SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN
SCIENCE V
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a. define sound and explain how it travels;
b. identify some factors that affect the speed of sound;
c. differentiate music from noise; and
d. apply ways to reduce noise by limiting the noise being produced and prevent the noise from
affecting people nearby.

B. Lesson Proper
Engage
“Sound Trip”
- The students will go outside the classroom or go to the playground with notebook and pen. Sit in one
place and keep quiet as much as they can and listen to the sounds in the surroundings.
- The students will list down the things that they can hear.
- The students will classify which sounds are loud and quiet and which have high or low pitches.
- The students will share their responses with the class.
Explore
“Collaborative Activity”
- The students will perform the Activity 7.3: Effects of Sounds on Objects with their respective groups.
- The students will discuss and compare their observations with the other groups.
Explain
“Discussion”
Sound is produced by vibrating objects. It has few properties like speed, intensity, and loudness, and
frequency and pitch.
Sound waves travel faster through liquids and solids than through gases.
The speed of the sound also depends on the elasticity and density of the medium. Sound travels faster
in a medium that has a higher degree of elasticity because when the particles are compressed, they
quickly spread out again.
Intensity is the amount of energy the waves carry per second through a given area.
Sound intensity levels are measured in units called decibels.
When a string vibrates, the pitch of a sound depends on the material used, the length and thickness of
string, and on how tightly it is stretched.
Music is a group of sounds that have been deliberately produced to make regular patterns. Sounds
you hear as noise are irregular and disorganized.
Elaborate
“Socialized Discussion”
- The students will have a discussion based on what each group discovered about the properties of
sound.
Evaluate
“3-2-1 Exit Pass”
- The students will answer the following.
3 Things I Learned Today
2 Things I Realized
1 Thing I Plan to Make
IV. EVALUATION
“Multiple Choices”
- The students will answer ‘What to Do’ on page 227.
V. ASSIGNMENT
“UNIT TEST”
- The students will answer Unit Test on pages 231 – 233.
