Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 8

Objective: • Describe the hotness and coldness of an object in terms of

its temperature.

Learning across curriculum:

1) Mathematics: Temperature conversion and measurement

2) English: Descriptive writing using temperature as a sensory detail

3) Physical Education: Understanding the body's response to hot and cold

temperatures during exercise

Elicit:

Teaching Strategy: K-W-L Chart

Instructional Materials: Chart paper, markers

Anecdote 1: Share a personal story of experiencing extreme heat or cold in the

Philippines.

Anecdote 2: Share a traditional Filipino remedy for cooling down or warming

up in extreme temperatures.

Engage:

Teaching Strategy: Interactive Quizzes

Instructional Materials: Quiz questions, whiteboard, markers

1) Idea: Conduct a temperature-themed quiz game where students answer questions

about hot and cold temperatures.

2) Idea: Play a temperature-themed "Mystery Box" game where students must guess
the object inside the box based on its temperature.

Activity 1: "Hot and Cold Objects Scavenger Hunt"

Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning

Materials: Various objects with different temperatures (hot water, ice cubes,
metal spoon, feather, etc.)

Significance: Students will explore and classify objects based on their

temperature.

Instructions:

1) Divide students into small groups.

2) Provide each group with a set of objects with different temperatures.

3) Instruct students to touch and feel each object and classify them as hot or cold.

4) Students should record their observations and discuss their findings as a group.

Rubric:

- Correct classification: 5 pts

- Accurate recording of observations: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:
1) How did you determine if an object was hot or cold?

2) Can you give an example of a hot object and a cold object you found during the
activity?

3) Why is it important to be able to distinguish between hot and cold objects?

Explain: The teacher will explain the concept of temperature using

examples, visuals, and interactive discussions. Students will have the
opportunity to ask questions and participate in the explanation.

Elaborate:

Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning

Task 1: Design a temperature experiment

Task 2: Create a temperature-themed artwork

Evaluate:

Teaching Strategy: Think-Pair-Share

Instructional Materials: Evaluation rubric

Question 1: Explain the difference between hotness and coldness in terms of

temperature.

Question 2: How does temperature affect the behavior of objects?

Question 3: Give an example of how temperature is measured and why it is

important in scientific research.

Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing

Instructional Materials: Scenario cards

Scenario 1: Students act out a scene where they need to find ways to cool
down in a hot environment.

Scenario 2: Students act out a scene where they need to find ways to warm up
in a cold environment.

Assignment:

Assignment 1: Write a descriptive paragraph about a hot or cold object using

temperature as a sensory detail.

Assignment 2: Research and report on the effects of extreme temperatures on

the human body.

Ensure that these 2 assignments have two parts: a guiding overview for the
teacher, and the actual assessment question itself.

Note: The specific details and instructions for each activity, explanation, and
assessment questions should be provided by the teacher based on their
preferred teaching style and classroom resources.
