DepEd MELC reviewer for Grade 7 Science, Quarter 3. Master the concepts, tables, and common-mistake warnings below.
Describing Motion
Distance is total path; displacement is straight-line change in position. Speed = distance รท time.
Waves, Sound, and Light
Waves carry energy. Sound needs a medium; light can travel through a vacuum and is faster.
You see lightning before you hear thunder because light travels much faster than sound.
Heat and Electricity
Heat moves from hot to cold by conduction, convection, and radiation. A circuit needs a source, conductor, and load to make current flow.
Worked Example
A car travels 150 m in 10 s. Find its speed.
Always include units in your final answer.
Before your test, make sure you can confidently do each of the following:
- Explain and apply Describing Motion.
- Explain and apply Waves, Sound, and Light.
- Explain and apply Heat and Electricity.
- Explain and apply Worked Example.
Re-read any section above where you hesitate, then try the worked example again without looking.
