SIMPLIFIED MELC-BASED BUDGET OF LESSONS IN SCIENCE 8

Performance Standard (PS): Develop a written plan and implement a “Newton’s Olympics”.
MELC 1: Investigate the relationship between the amount of force applied and the mass of the object to the amount of change in the
object’s motion (S8FE-Ia-15).
Duration: 1 week (4 hours)
24
 What is the primary cause of
changes in motion?
 Have forces always resulted in
motion?
 What are the conditions for an
object to stay at rest, to keep
moving at constant velocity,
or to move with increasing
velocity?
AUGUST 2020
25
 What happen to the object if
we applied equal amount of
forces, but in opposite
directions? What if the forces
applied are not equal?
 What balance and unbalance
forces can do with the
amount of change in the
motion of an object?
* The Teacher will ask the learners
to construct a free-body diagram
to show balanced and unbalanced
forces.
26
 Why objects around us move
and move the way they do?
 What keeps an object to
continue to move or stay at
rest?
 What is inertia?
 What object has greater
inertia, light object or heavy
object?
 State the Law of Inertia.
 Why is it important to use
seatbelts while driving or
while riding on a jeepney?
* The Teacher will give examples
of scenarios that show INERTIA.
27
 Is there any relationship between
acceleration and any unbalanced
force that acts on the object? Will the
mass of the object affects its
acceleration?
 State Law of Acceleration.
 Express mathematically the Law of
Acceleration.
 Appropriate equation conversion
based on the given and unknown.
 Solve word problems related to the
Law of Acceleration.
