V. PROCEDURES A B
ELICIT How would life be without light?
-Living things will not thrive without light. Living things,
specifically plants depends on the process of
photosynthesis (which requires light) in order to produce
food that will be used by other organisms for their survival.

How do you use light in everyday life?

-Light is used in household and street lightings, in
growing plants, in gadgets, etc.
ENGAGE How would you describe visible light in the Electromagnetic
spectrum? (Show them the illustration of EM spectrum on page
148 of Science 10 LM)

- Light is the thinnest slice in the EM spectrum, but is the

42
 only EM wave visible to the human eye.
EXPLORE Group Activity.

Divide the class into five groups and give them the materials
needed for the activity (Flashlight, illustration board, prism, bond
paper, coloring material)

Procedure:
1. Place the prism on top of the white-side of the illustration
board.
2. Turn on the flashlight and point it on the prism until a light
that pass through the prism hit the white-side of the illustration
board. (Be sure that the classroom is dark by turning off the
lights/ windows/ door)
3. Draw in a bond paper the image formed on the white-side of
the illustration board. (Use coloring materials).

Guide Questions:
1. What happens when white light pass through the prism?
- The white light was divided into different colors after
passing through the prism. A rainbow color of light is seen
on the white side of the illustration board.

2. What colors are found on the edges of the rainbow?

Red and Violet

3. How was the colors in the rainbow arranged?

-Colors in the rainbow were arranged according to their
wavelength/frequency. They are arranged as follows: Red-
Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue-Indigo-Violet

4.What do you think is the purpose of the prism in the activity?

- Prism separates white light into different colors of
light.

5. After raining, you sometimes see a rainbow. Why this

phenomenon happens?
- Water droplets act as prism resulting to the dispersion
of light.

(See Appendix A for the Scoring Rubrics)

EXPLAIN Presentation of group outputs.

ELABORATE The teacher will discuss the following:

(Refer to page 160 of Science 10 LM)

1. Visible light
- Light is the thinnest slice in the EM spectrum, but is the
only EM wave visible to the human eye.
-Our eyes are sensitive to electromagnetic waves of
wavelengths that ranges from 4x10-7 m to 7x10-7 m.
-We can see the beauty of our surrounding because of the
visible light. Without it, we will not be able to see things.

43
 2. Dispersion of light
-When white light passes through a prism, it is separated
into its constituent colors: the red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo and violet. These colors do not distinctly
separate but they continuously change from red to violet.

The visible spectrum (Science 10 LM, p.160)

3. Wavelength of the Different Colors of Light

-Red color has the longest wavelength from among these
colors and violet has the shortest.
(Refer to Table 3 on page 160 of the Science 10 LM)

4. Applications of Visible light

- Optical sensors
- Smart lighting
- Mobile connectivity
- Rainbow/ Sky color

EVALUATE Briefly discuss the following:

How are rainbows produced?

- When sunlight hit the water droplets in clouds, the
water droplets acts as prism causing the separation of
white light into its component colors thus producing
rainbow.

Research about the application of visible light in the field of

EXTEND medicine.

ELICIT What happens to your skin after swimming for several hours in
the beach?

After swimming in the beach for several hours we had

sunburns.

ENGAGE What do you think causes sunburn?

Ultraviolet radiation causes sunburn.

Where can you find the Ultraviolet radiation in the

Electromagnetic spectrum?

Ultraviolet radiation is located in between the Visible

spectrum and X-ray in the Electromagnetic spectrum.

EXPLORE Activity: Poster Making

Materials: 1/8 illustration board, pencil, coloring materials.

46
 Make a poster about the practical applications of ultraviolet
radiation.

ELABORATE The teacher will discuss the following:

1. Ultraviolet radiation

Ultraviolet radiation is higher in frequency than visible light

but lower in frequency than x-ray.

It also has high energy that is enough to damage skin tissue

and the eye.

2. Practical applications of Ultraviolet radiation

a. In hospitals, ultraviolet rays are used to sterilized medical

equipment and kill harmful bacteria.
b. Production of Vitamin D in our skin
c. Sterilization of water in drinking fountains
d. Identifying original from fake banknotes
EVALUATE Write TRUE if the statement is correct, and FALSE if the
statement is wrong.

3. Remote-controlled toy cars are controlled by ultraviolet
radiation.
4. Ultraviolet radiation is harmful and has no practical
applications.
5. Ultraviolet radiation helps in the production of Vitamin C in our

ELICIT How will you describe UV rays and Infrared rays?

Answer:
Infrared radiation is given out by molecules colliding in
hot gases or solids while UV rays is from the motions of
electrons in excited atoms.
ENGAGE The teacher will show an actual X-ray result to the class.

Where do we usually obtain an x-ray result?

Answer:
X-rays are obtained from hospitals and clinics.

How do x-ray results are obtained?

Answer:
Getting an x-ray is like taking a picture of some part of
your body.

EXPLORE The students will perform Activity 1 X-ray Simulation

X-RAY SIMULATION

48
 Objective: Explain the nature of X-rays.

Materials:
Window screen
Sand
1/8 illustration board
Pattern made out of cardboard

Procedure:
 Place the 1/8 illustration board on a table
 Place the pattern in the middle of the illustration
board
 Sprinkle the sand over the window screen with the
illustration board under it.
 Carefully remove the pattern in the middle. Observe
what happened.

Guide Questions:

1. What shape / pattern was observed after the sand was

sprinkled over the window screen?

- The cardboard pattern was formed in the middle of

the illustration board. The only part where no sand
can be found.

2. How will you compare the activity to the nature of X-rays?

- In an x ray result, the white part is where the x-rays

are absorbed, while the dark part is where the x-rays
were not absorbed. Comparing it from the activity,
the part where there is no sand is like the part where
x-rays were absorbed while the part where there are
sand, is the part where x-rays were not absorbed.

3. What are the good and bad effects of x – rays?

-X – rays are widely used in the field of medicine to scan

the chest part and other parts of the body, on the other
hand, over exposure to x – rays can damage tissues of
the body.

EXPLAIN The students will report their output to the class.

The teacher will discuss the following key concepts:

ELABORATE
 X-rays are electromagnetic waves with frequencies
ranging from about 1016 to 1019 cycles per second.
 Uses of X-rays:
X-rays are used as an integral part of contemporary
hospitals and medical centers. The most common
application is to take photographs of a patient’s body.

49
 Radiation Therapy – X-rays play an important role in
the fight against cancer, with high energy radiation
used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.

Airport Security – Almost every airport on the planet

is now fitted with some form of x-ray security system
that scans baggage to check for dangerous items.

Revealing Counterfeit Art – Used by Art Historians to

detect whether or not a picture has been painted over
an existing piece.

 Gamma Rays are the electromagnetic radiation with

the highest frequencies but with the shortest
wavelength.

 Gamma Rays were discovered by Paul Villard.

 Uses of Gamma Rays

Gamma rays are used in the treatment of cancer

Gamma radiation is used to check flaws in casts,

molds and metal rolling operations, sheet making,
floor tile manufacture and asphalt roofing.

In Agriculture, gamma radiation to induce mutations

in plants and animals.

Gamma rays are also used in food preservation so

as they can sterilize materials at low temperatures.
EVALUATE Write 5 applications of Gamma and X-rays.

EXTEND What are the benefits and harmful effects of x-rays and
gamma rays in the environment?
