Lesson Plan in Physical Science
Damulaan National High School
Leyte Division
January 15, 2020 Grade 12 HUMSS Cherry (7:30-
8:30)
I. OBJECTIVE
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
determine if a molecule is polar or non polar given its structure (S11/12PS-IIIc-
15).
II. SUBJECT MATTER
A. Topic: The Polarity of a Molecule Based on Its Structure
B. References: Curriculum guide pp. 3
Quipper.com
C. Materials: Laptop, chalkboard, chalk, manila paper
D. Values Integration: Rationality— able to form judgements from data gathered and to
think logically.
III. PROCEDURE
A. Preliminary Activities
Prayer
Checking of attendance
Review
How does the concept of the atomic number lead to the synthesis of elements?
Motivation
Did you know that such molecule may exhibit polarity based on its 3-
dimensional shape?
B. Lesson Proper
1. Activity
The class will be divided into four teams. Each team will determine the following
as polar or nonpolar by following the steps written on the board.
Team A: CO2
Team B: NH2
Team C: H2O
Team D: SO2
2. Analysis
Each team will present their ideas in front of the class.
3. Abstraction
Polarity means having dipoles, a positive and a negative end. Based on
polarity, molecules can be polar or nonpolar.
Polar molecules have dipoles. Their dipole moments do not add up to zero (or
do not cancel out).
Nonpolar molecules do not have positive or negative ends. Their dipole
moments add up to zero (they cancel out).
In general, you can tell if a molecule is polar or nonpolar based on
the shape of the molecule and the polarity of the individual bonds present in
the molecule.
4. Application
Consider the examples below to help you understand the concept of polarity.
Below are the images of a magnet bar, a block of wood, and a battery.
Which of the three show(s) polarity?
IV. EVALUATION
Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless gas. A solution of ammonia in water is used as a cleaning
agent. Determine if ammonia is polar or nonpolar.
V. ASSIGNMENT
Read in advance the next lesson.
