III. PROCEDURE
Teacher activity Student activity

Preliminary activity

Good morning class!

"Good morning Sir!"

Please stand up for the opening prayer. Mr.

Merenciano please lead the prayer.

"(Mr. Merenciano) In the name of the father, the

son and the holy spirit, Amen."
Class before we start, please pick-up the pieces
of papers under your chair and arrange your seats
properly.
"(Students will pick up papers and arrange their
seats properly)"

The class secretary will list the name of

absentees that we have today. Okay class?
"Yes Sir!"

Recall
Okay class., What was our topic last meeting?

"(Students will raise their hands)"

Yes Ms. Santiago !

"Our topic last meeting was about “Common

Electrical Symbols are a graphic representation
of basic electrical and electronics devices or
components. Symbols are used in circuits and
 electric diagrams to recognize a component."

Okay thank you Ms. Santiago very good!

A. Activity
Motivation:

Okay class, What is your idea about this two

picture?
Yes Ms. Condat!

"Sir that is kdrama series and parallel lines.”

Okay thank you that is correct Ms. Condat
So like in the movie they have a series, and lines
have a parallel, in electrical they have also a
series and parallel circuits.

B. Analysis
What do you think is the connection of this
image to our topic for today?
Yes. Ms. Santiago!
"Sir for me the connection of this image in our
topic for today is like the series use in movie
netflix and parallel use in lines , also a series
and parallel use in circuits connection.

Okay thank you Ms. Santiago so that is correct

class.
How are series and parallel useful in real life?
Yes, Ms. Laguerta!
"(Sir i think the series and parallel used in the
analysis of electrical circuits)."

Okay thank you Ms. Laguerta very good!

What do you think is the importance of series and

parallel circuit’s connection in electrical
equipment?
Yes Mr. Brioso !

"It is important for electrical equipment to

Okay thank you Mr. Brioso that is also correct deliver power to one or more loads."
class.
Do you agree that lack of knowledge on the
installation of a Circuits Connection can cause
hazard and risk?
Yes Ms. Briones!

"(Yes sir it can cause a short circuit)."

Thank you Ms. Briones , very good

C. Abstraction
They have series and parallel circuits connection
So let’s identify what is the first circuit
connection
Now lets us start

Series circuits

Okay class what circuit connection that shown in

the picture?
Yes Ms Laguerta!

Okay that's correct thank you Ms. Laguerta very

good!
"(The circuit connection that shown in the
So now class in your own idea what is series picture is series circuit)."
circuit?
Yes Mr. Agliones!

Thank you Mr. Agliones very good so like they

said series is only one direction or single path for "(Sir for me the series circuit connection is a
the current flow. And also the current either connection that there is only one direction for
flows clockwise or anticlockwise. the current flow.)"

Okay class another question, what series circuit

connection example that you can see in your
surroundings?
Yes Mr. Palamara!

Okay very good thank you Mr. Palamara, so the

street light is one of example of series circuit.
Another example class? "Sir for me the street light."
Yes Mr. Brioso!

Okay very good Mr. Brioso , thank you , so the

Christmas lights is also an example of series
circuit
"(Sir the Christmas Lights)"

Okay class who among you know how to draw a

wiring diagram of series circuit?
Yes Ms. Salva!

Thank you Ms. Salva that is correct, so i discuss

how to draw a wiring diagram of series, from the
battery the positive of the battery is going to the " Sir i think all components are connected end to
switch and switch going to the two bulb and the end to form a single path for current flow".
negative of the two bulb is going to the negative
of the battery.
Do you get it class?

Now we identified the series circuit connection

Now let's move on to the Parallel Circuits
Connection
"(All Yes Sir)"

Class in your own idea what is parallel circuit’s

connection?
Yes Ms. Chavez!

Okay thank you Ms. Chavez very good so there

is more than one direction and also multiple
paths of flow of current. And also they divide the
current but it is same voltage.

"(Sir the Parallel Circuits Connection is there is

Okay class another question, what parallel circuit
 connection more than one direction of flow of current.)"
example that
you can see in
your
surroundings?
Yes Mr.
Abanto!

Okay that is correct Mr. Abanto so the wiring

connection in our house is a parallel circuit’s "(Sir for me the connection at our house is a
connection. type of parallel circuit’s connection.)"

Another example class?

Yes Ms. Santiago

Okay very
good thank
you Ms. "Sir the water metering”.
Santiago

Okay class who

among you
know how to
draw a wiring
diagram of
parallel circuit? "Sir the positive of the battery is going to the
Yes, Ms. Briones! switch and switch is connected to the two
bulbs , but each light bulbs has its own circuit
and the negative of two bulbs is going to the
negative of the battery."

Okay thank you Ms. Briones very good! that is

correct class.
So now we identified what is series and parallel
circuit’s connection. Now let's tackle about the
different and advantage and disadvantage of
series and parallel circuits connection.
So i have a photo to show to you class
Okay class what is your idea about the different
between series and parallel base in the picture?
“Sir for me in series circuit connection the three
Yes Mr. Palamara! bulb is connected in one circuit and in the
parallel each light bulb has its own circuit.”

Okay thank you Mr. Palamara that is correct

class
Another idea class? "(Sir for me in series circuit if one bulb burns
out or damaged the circuit is broken. In parallel
Yes Mr. Merenciano!
circuit, each light bulb has own circuit, so if one
bulb is burns out or damaged the remaining two
bulb will still function.)"

Excellent Mr. Merenciano , thank you so that is

correct class in the picture will see , the series
circuit if the one bulb burns out the circuit is
broken , the current will cut and they not flow to
the another bulb, unlike in parallel circuit , if the
one bulb damaged , the remaining bulb will still
function because the current continue to flow.

"(All, yes sir)"

And that is the different between series and
parallel circuits did you get it class?

In your own idea class what is the advantage and

disadvantage of series circuit?
"(Sir for me the advantage of series if the
Anyone class! electrical devices connected in series it is easier
to switch on and off. And the dis advantage if
Yes Ms. Condat
one electrical devices stop working due to some
defect, then all other electrical devices would
stop working.

Okay thank you Ms. Condat so that is correct

class that is the advantage and disadvantage of
series circuit.
Next, in your own idea class what is the
"(Sir for me the advantage of parallel circuit
advantage and dis advantage of parallel circuit?
even if the electrical devices stops working due
Yes Mr. Abanto to some defect all other devices works fine. And
the disadvantage for me sir is more current
passes at a time which makes it unsafe.)"
Okay thank you Mr. Abanto very good so that is
correct class that is the advantage and
"All yes sir"
disadvantage of parallel circuit.
Did you get it class?

So to know if you learned to our topic for today ,

so before we move on to our activity, who wants
to volunteer class, i need two students to draw in
the blackboard a schematic wiring diagram of
series and parallel using 4 bulbs and one switch.
Yes, Ms. Benosa! for the series circuit " Students will draw in the black board "
And Mr. Brioso! for the parallel Circuits

Okay thank you Mr. Brioso! and Ms. Benosa!

very good! So class give them around of
applause!

D. Application

Let have first an activity

Directions: Let's divide the class into two groups.
Each group should select a leader and a
presenter. In a short coupon bond, group 1 are
task to draw a schematic diagram using 5 bulbs
in series circuit connection, and group 2 are task
to draw a schematic diagram using a 5 bulbs in
parallel circuit connection.
Do you get it class? "(All, yes sir)"

Afterwards, each group presenter will

demonstrate their drawing in front in the class.
"(Group 1 and 2 presenter, will demonstrate
their drawing in front.)"
Okay very good class your drawing is correct
Keep up the good work class!

E. Generalization
So, based from our discussion why is it important
to have proper knowledge about the series and
parallel circuit’s connection?
Yes Ms. Briones
"( Sir , to know the connection of series and
parallel circuits and to know the different
between each other and help us to understand
the connection of electrical devices that were
going to use at home .)"
Very good!
Any questions about our topic today class?
"(None sir)"
So I think you are now ready. Please get your
quiz notebook and let’s have a short quiz
