C. Presenting examples/ life without it?
instances of the new 2. The teacher will show Dry Cell, Bulb, Electric wires and switch. Let the students identify and give each
lesson functions
Dalton’s League – Group 1
3. The teacher will introduce ideas and concepts about electric circuit.

D. Discussing new concepts

EXPLORE:
and practicing new skills
The teacher will show the different components of an electric circuit and do the following
#1
1. Given the materials, allow the learners to connect the components of an electric circuit.
E. Discussing new concepts
2. The learners will be tasked to do a simple circuit, series and parallel connections using the
and practicing new skills
prepared materials and follow the procedures in the activity given.
#2

EXPLAIN:
1. The learner will be asked to raise questions regarding the concepts.

F. Developing mastery 2. The group of learners will present their output in the class using the following:
(Leads to Formative a. show a schematic diagram ( used symbols)
Assessment) b. used Venn diagram or table for your answer in similarities and differences
3. The teacher corrects and processes the answers of each group.

G. Finding practical ELABORATE:

applications of concepts The teacher ask on how this concept can be applied in real life.
and skills in daily living The learners will mention an example of simple circuit, series and parallel connections at home, in the
school and the community.
H. Making generalizations
The learners will explain the differences and similarities of series and parallel circuit / on how the source,
and abstractions about the
connecting wires and loads re connected or assemble. The learners will also explain on the similarities and
lesson
differences on series and parallel circuit / connections using Venn diagram/ tables

EVALUATE:
The learners will be asked to answer the following questions briefly:
1. How will you connect the components of an electric circuit?(Show a schematic diagram /used
symbols)

I. Evaluating learning 2. What are the differences between a series and parallel connections?
3. Give the similarities of series and parallel circuit connections.
4. How would you appreciate the importance of series and parallel circuit connections?
5. Compare the brightness in the bulbs in each circuit.

J. Additional activities for EXTEND:

application or remediation Assign the learners (by group) to create a house miniatures using series and parallel circuits’ connection.

IV. REMARKS

This Detailed Lesson Plan is good for 1 hour teaching

V. REFLECTION
Dalton’s League – Group 1

Discuss the lessons with HOTS question because it helps the students to easily relate and think critically.

80% on the formative
assessment

B. No. of learners who require

additional activities for
remediation.

C. Did the remedial lessons

work? No. of learners who
have caught up with the
lesson

D. No. of learners who

continue to require
remediation

E. Which of my teaching
strategies worked well?
Why did these works?

F. What difficulties did I

encounter which my
principal or supervisor can
help me solve?

G. What innovation or
localized materials did I
use/discover which I wish
to share with other
teachers?

Activity (taken from the LM pp61-62)
What’s the connection?
Objectives:
After performing this activity, you should be
able to:
1. connect loads in different ways and
2. Explain the similarities and differences
between the circuit connections.

Materials Needed:

For Circuit A:
3 connecting wires
2 identical bulbs with holder
2 dry cells with holder

For Circuit B:
4 connecting wires
2 identical bulbs with holder
2 dry cells with holder

Procedure:
1. Construct a circuit using three
connecting wires, two identical bulbs and
two batteries such that when one bulb is
unscrewed the other bulb goes out also.
Once you’re done with the task, disconnect
the battery from the circuit.

2. Draw your setup. Label this Circuit A.

3. Trace the paths of current in Circuit A.

Q13. How many path/s of current are there

in the circuit?

Q14. Why did the other bulb go out also

when you unscrewed the other?

4. This time, construct a circuit using four

connecting wires, two identical bulbs and
two batteries such that when one bulb is
unscrewed, the other bulb remains lighted.
Once you’re done with the task, disconnect
the battery from the circuit.

5. Draw your setup. Label this Circuit B.

6. Trace the path of current in Circuit B.

Q15. How many paths can the current take

in Circuit B?

Q16. Explain why the other bulb remains

lighted when you unscrewed one of them.

7. Put Circuits A and B side by side.

Observe the brightness of the bulbs.

Q17. Which circuit has brighter bulbs, A or

B?
Dalton’s League – Group 1

Q18. Based on the brightness of the bulbs,

compare the current in Circuit A and in
Circuit B?

8. Measure the voltage across the two

bulbs as well as the voltage across each
bulb in Circuit A. Record your readings in
Table 3. Do the same in Circuit B.
