Very good!
So, can you give me an example
of a weather condition and its Sir, for sunny day, we can wear
safety precaution? loose-fitting, light-colored
clothing made from breathable
fabric and drink plenty of cool
liquids, especially water, before
you feel thirsty to decrease your
risk of dehydration.
Very Good, Aside from sunny
day, what else?
Sir, for windy days, get indoors,
if possible, when high winds are
occurring and stay away from
windows.
Very Good Arnold. So those
were some examples of weather
condition and its safety
precaution that we can do.
Now, do you have any questions
or clarification on our previous
lesson?
Now, before we start our lesson None Sir!
proper, let’s have a short game.
I need some volunteers consist
of 3 pairs.
Activity 1: Fact or Bluff
Instruction: Series of statement
will be posted. The students will
identify if the following
statement is a fact or a bluff.
Statement No. 1:
We can run/walk faster than
our shadow.
Statement No. 2
The sun is our main source of
(Full participation of the
light.
students)
Statement No. 3
We can create a shadow
without the help of any
light/light source.
Statement No. 4
The shadow of a tree will
remain in the same position
throughout the day.
Statement No. 5
The shape of an object will
never change on its shadow,
regardless of where it is located.
And now we’re done. It was fun sir
Congratulations to the winning
pair! So how was it?
So, based on the statement
posted a while ago. What do
you think will be our lesson for Sir, our lesson for this morning
today? has something to do with
shadows and its formation.
Very good!
This morning, we will discuss
the changes in the position and
length of shadows in the
surroundings as the position of
the Sun changes.
Now, I will be posting series of
Yes sir
pictures and you’ll need to
analyze it. Are you ready?
Here’s the first picture. What can you
notice on it?
Sir, there’s a car, a tree, a clock, and the Sun.
Sir, since the sun is visible,
there’s a light source. I notice
that there’s no shadow on the
objects.
Very good, Maurice. How about the
others? Do you notice anything on Sir, the clock says it’s 7:00 AM

shadow on this photo but the sun is
visible. How about the others, do you
notice anything aside from those?
Excellent observation, John! That’s
correct. It’s sunrise, it’s 7:00 in the
morning since the sun is on the East.
But Jenny mentioned a while ago
that there’s no shadow. Sir, I think it should be place at
the left part of the tree, left part

think these shadow/shadows were
placed?
Very good, Anna! That’s correct. The
placement of the shadow is usually
opposite on the position of a certain
object and here’s the correct
illustration of that:
Let’s now move on to the next
picture and tell me what you
can notice.
Sir, based on the picture posted,
the sun is slightly adjusted to
left side and the clock says it’s
10:00 AM.
Good catch, Jerome! The objects
were not changed but the time Sir, I think it’s almost the same
and the sun are. But we can all with what we had a while ago
notice, the shadows were during 7:00 AM but the shadows
missing again. Who can help me were slightly adjusted into small

Precisely! That’s a good answer
Andrew. That’s correct, it’s
almost the same but the Sun’s
position can affect the position
of the shadow.
Here’s the correct illustration of it.
How about this one? What can
Sir, it’s 12:00 in the afternoon

and the position of the Sun is
now in the middle.
Sir, it should be below the tree
Exactly! How about the

pretty sure with the house/barn.
Where do you think we can see
the shadows here?
Good observation, Nicole! As we
can see, the placement of the
Sun is upward and it’s directly
above the objects. Therefore,
we can locate the shadow below
these objects if there are
available space/s where the
light cannot penetrate.
Here’s the correct illustration
on that.
Yes sir
Are we clear so far? Any
question?
Excellent. Now let’s move on to
the next picture and tell me Sir, it’s 3:00 in the afternoon
what you can observe. and the placement of the Sun is
adjusted to left side.
Sir, I think this time it will be
placed on the right side since
wementioned awhile ago that
shadows were usually on the
opposite position of objects.
Very good, Joshua! So same
question, where do you think is
the placement of the shadows in
this picture?
Precisely! Good catch, Karl!
Here’s the correct illustration on
that.
Sir, it’s 5:00 PM already the sun
is now completely position on
the west. Therefore, it’s almost
sunset.
And for the last picture, please
take a look and tell me what
Yes Sir, there is. Since the sun is

still visible, there should be
shadows just like before.
Exactly! Good answer, Jenny!
It’s almost sunset since it’s
5:00PM. But do you think there
are still shadows at this
moment?
Good answer, Shaira! That’s There’s none, Sir.
correct. Here’s the placement of
shadows at this moment.
Are we all clear? Any questions
or clarification?
