Grade 7- STE 7 A

LESSON PLAN IN GRADE 7

I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson the students will be able to:
1. Define surface wave.
2. Identify the direction of surface waves as it travelled.
3. Appreciate the importance of waves in a real situation.

II. LEARNING TASKS

A. SUBJECT MATTER: SURFACE WAVE
1. CONCEPT
Waves – A wave is a disturbance or variation that travels through a medium,
transferring energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of
the medium itself. In the context of transverse waves, the vibrating element moves in a
direction perpendicular to the direction of advance of the wave. This motion creates a pattern
of crests and troughs as the wave propagates through the medium. Waves can be classified
into different types, such as transverse waves and longitudinal waves, based on the direction
of particle displacement relative to the direction of wave propagation.
Vibration -refers to a repetitive motion or oscillation of an object around an
equilibrium position. In the case of transverse vibration, the element moves to
and from in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the advance of the
wave. This type of motion creates transverse waves, where the particles of the
medium vibrate perpendicularly at right angles, up and down, and continue to
move in the direction of the wave.
Surface wave – Surface waves are a type of mechanical wave that travel along the
boundary between two different media, such as air and water or the Earth's crust.
These waves differ from both longitudinal and transverse waves because they
exhibit a combination of characteristics, involving both horizontal and vertical
motion.

I’m glad that you really
participate in our
 activity. Also, I’m happy
that you listen and answer
the questions very well.
Settle down and we were
going to discuss our topic.
How are waves produced?
 Do the waves set the
paper boat into motion?
What is required to set
an object into motion?
 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?
 What is the motion of
the water?
 Does the wave transport
water molecules from
the source of vibration?

- Very Good!
-it creates repeated

-No, the water

 APPLICATION
Now, I believe that you understand
our topic very well. So, I want to
ask you a question.
-For you how important to
have understanding about
surface wave?
Answers may vary.
- Just like geophysicists
and seismologists,
studying surface waves is
essential for
comprehending
earthquake behavior and
seismic activity. Engineers
need this knowledge to
design structures that can
withstand the effects of
surface waves during
earthquakes. Additionally,
in the field of
oceanography,
understanding surface
waves is fundamental for
predicting and managing
coastal phenomena.
In summary, the
importance of
understanding surface
waves lies in their
significance for various
scientific fields and
practical applications,
especially in dealing with - Very Good!
seismic events and the
behavior of waves at the
interfaces of different
media.
