‘Sorbetes’ Adventure in Rizal Park

(Author Unknown)

It's a sunny afternoon in Rizal Park, and the air is filled with laughter and the sound of children
playing. Families stroll along the pathways, taking in the sights and sounds of this iconic park. Amidst the
bustling activity, there's a quaint little cart adorned with colorful umbrellas and a sign that reads "Sorbetes
sa Rizal Park."
As you approach the cart, you're greeted by the friendly smile of Mang Romy, the sorbetes vendor.
Behind him, rows of metal cylinders filled with ice cream flavors in vibrant hues beckon you to indulge in a
sweet treat. The aroma of freshly made waffle cones wafts through the air, adding to the allure of the
experience.
You join the queue of eager customers, eagerly anticipating your turn to sample the delights of
sorbetes. As you wait, you strike up a conversation with fellow park-goers, sharing stories and laughter
while soaking in the warm ambiance of the park.
Finally, it's your turn to place your order. You peer into the cart, marveling at the array of flavors
available – from classic favorites like ube (purple yam) and mango, to more exotic offerings like buko pandan
(coconut pandan) and langka (jackfruit). With a smile, Mang Romy scoops generous servings of your chosen
flavors into a freshly made cone, expertly twirling it to perfection.
You take your first bite, savoring the creamy texture and rich flavor of the sorbetes. The cool
sweetness provides a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the afternoon sun, making it the perfect
indulgence on a hot day. As you stroll through the park, enjoying your sorbetes, you can't help but feel a
sense of contentment and nostalgia, cherishing the simple joys of life in this bustling metropolis.
As the day draws to a close and the sun begins to set, you bid farewell to Rizal Park, your heart full
of fond memories and your taste buds tingling with the lingering sweetness of sorbetes. Until next time, you
look forward to returning to this beloved corner of Manila, where the tradition of sorbetes continues to bring
joy to all who visit.

unavailable, simply note their relative temperatures (cold, hot, tap).

Step 3: Heat Transfer from Spoon to Water

1. Place the metal spoon in the hot water glass for 1 minute.
2. After 1 minute, quickly move the spoon to the tap water glass. Observe and note any changes.
3. After 1 minute, move the spoon from the tap water to the cold water glass. Observe and note
changes.

Step 4: Heat Transfer from Water to Spoon

1. Place the metal spoon in the cold water glass for 1 minute.
2. After 1 minute, quickly move the spoon to the room temperature water glass. Observe and
note any changes.
3. After 1 minute, move the spoon from the room temperature water to the hot water glass.
Observe and note any changes in temperature.

Step 5: Continuous Observation

1. Leave the spoon in the hot water for an additional 2 minutes. Observe and note any changes
every 30 seconds. Use a thermometer to determine changes in temperature.
2. Repeat the above step with the spoon in the cold water for 2 minutes, noting changes every 30
seconds.

3. Use a table to record the temperature changes and any observations about the state of the
water or spoon. Include the time and description of what you observe.

Maya's Thermal Adventure: Sorting Sorcery

Author Unknown

Once upon a time, in a cozy little town nestled amidst rolling hills and lush forests, there lived
a curious girl named Maya. Maya was known for her love of science and her insatiable thirst for
knowledge. One sunny afternoon, as Maya sat in her room surrounded by her toys and treasures,
she embarked on an exciting quest - to sort her belongings into categories of thermal conductors and
insulators.
With determination sparkling in her eyes, Maya began her sorting sorcery. She picked up her
favorite toy, a shiny metal robot, and held it in her hand. Feeling its coolness against her skin, Maya
declared it a thermal conductor, knowing that metals were excellent at transferring heat. Next, Maya
reached for her soft, fluffy teddy bear and hugged it tightly. As the warmth enveloped her, Maya
smiled and labeled her teddy bear as a thermal insulator, understanding that its plush fur trapped
heat and kept her snuggly warm.
Moving on to her collection of pencils and pens, Maya observed their wooden bodies and
decided they belonged in the thermal insulator category, as wood was not known for conducting
heat efficiently. However, she held onto her metal pencil case and placed it in the conductor section.
She then came across her plastic toys and gadgets, noting their ability to feel neither hot nor cold to
the touch. With a nod of approval, Maya categorized them as thermal insulators too.
As Maya sorted through her belongings, she marveled at the wonders of thermal conductivity
and insulation. Each item told its own story, from the metallic chill of her robot to the comforting
warmth of her teddy bear. With each object carefully categorized, Maya felt a sense of
accomplishment wash over her.
As the sun began to set and the golden rays cast a warm glow through her window, Maya
sat amidst her sorted treasures, feeling grateful for the knowledge she had gained. With a contented
smile, Maya knew that her sorting adventure had not only taught her about thermal properties but
had also ignited her curiosity to explore the wonders of science further.
And so, in the magical world of Maya's room, where toys and treasures came to life through
the lens of science, the sorting sorcery of thermal conductivity and insulation became a tale to be
cherished forevermore.

Lesson Title/ Topic: Thermal Conductors and Insulators

Name: Grade & Section:

I. Activity 7: Classifying materials as to Conductors or Insulators (Group Activity) (30

minutes)

II. Objectives: To classify materials as thermal conductors or insulators by touching.

III. Materials Needed: worksheet, writing materials (ballpen, pencil, etc.); The following materials
must be brought to the classroom and placed on a table at least one hour before the start of
classes: metal spoon, beaker, aluminum ladle, ballpen, P10 coin, plastic spoon, wooden spoon,
iron nail, acetate, steel bar, porcelain mug, floor tile, handkerchief, cardboard

IV. Procedure:
1. Lay down all the materials on a table.
2. Using your hand, hold the material in your hand for about 5 seconds, and record what
you feel (cold, neutral, warm) by checking the appropriate column in the table. Neutral
means it does not feel cold or hot at all.
3. Let another member of the group hold the material for 10 seconds or more after the first
student, Record the sensation felt by checking the appropriate column in the table. All
members of the group should hold the materials. The column with the most frequency will
be considered the answer for the group (majority prevails). Discuss among your group
your final answer.
