 Lesson
Effects of Force on the
1 Size & Shape of an Object
In this module, you will learn about the effects of force on the size
and shape of an object.
At the end of this lesson, you will able to:
1. explain the effects of force when applied to an object (S4FEIIIa-1)

What is It
 Force is either a push or a pull. It can be due to gravity,
magnetism, friction or anything that might cause an object to
move.
 Force can change the shape, size or movement of an object:
 The shape of an object changes when force is applied on it.
Pushing, pulling, pounding, compressing, bending, twisting,
tearing, stretching or squeezing are some ways of changing the
shape of an object.
Pushing- a force is exerted on someone or something with one’s
hand to move them away.
Pulling- force is exerted on someone or something toward
oneself.
Pounding-hitting or striking an object
Pressing- to flatten by pressure
Bending- to make something straight into curve or angle
Squeezing-firmly pressing an object using one’s fingers
Stretching-enables the soft or elastic object longer or wider
without breaking
Twisting-to form into a bent or curl or distorted shape
Tearing-a force is applied by breaking apart a material
Compressing-to press or squeeze together
 When force is applied to an object, the size of an object may
change. Some situations where force is applied and changed the
size are the following: dropping a flower vase and pounding
2
 styrofoam cup. Some materials may become bigger, smaller,
longer, or shorter when force is applied to it.

What’s More
I.Directions: Answer the following questions. Write only the letter
in your answer sheet.
1.Which of the objects below may change its shape and size after

B. a metal toy D. all of the above

2. What happens when a rubber band is stretched?

A. It changes its size. C. It changes its color and size.
B. It changes its shape. D. Both A & B

3. When a force is applied on a modelling clay, what happens to its

shape?
A. Its shape changes. C. It has no change.
B. It stays the same. D. Both A & B

4. How does the shape of an object change?

A. by pushing C. by pounding
B. by twisting D. all of the above

5. What is the effect of force on the size and shape of the materials?
A. Some materials may change their size and shape when force is
applied to it.
B. All materials may change their size and shape when force is
applied to it.
C. Only the size of the material is changed when force is applied.
D. Only the shape of the material is changed.
