Learning Competencies/Objectives

At the end of the cycle, the students should be able to:

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
2. Infer that when a body exerts a force on another, an equal amount of
force is exerted back on it

ELICIT (10 mins.) ICT MATERIALS

 At the start of the session, the teacher will show the teacher will LED Television
show a video clip on how space rocket takes off and circular motion Video Clip
 Let the students explain how the rocket is launched and circular
motion
 Let the student explain the picture of pen and pencil on the board

ENGAGE (30 mins.) ART

 Ask the following key questions: Pen and paper
1. How did the rocket take off?
2. What makes the rocket move upward?
3. Can you draw the direction of the force exerted by the rocket as it
takes off? Force exerted on the rocket as it takes off?
4. What can you say about the direction of the forces acted by and on
the rocket?
5. Do you think that the forces are equal? Justify your answer.
6. If you can make a lay out of your observation on the launching of
the rocket, how will you describe your law?
 Group 2
- Draw a figure that you saw around with circular motion

EXPLORE (40 mins.) MATH

Designing the Activity: Materials needed per
 Divide the class into 4 groups. Using the materials that they group:
prepared, let them perform the activity below:
2 Spring Balances
Procedure: String
1. Connect 2 spring balances with their hooks. Ask your partner to
hold one end of the balance while you hold the other horizontally.
Pull the spring balance while your partner just holds the other end.
Record the reading on each balance.

o Guide questions:
1. What is the reading on your balance and that of your partner?
What do these values represent?
 2. How do you compare the direction of your partner’s and your
force?

2. Pull the Spring balance harder. Be careful not to exceed the

maximum reading on the spring balance.

o Guide questions:
1. What is the reading on your balance and that of your partner?
2. How do you explain your observation?

3. Attach one end of your spring balance to the wall, while the other
end is connected to the second spring balance. Ask your partner to
pull the spring balance. Observe the reading on each balance.

o Guide questions:
1. What is the reading in each balance?
2. Compare the direction of the forces exerted on the two ends of
the connected spring balance?

EXPLAIN (30 mins.) LANGUAGE

Group Presentation: Manila Paper
Markers
 Each group will present their data to the class.
 Let the four groups compare and analyze their results.
 Ask students to generate a conclusion from their result.

ELABORATE (30 mins.) ICT

 Present the PowerPoint on the law of interaction. PowerPoint
 Summarize the concept through discussion. Presentation
 Give emphasis on the following concept:
1. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

EVALUATE (20 mins.) LANGUAGE

Quiz Pen and Paper
EXTEND (20 mins.) VALUES
 Instruct students to write or make an essay about their experience on Pen and paper
the law of interaction. Ask them to cite a concrete example wherein
they observe it in their daily activities.
 Think about this!
If the object in uniform circular motion is accelerating towards the
center of the circle, why does it maintain a circular path at a constant
radius and never get closer to the center of the circle?
