minutes.
3. After 3 minutes the
presenter shall present
your output.

The criteria will be as follow:

After doing your activity post your answers on

the wall at your side. Then the presenter of the
group will present your output.
Class you may now begin.

(Supervising the class)…..

(After 3 minutes) (students do the activity)

Time is up class, group 1 start.

Good morning classmates the sequence of the

pictures in our activity is the electrical energy is
transmitted and distributed from the power
plants going to the transmission lines then to the
distribution lines then finally to our homes.
Very good! Let’s clap for group 1!

Let’s hear the presentation of group 2.

The sequence of the pictures in our activity is the

electrical energy travelled from the power plants
to the transmission lines then to the distribution
lines then to the residential areas.
Excellent! Let’s clap for group 2!

Group 3……
Group 4……
Group 5……….
Okay class I’ve already given you points in terms
of correct sequencing, timeliness, discipline and
presentation.
Okay sir.
Now to further understand our topic, arrange
your chairs facing in front and listen.

Okay sir.
D.ANALYSIS

Class, electrical energy is one of the most

important things that we need especially
nowadays that our technology is constantly
improving and most of these improvements need
electricity.

I have miniature of the pictures that I have given

you for you to have a realistic view.

Most of your answers on the first picture are

correct which is power plant.

What do you think is happening on the power

plant?
Electrical energy is generated In the power plant
sir..
Awesome! From the power plant, what do you
think will happen next? The electrical energy passes to the transmission
substation that steps up its voltage by using step
up transformer.

Very good! The voltage is raised at a range of

138,000 – 765, 000 volts. Then? Electrical energy is carried or made to travel on
the transmission lines .

Excellent! This transmission lines operate at

high voltage, send out large amounts of
electrical power and extend other considerable
distances. Where can we see these transmission
lines class?
Along highways and fields sir.

Great! We can also see them on the mountains.

Who among you have already seen transmission
lines?
All: Me sir.

Then after that class, what do you think happens

next?
It will then pass another substation in which the
voltage will be reduced through the use of step
down transformer sir to 34, 500- 138, 000 volts.

Precisely, very good!

A distribution substation further step down the
voltage to 2,400- 19, 920 volts.
Then what happens next?
The electrical energy is ready to be carried along
the distribution lines that can be found in our
local communities for distribution sir.
 Great! Here in Bukidnon, what is in charge with
electrical distribution throughout our FIBECO sir.
community?

Excellent! FIBECO means?

First Bukidnon Electric Cooperative sir.
Very good! Before it finally enters our home a
step down transformer that are located at the
poles reduces the electricity into what range?
220 -250 volts sir.

Very good! That is the standard alternating

current voltage in Philippines. This voltage
powers most of the electrical appliances we
have at homes.

E.GENERALIZATION

So, How electricity is transmitted and distributed

Class?
Power plant generates electricity then step up
transformer step up voltage for transmission then
transmission lines carry electricity over long
distance the step down transformers step down
voltage for distribution then distribution lines
carry electricity to neighborhood then transformer
on the poles steps down the voltage before it
enters our homes sir.

F. VALUING

Class let’s have a game,’’ complete me ’’

All you have to do is to complete the puzzle by

connecting one another. Once you finished connecting Yes sir.
them you shall clap and say HOORAY!
Did I make myself clear class?

Okay the same group with the previous activity.

Okay you may now start.

(supervising the activity)

Sir, there is a missing part. We cannot complete
it.
Oh, there is really a missing part, we all know how
important is being together and what can you say
about how important is the part of something you
needed to attain what you aim for? Sir if one part is missing and it is needed to
complete something, definitely the result will fail.

Very nice!

Who can relate it to the transmission and distribution of

electricity?
Sir, for example if there is no transformer or the
power plant, the electricity cannot travel and it
is impossible to have electrical energy in our
homes. If some roles in transmission and
distribution of electricity ma’am are undone the
electricity will not be transmitted and
distributed.

Okay class excellent!

Just like transmission and distribution of electricity class

everything has a beginning and everything may come to
an end, that’s why we need to value things we have now
so that we may not regret if we lose them. As a human
being our life is just like transmission and distribution of
electricity, we cannot live just by ourselves, we need a
strong and intimate connection and relationship with
the people around us. All of us have a part in this world
let us appreciate others and provoke love to one Okay sir. Everybody deserves to be loved and
another. appreciated.
