ELICIT

Group Activity
Sing a song that is related to the picture
shown by a teacher. If they didn’t sing a
song or they don’t have any song to sing
they need to answer the question behind Star, Ocean, Sky, Heart, Happy face
the picture. (with different questions related to yesterday’s topic)

Very Good class you really learned about

our yesterday’s lesson.

ENGAGE
Picture Analysis
(4 pics 1 word) WAVE

Very good class!

And this has something to do with our topic

for today which is all about Waves.

EXPLORE
Pre-Activity
Before we proceed to the activity, I will
group you into five.
Now that you are grouped into five, Students will be grouped into five.

Activity Proper

Group 1
Procedure
A. What are transverse waves? Each group will perform the activity. Answer to the
question may vary and base from their observation.
1. Straighten the rope and place it above a long table.
Hold one end of the rope and vibrate it up and down. You
would be able to observe a pulse. Draw three sketches of
the rope showing the motion of the pulse at three
subsequent instances (snapshots at three different times).
Draw an arrow to represent the direction of the pulse’s
motion.

a. What is the source of the wave pulse?

b. Describe the motion of your hand as you create the

pulse.

c. Describe the motion of the pulse with respect to the

source.

Group 2
Attach a colored ribbon on one part of the rope. You may
use adhesive tape to fix the ribbon. Make a wave by
continuously vibrating the end of the rope with quick up-
and-down movements of your hand. Draw the waveform
or the shape of the wave that you have created.
Ask a friend to vibrate the rope while you observe the
motion of the colored ribbon. Remember that the colored
ribbon serves as a marker of a chosen segment of the
rope.
a. Does the wave transport the colored ribbon from its
original position to the end of the rope?

b. 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?

Group 3
What are longitudinal waves?

1. Connect one end of a long table to a wall. Place coil

spring on top of table. Attach one end of the coil spring to
the wall while you hold the other end.
18
Figure 3. Coil spring on a flat table with one end
attached to a wall
Do not lift the coil spring. Ask a friend to vibrate the end
of the coil spring by doing a back-and-forth motion
parallel to the length of the spring. Observe the waves
along the coil spring. Draw how the coil spring looks like
as you move it back-and-forth.
2. Attach a colored ribbon on one part of the coil spring.
You may 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 serves as a marker of a chosen
segment of the coil spring.

a. Does the wave transport the colored ribbon from its

original position to the end of the rope?

b. Describe the vibration of the colored ribbon. How does

it move as waves pass by?

Group 4
What are surface waves?

1. Place a basin filled with water on top of a level table.

Wait until the water becomes still or motionless. Create a
wave pulse by tapping the surface of the water with your
index finger and observe the direction of travel of the
wave pulse. Tap the surface of the water at regular
intervals to create periodic waves. View the waves from
above and draw the pattern that you see. In your drawing,

mark the source of the disturbance.

2. Wait for the water to become still before you place

your paper boat on the surface. Create periodic waves and
observe what happens to your paper boat.

a. Do the waves set the paper boat into motion? What is

required to set an object into motion?

b. 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?

Group 5
If you were somehow able to mark individual water
molecules (you used a colored ribbon to do this earlier)
and follow them as waves pass by, you would find that
their paths are like those shown in the figure below.
Figure 4. Surface waves
a. As shown in the figure, the passage of a wave across a
surface of a body of water involves the motion of
particles following a ___________ pattern about their
original positions.

b. Does the wave transport water molecules from the

source of the vibration? Support your answer using the
shown figure.

B. Developing Mastery (Explain)

The learners will be asked about the
following questions:

1. Waves can be typified according to the direction of

motion of the vibrating particles with respect to the
direction in which the waves travel. Waves can be typified according to the direction of
motion of the vibrating particles with respect to the
a. Waves in a rope are called ____________ waves direction in which the waves travel.
because the individual segments of the rope vibrate
____________ to the direction in which the waves travel. a. Waves in a rope are called transverse waves because
the individual segments of the rope vibrate perpendicular
b. When each portion of a coil spring is alternatively to the direction in which the waves travel.
compressed and extended, ____________ waves are b. When each portion of a coil spring is alternatively
produced. compressed and extended, longitudinal waves are
produced.
c. Waves on the surface of a body of water are a c. Waves on the surface of a body of water are a
combination of transverse and longitudinal waves. Each combination of transverse and longitudinal waves. Each
water molecule moves in a _______________ pattern as water molecule moves in a circular pattern as the waves
the waves pass by. pass by.
2. How do we know that waves carry energy?

3. What happens when waves pass by?

2. How do we know that waves carry energy?
Waves can set other objects into motion.
3. What happens when waves pass by?
Very well said! Particles vibrate alternately to transport the energy
of the wave.
C. Finding practical applications of concepts

D. Making Generalizations and Abstraction

about the lesson (Elaborate)
What is the difference between
transverse, longitudinal, and surface
waves?
