TOPIC: Charging by induction

SCIENCE CONCEPTS:
• Induction charging is a process wherein an object can be charged without
actual contact to any other charged object.
• Polarization is a phenomenon wherein charges within the neutral object
rearrange such that charged object attracts the opposite charges within the
neutral object.
• Grounding is a means of providing a path between the charged object and a
ground where electrons are free to enter or exit.

SCIENCE SKILLS:
• Describing , Explaining and Applying

IV. PROCEDURES
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
Preparatory Activities:
Prayer:
Everybody, please stand. Let us pray
(Call a student to lead the prayer)
Greetings:
Good morning class!
Okay, before you sit down kindly pick up first
some pieces of papers under your chairs and
throw it in the trash can.
Checking of Attendance:
Now, kindly go back to your seats and sit
properly.
Class monitor, are there any absent?
Alright. Very good! Let’s do the “Yes clap” for
having the complete attendance
A. Reviewing previous lesson/
presenting the new lesson
Before we start, let’s have a review first of
our lesson last meeting. So, what did we
discuss last meeting?
Very good! What do you call the process of
charging an object through rubbing?
Alright. What happens when you rubbed the
comb and placed it near the strips of paper?
Very good! Now, why are paper strips still
attracted to a charged comb considering that
it is neutral?
Excellent!!
STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
(Students will recite the prayer)
Good morning, Ma’am!
Good morning Classmates!
(Students will pick up some trash)
No Ma’am. Everybody is present!
1….2….3 (clap their hand)
1….2….3 (stamp their feet)
YES!
-Last meeting, we had an activity on how an
object can be charged. We rubbed the comb in
a silk cloth and tried to attract the strips of
papers.
-The process of charging an object through
rubbing is called charging by friction.
-When we rubbed the comb and place near
the paper strips, it sticks together.
-Paper strips are still attracted even if it is
neutral is because the charges within the
paper rearranges such that charged comb will
attract the opposite charge within the paper.
The phenomenon is known as polarization.

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

Our lesson this morning is about another You should be able to :

charging process called charging by induction. • Describe the process of charging by
induction
(Let the student recite the objectives of the • Explain the importance of grounding
lesson) or earthing
• Apply the phenomenon of
polarization and grounding to charge
As we go on with our lesson, you will encounter a material by induction.
some words which are difficult for you to
understand like phenomenon and earthing.
Now, have you heard the word “phenomenon”
before? Yes Ma’am!

What do you think is the meaning of Phenomenon is an interesting fact or event

phenomenon? that can be observed and studied.

Alright. Very good! Will you please use the word

“phenomenon” in a sentence? (Answers may vary)

How about the word “earthing”? (Answers may vary)

Will you please use it in a sentence?

C. Presenting examples/ instances

Based from your activity last meeting, you have

discovered that an object can be charged
through direct contact. Right? Yes ma’am!

Alright. Do you think an object can still be

charged without direct contact? (Answers may vary)

Now, Let us try to find out if an object can still

be charged without direct contact.

D. Discussing new concept and

practicing new skills #1

For you to understand the process of charging

an object by induction, you will be performing
an activity entitled “to charge or not to charge”.

Now, I will be grouping you into four according

to your table arrangement.

Each group should choose a leader and a

secretary. Okay? Yes Ma’am!

Alright. Representative from each group, kindly

come in front.

(Distribute the activity sheet and the materials (Representatives will receive the activity
needed for the activity) sheet and the materials needed for the
activity)
 TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
I will give you one minute to read the procedure
silently.
(after one minute, call a student to read the
procedure aloud)
Do you understand now the procedures?
The activity is only good for 20 minutes.
Okay?
Do you have any question?
Start working now!
(After the activity, Let the students present
their findings)
Are you done with the activity?
Okay, you are now going to present your
findings.
(Each group will present their answer on the
assigned question)
Guide Questions:
1. What do you think is the charge acquired
by the plastic rod after rubbing it against
the cloth?
2. In which part of the activity did
polarization occur? Explain how this
happened
3. Why aluminum strips at the bottom
repelled each other?
4. What is the purpose of touching the
coiled wire in step #4?
5. In step #5, what happens to the
aluminum strips when you removed the
charged plastic rod and your finger? Why
is this so?
STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
(the student will read the procedure silently)
Yes Ma’am!
Yes Ma’am!
None Ma’am!
(The student will start working with their
activity)
Yes Ma’am!
-The cloth will give up electrons thus the
plastic rod will acquire a negative charge.
-Polarization occurred in step 3. When the
charged plastic rod was placed near the
neutral electroscope, the charges within the
electroscope were rearranged in such a way
that the negative charges migrated towards
the edge of the electroscope that was farther
from the plastic rod.
-Aluminum strips repelled each other
because it both acquire positive charge.
-The hand provided a path for negative
charges to move away from the electroscope
thus, when the hand was removed the can
was left with a net positive charge
-The aluminum strips repelled each other
because some electrons exits through the
hand and there are now more proton than
electron
 TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
E. Developing mastery (Leads to
Formative Assessment)
Now class based from the activity that you
performed, how does an object becomes
charged?
(Call student from each group to answer the
question)
Very well said! What do you call that
phenomenon wherein charges within neutral
object rearranges and moves toward the end?
Excellent! Now, what happens to the excess
charges that does not attract the negatively
charged object?
F. Finding practical applications of
concepts and skills in daily living
Class, do you find our topic today significant
and can be applied in real life situation?
So how can we apply the concept of charging
by induction in real life?
Yes! Very good. What else?
Great! That’s actually one of the significant
application of the concept of grounding or
earthing since it can prevent the build-up of
excess charges where it is not needed.
(Show some pictures of how grounding
electrical system prevents damage and injury to
human)
STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
-Based from the activity that we performed,
an object becomes charged through placing
the charged object near but not touching the
neutral object. The charges within the neutral
object rearranges such that charged object
will attract the opposite charge within the
neutral object.
-That phenomenon is known as polarization
-Excess electrons exit to the ground through
touching the object making it positively
charge. The process is known grounding or
earthing.
Yes Ma’am!
Given that object can still be charged without
direct contact, it is possible for the electrical
devices to charge wirelessly.
Another significant application is grounding
electrical systems and devices in our home.
Since I learned that grounding allows excess
electron to exit to the ground or earth, it is
very important to ground all the appliances
and devices in our home to prevent electric
shock that can cause damage and injury to
human
 TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

G. Making generalizations and

abstractions about the lesson

Again class, how can you describe the charging -Induction charging is a process wherein an
process by induction? object can be charged without actual contact
to any other charged object.

Very good! Now, how does polarization and
grounding acts in charging an object by
induction?
-Polarization acts through rearranging the
charges in neutral object such that charged
object attracts the opposite charges within
the neutral object, while grounding acts
through touching the charged object to allow
excess electron to exit through the hand to
“the ground”.

Alright. Very well said!
