Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in TLE-Electrical/Electronics

Concept: Resistor Color Code is a system of colors used to indicate the resistance value of
resistors that uses colored stripes or bands printed on its body.

Value Concept: Color plays a vitally important role in the world in which we live. Color can be a
form of communication. Color can sway thinking, change actions, and cause reactions.

I. Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the students expected to:

1. Identify the colors of resistor color coding accordingly.
2. Calculate the value of resistors based on the color code.
3. Adhere to the importance of using color.
II. Subject Matter: Resistor Color Coding

III. Learning Activities
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer/Greetings/Introduction.
2. Review of the previous topic.
a. What is resistor?
3. Motivation A.: Ask the students about traffic lights.
a. What is a traffic light?
b. How does traffic lights work?
c. What are in the traffic lights?
4. Motivation B:
a. Provide resistor to every student for them to examine.
b. Ask students on their observation of the given resistor.
B. Lesson Proper
1. Introduce resistor color coding
* Explain the concept of resistor color code.
2. Introduce the colors involve in resistor color coding. See the visual aid.
3. Give the technique how to remember the colors.
* Big Boys Race Our Young Girls But Violet Generally Wins Get Serious Now
* Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Venture Goes West Get Serious Now
4. Discuss the designation of the 4 colors/bands resistors.
1st color/band: 1st digit
2nd color/band: 2nd digit
3rd color/band: Multiplier
4th color/band: Tolerance
5. Give at least 3 examples on how to read the value of resistor based on its colors.
6. Ask at least 2 students to read the value of resistor given to them based on a given colors.
7. Discuss the designation of the 4 colors/bands resistors.

1st color/band: 1st digit

2nd color/band: 2nd digit
3rd color/band: 3rd digit
4th color/band: Multiplier
5th color/band: Tolerance
8. Then give at least 3 examples on how to name the colors of resistor from a given resistor
value.
9. Ask at least 2 students to read the value of resistor given to them based on a given colors.
10. Ask the students if they are able to follow the discussion.
C. Generalization: Ask questions that would elicit the ides/concepts taken.
What is color coding of resistor?
How to determine the nominal values of resistors?
D. Valuing: Using the value concept, let the students do the valuing based on the questions.
Why are colors important? How do you relate colors in your daily life?
IV. Evaluation: Determine the value of the following resistors
1. Brown, Black, Red, Gold= 1k 5%
2. Yellow, Violet, Gold, Gold= 4.7 5%
3. 100k 10%= Brown, Black, Yellow, Silver
4. Green, Blue, Black, Black, Brown= 560 1%
5. Orange, Orange, Black, Red, Brown= 33k 1%
V. Assignment
1. What is the other method of determining the values of resistors?
