A. Preparatory Activities
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
1. Drill
Good morning, Class!
Good morning, Teacher.
I will be your science teacher, in the
meantime.
You can call me Teacher Rose.
Are you ready to discover more about the
world of science today?
Yes, Teacher!
Okay, I am glad to hear that.
Let us check the attendance first.
(The teacher will now check the attendance.)
This morning we are going to have a short
game. I will divide the class into four (4)
groups. I will give each group an envelope
and each of them contains scrambled letters
that you need to arrange to form the correct
words. Paste your answers on the board. The
team who will finish first will be the winner
and will receive a reward.
Do you understand?
Yes, Teacher.
The scrambled letters are:
Magnetic
Electricity
Conductor
Insulator
2. Review
Okay, I hope all of you had fun.
Now, let me ask you.
What was our lesson last meeting?
We talked about how electricity can
produce magnets.
Okay, you are right!
How does electricity produce magnets?
Each electron is surrounded by a force
called an electric field. When an electron
moves, it creates a second field—a
magnetic field.
Very good!
You understood our previous lesson. Now, we
will proceed to our next lesson.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Motivation
(Show some pictures to the class)
What is this?
Electric Fan
Is a fan important? Why?
Because it is useful when the weather is hot.
You are right!
How about this one?
It’s a vacuum cleaner.
Is it useful? Why?
It is useful because it helps us clean the
floor easily.
Very good!
What is this?
A personal computer.
Is this important or not?
It is important because we can use it in
searching for information online or for
communication.
Okay, very good.
Do these things use electricity and magnets?
Yes, teacher.
Why do they use those two things?
For them to work and function well.
Okay, very good.
2. Presentation of the Lesson
From the pictures we had a while ago, what
do you think will be our lesson for today?
Any ideas?
I think it’s about useful things, teacher.
Okay, thank you for that idea.
What else?
I think it’s about electricity and magnets,
teacher.
Okay, very good!
Today we will be talking about electricity
and magnets or to be specific,
electromagnets.
3. Setting of Standards
Now, let me ask you.
What will you do when the teacher is talking
in front?
Listen attentively.
If you want to answer, go out, or ask
something, what will you do?
Raise your right hand.
How about if there is a group activity?
Cooperate with the group.
And the most important one?
No bullying.
4. Discussion
Today, we will be talking about
electromagnets and the factors that affect
their strength.
Electricity and magnets are closely related to
each other.
Electricity can produce magnets while
magnets can produce electricity.
Please read aloud.
Magnets
- It is usually made of iron. It can attract
objects such as pins, coins, and other
materials made of iron and steel.
It is usually made of iron. It can attract
objects such as pins, coins, and other
materials made of iron and steel.
A nail is not a magnet, but it can be turned
into one. This is done by coiling a wire
around it and then letting electricity flow
through it. Doing this turns the nail into an
electromagnet.
Please read aloud.
Electromagnet
- is made out of a coil of wire wrapped
around a metal core usually iron and
connected to a battery.
- attracts like a real magnet. It can attract
materials made of metals like pins and
thumbtacks. The iron nail acts as a
magnet while electricity is flowing
through the coil of wire.

around a metal core usually iron and
connected to a battery
- attracts like a real magnet. It can attract
materials made of metals like pins and
thumbtacks. The iron nail acts as a magnet
while electricity is flowing through the coil
of wire.
When the electricity stops flowing through
the coil to the nail, can the nail still attract the
pins and thumbtacks?
No, it can no longer attract the pin and
thumbtacks
Electromagnets are temporary magnets.
When the electricity stops flowing through a
coil of wires, the nail stops attracting any
metal or magnetic.
Please read aloud.
(The students will read what is written)
Factors that Affect the Strength of the
Electromagnet
➢ By using more coils of wire. Each Factors that Affect the Strength of the
turn of the wire adds more force to Electromagnet

➢ The greater the size of the iron core, strength of an electromagnet.
the stronger magnetism an
electromagnet has. ➢ The greater the size of the iron core,
the stronger magnetism an
electromagnet has.
Can you give me more examples of
appliances and modern gadgets that use
electromagnets aside from what was
mentioned earlier?
- Refrigerator
- Washing machine
- Cellphones
- TV
- Radio
- Microphones
- Speakers
5. Generalization
What is an electromagnet?
Is made out of a coil of wire wrapped around
a metal core usually iron and connected to a
battery.
How can we turn a nail into a magnet?
By coiling a wire around it and then letting
electricity flow through it.
What are the factors that affect the strength
of the electromagnet?
- Coils of wire.
- Number or size of dry cells/batteries.
