2.1 Presentation

Group yourselves into three. Count the

number from my left side to the left and
continuously count alternately. Remember
your number. Assign one leader, two
reporters, and one secretary in each group.
Perform the steps/instructions that will be
given to you. Each group has different
materials and activities. So, don’t copy from
other group’s work. There will be questions
that you need to answer. Copy the questions
on the provided manila paper and make a
space to answer. The secretary will do the
writing. After that, the reporters will present
your work in the whole class. The rubrics will
be:

 2.2 Activity / Task

Group 1. What are transverse waves?

Materials: Rope, Table, adhesive tape,

colored ribbon

Procedures:
1. Straighten the rope and place it above
a long table. Hold one end of the rope
and vibrate it up and down.
2. Tie one end of the rope on a rigid and
fixed object (e.g. heavy table,
doorknob, etc).
3. Attach the colored ribbon on one part
of the rope.Use an adhesive tape to fix
the ribbon
4. Make a wave by continuously vibrating
the end of the rope with a quick up and
down movement of your hand. Draw
the wave form.

5. Ask a friend to vibrate the rope while

you observe the motion of colored
ribbon.

Questions:
1. What is the source of the wave pulse?
2. Describe the motion of your hand as
you create the pulse.
3. Does the wave transport the colored
ribbon from its original position to the
end of the rope?
4. Describe the vibration of the colored
ribbon. How does it move as waves
pass by? Does it move in the same
direction as the wave?
1. The source of the wave pulse is the
hand movement.
2. The motion of our hand is up and down
to create the pulse.
3. The vibration of the colored ribbon is
perpendicular or opposite direction to
the movement of the rope (wave).

Group 2. What are longitudinal waves?

Materials: Table, spring/slinky, colored ribbon,

tape.

Procedures:
1. Connect one end of the long table to a
wall. Place the coil spring on top of the
table. Attach one end of the coil spring
to the wall while you hold the other
end.
2. Do not lift the coil spring. Ask a friend
to vibrate the end of the coil by doing a
back and forth movement parallel to
the length of the spring. Observe the
waves along the coil spring. Draw how
the coil spring looks as you move it
back and forth.
 3. Attach a colored ribbon on one part (at
the middle) of the coil spring. Use an
adhesive tape to fix the ribbon. Ask a
friend to vibrate the coil spring back
and forth while you observe the motion
of the colored ribbon. Remember that
the colored ribbon served as the
marker of a chosen segment of the coil
spring.

Questions:
1. Do the waves transport the colored
ribbon from its original position to the
end of the rope?
2. Describe the vibration of the colored
ribbon. How does it move as waves
pass by?
1. Yes, it does transport the colored
ribbon from its original position to the
end of the rope.
2. The vibration of the colored ribbon is
parallel or same direction to the hand
movement.

Group 3: What are surface waves?

Materials: table, basin, water, paper boat

Procedures:
1. Place a basin filled with water on top
table of a level table. Wait until the
water becomes motionless. Create a
wave pulse by tapping the surface of
the water with your index finger
observe the direction of travel of the
wave oulse. Tap the surface of the
water at regular intervals to create
periodic waves. Draw the pattern that
you see, in your drawing mark the
source of disturbance.

2. Wait for the water to become still

before you place your paper boat on
the surface. Create a periodic wave
and observe what happen to your
paper boat.

Questions:
1. Do the waves set the paper boat into
motion?What is required to set an
object in motion?
2. If you exert more energy in creating
periodic waves by tapping the surface
with greater strength. How does this
affect the movement of the paper
boat?
3. Do the waves transport water
molecules from the source of the
vibration?
1. Yes, it does set the paper boat into
motion. It’s required by tapping with
the index finger to move.
2. The movement of the paper boat is
intense if exerted more energy.
3. Yes, the waves do transport water
molecules from the source of the
vibration.

C. Explain

C.1 Reporting
 - Report your activity in class includes
your steps of how you did and the
answers of the questions.
C.2 Analysis
- What are the different materials used
in tranverse waves, longitudinal waves
and surface waves?
- What is the difference among
transverse waves, longitudinal waves,
and surface waves in terms of the
motion of the waves and the
movement of the source?
D. Elaborate
D.1 Application
Direction: Label the parts/characteristics of
the waves in the diagram by choosing the
words in the box.
Amplitude Wavelength Starting Point
Crest Trough
- Other terms that describe the
characteristics of the waves are
Period, Frequency, and Wave Speed.
Define each term:
D.2 Generalization
1. What do you infer about the different
waves?
2. Choose what kind of waves in the
following?
2.1 Light Waves
2.2 Sound Waves
2.3 Tsunamis
3. What will be the importance of waves
in our entire life?
- Each group represented to the whole
class what they did and observed.
- Transverse waves used rope and
ribbon, longitudinal waves used coil
spring and ribbon, while surface waves
used basin, water, and a paper boat.
- Transverse waves have opposite
direction of motion (ribbon) from the
movement of hand to rope;
Longitudinal waves have the same
direction of movement of ribbon from
the move of hand; and surface waves
movement is outward from the center
by tapping using the index finger.
1. Starting point
2. Trough
3. Wavelength
4. Amplitude
5. Crest
- Period is about time of travel of the
wave
- Frequency is about the number of
waves per a given time
- Wave speed is about how fast the
waves travel.
1. Different waves are so amazing with
the fact that each motion is differrent
from each other.
2. I think that light waves are the example
of Transverse waves; Sound waves
are the example of longitudinal waves;
and Tsunamis is the example of
surface waves.
3. Wave is important to us especially
when we use it for technology like
using FM and AM in radio. We
distinguish and use it for listening to
 music or getting current news in the
community. We can also control the
light that we want to achieve by
calibrating the wave travel.
