10 min. 3. Motivation

Which type of glass is easy for you to know

what is inside? Why?

A.
Glass A is easy for me
to know what is inside
because it is transparent.

4. Presentation
Today, we will learn which materials block,
absorb, or transmit light.
Let the pupils watch the video clip

20 min. B. Exploration

1. Setting the standards of doing

 group activity.

What are the standards of doing group Cooperate with the

activity? group.
Raise your hand to
speak. Follow direction
quickly.
Share ideas.

2. Group Activity

Group I- Which materials block, absorb or Pupils do the suggested Teacher

transmit light? activity. will
facilitate.
Materials: illustration board, clear glass,
colored glass, flash light

Procedure:
Place a flashlight directly to each object and
observe what happen to the light.

Guide Questions:

1. What have you noticed about the

illustration board when the light is
shining straight on it?

2. What happens to the light when it

strikes the clear directly?

3. When the light is shining directly on

the colored glass, what have you
noticed?

4. Complete the table below.

Block Light Absorb Transmit

Light Light

Group II- Classify each material whether it is

transparent, translucent, or opaque.

Materials: picture of paper, sunglasses,

plastic envelop, aluminum foil, book,
cellophane, plastic bottle, frosted window,
plastic cover, bag

Direction: Paste the picture on the

appropriate column whether the material is
transparent, translucent, or opaque.

Transparent Translucent Opaque

Group III-
Read and analyze the table below. Put a
check () mark on the
appropriate column whether the material
blocks, absorbs, or transmits light.

b. What materials allow all light to pass activity
through them? Transparent questions.

c. What materials does not allow light Opaque

to pass through them?

d. What materials allow some light to Translucent

pass through them?

e. Give one example of object and tell Answers may vary

how important is their ability to
block, absorb or transmit light.

5 min D. Elaboration

1. Generalization
a. What are the materials that
block, absorb and transmit light? The materials that block
light are opaque which
do not allow light to
pass through them. The
materials that absorb
light are translucent
which allow some light
to pass through them.
And the materials that
transmit light are
transparent which allow
all light to pass through
them.

2. Application

a. Study the pictures. Identify which

materials block, absorb, or transmit
light.
 b. Are trees and their leaves are
opaque? Why?
Yes, because leaves do
not allow all light to
pass through
Since trees and their leaves are
opaque which do not allow light to
Protect us from the heat
pass through, how do they help us?
of the sun
What are you going to do since it
protects us from the heat of the sun?
We should plant more
trees?
