Chapter1: Motion
Lesson 2:Using Appropriate Measuring Tools and Correct Standard
Units in Measuring Time and Distance of Objects in Motion.
 Speed and Velocity

Duration: 2 days

I. Objectives:

Using appropriate measuring tools and correct standard units in measuring time and
distanceof objects in motion.

II. A. Materials
 pictures
 diagram

B. Reference/s:

Curriculum Guide S5FE- IIIb-2

Science and Health 6,pp.250-254
C. Process Skills: inferring, communicating, observing, describing, explaining
D. Values Integration: Consideration for others and accuracy in measurements.

III. Learning Tasks

(Day 1 )
A. Engagement:
1. Review the effects of force on the size of the person who push through game.
a. Call a small boy and a big boy in class.
b. Ask them to push the teacher’s table one at a time in 10 seconds.
Who do you think was able to push the table farther?
Who exerted less effort/ force to push?
Does the size of the body affect the force to be exerted to push the table? Prove your answer.

B. Exploration:

1. Group the pupils into four small group.

2. Set norms in performing the activities.
3. Let the pupils perform the activity on LMLesson 2: “Speed and Velocity”
4. Distribute the activity charts to the group.
5. Supervise the pupils while performing the activity and give assistance whenever needed.
6. Allot time for the pupils to wrap and finalize their output.

C. Explanation:
1. Let the pupils present/report their outputs.
2. Process all their answers.

1. If you were to go to your friend’s house, draw an arrow to show which route or way you’ll
take? Why will you take that route?(Pupils will trace their answers.)
2. If you follow the streets, is there more than one route that would be the same distance?
(Yes, let them show their answer by tracing the route.)
3. Could you go from A to B by a shorter route and do not follow the streets? (Yes, by moving
diagonally straight toward the South-West direction)

(Day 2)
D. Elaboration/ Extension:
1. Ask:
What does speed mean?
Is speed the same as velocity?
How does speed or velocity of a moving object?
What instrument is used to measure the speed on the dashboard of a car /bus?
What is the formula in finding the time and the distance travelled?
2. Discuss further.

Background Information for Teachers:

Motion is descrived as a change in position. The simplest kindof motion is motion in a
straight line and at a constant rate. Speed descibes the rate of motion of an object. It is
measured with a speedometer. Speed and velocity are both used to describe motion. But
velocityis the rate of motion or speed in a certain direction. So, velocity is a more complete
description of motion.
If the speedometer of a car indicates 70 kph, has thecar moved for an hour? Or has
the car traveled 70kilometers?
Speed is indicated in the speedometer but neither the time nor the distance traveled is
indicated. When the terms speed and velocity are used, the total amout of time and the
distance traveled are not specified. However, the relationship between distance, speed and
time are shown below. If any of the three factors are known, you can calculate the third factor.
Distance travelled= speed x time
Ex. # 1. A car travels ata constant speed of twenty meters per second. how far will the
car travel in ten seconds? in forty seconds?
Solution: Distance = 20 meters x 10 seconds = 200 meters
Ex. # 2. How long would it take the car to travel two hundred meters if it was moving at
a speed of twenty meters per second?
Solution: Time = 200 meters = 10 seconds
20 meters
Ex. # 3. If a car travels at 200 meters in ten seconds, what is the speed of the train?

Solution: Speed = 200 m = 20 m/sec

10 sec

Speed is usually not constant. An increase in speed or velocity is called acceleration.

A decrease in speed or velocity is called deceleration.

E. Evaluation:
Identify the word or group of words described in each sentence.
________________1. It is any change in the speed or direction on an object.
________________ 2. It is an instrument used to measure speed.
________________ 3. It isa decrease in the speed or velocity of a moving objects.
________________ 4. It is the instrument used to measure the speed of the vehicle.
________________ 5. It is the rate of motion or the rate of change in position.

IV. Assignment:
 A car travels at a constant speed of twenty meters per second. How far the car travel in
ten seconds?in twenty seconds?in forty seconds?
