LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Describing Motion of an


Object Background Information for Learners

Describing the motion of object, there must be a change in position with respect to a reference
point. A position or location of an object must be specified at all times from a reference point.
A reference point of an object is defined as the origin or starting point for measuring motion.
There are many ways of describing motion in our surroundings. One way is to relate the change
of position to distance and time. When you study motion, you will come across the concepts of
distance and displacement, speed and velocity, and acceleration.
Distance refers to the total length of the path travelled by an object. Displacement on the other
hand refers to the shortest distance between the object’s initial position and its point of
destination, it also indicates direction where the object is going.

Fig. 1. Illustration of the difference between distance and displacement.

After knowing the difference between distance and displacement, it is also important to
know the rate of an object that is in motion. It is best described when we include the element of
time.
In science, anything that is being timed is called rate. Thus, to know how fast or slow a body is
moving, we have to get its rate of motion which is commonly referred to as speed. Speed refers
to how fast the object is moving. It tells the distance the object travelled over a period of time.
Velocity and acceleration both describe motion. In Physics, velocity is described as a vector
quantity as it has both magnitude and direction, wherein the magnitude represents speed and
direction shows its direction of motion.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Like velocity, this is a vector
quantity that has a direction as well as a magnitude.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Visual Representation of Motion

Practice Personal Hygiene at all times 13


Background Information for Learners
Motion means movement. In ever day life we see some objects at rest and some others
in motion. Rotation and revolution of Earth, continuous expansion of the Universe, ball rolling
down the hill, a train travelling along the tracks are all examples of motion.
Motion is a continuous change in the position of an object with respect to a stationary
object. It is described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time, and
speed.
A moving object may not always be in a uniform motion. The rate at which an object moves
can be different. Objects moving with different rate will take a different amount of time to
cover a given distance. One of the ways of measuring the rate of motion of an object is by
using tape charts and motion graphs.
This module will provide you the scientific knowledge and skills necessary to describe
motion along a straight path. You will learn to describe the motion of objects in terms of
position, distance travelled, and speed. You will also learn to analyze or represent motion of
objects using charts, diagrams, and graphs. While these all provide the same information about
the motion of objects, you will find out that one may be more helpful than the other depending
on your objective.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS WAVES


Practice Personal Hygiene at all times 20
Background Information for Learners

Every day you come across on different types of waves. The sound you hear when the
school bell rings depend on sound waves. The rainbow you see after the rain depends on light
waves. A tiny wave can travel across the water in a glass, while a huge wave can travel across
the ocean. Sound waves, light waves, and water waves seem very different from one another.
So what exactly is a wave?

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from one place to another. Matter is NOT
carried with the wave. A wave can move through matter (called a "medium"), but some waves
do not need a medium to be able to move. If a wave needs a medium, we call it a mechanical
wave. If a wave can travel without a medium, (for example, through space), we call it an
electromagnetic wave. One good example of energy transfer by waves is the wave caused by an
earthquake. The ground shakes from side to side and up and down as the wave move through it.
The ground does not travel with the wave but it is the energy that travels in a wave. In the case
of an earthquake, the kinetic energy from the movement of the ground is being transferred. The
waves crashing in the shore trying to knock you down is another good example. Ocean waves
travel from the middle of the ocean to the shore, one after another.

Now that you have basic understanding on how waves transfer energy, let us now move
to the fundamental indicators of the wave’s energy:
1. Frequency – the number of waves passing a point in a certain time; measured in wave
per second or Hertz (Hz); the higher the frequency, the closer the waves and the greater
the energy
2. Amplitude – the distance from the center line or from rest position to crest (highest
point) or trough (lowest point); the energy of the wave varies directly to its amplitude
3. Wavelength – the distance between two successive crests or troughs; measured in
meters (m); a higher frequency causes a shorter wavelength and greater energy
4. Speed – the measure of the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time; it is
determined by the type of wave and the nature of the medium.

Learning Competency with Code


Infer that waves carry energy. (S7LT-IIIc-4)

Characteristics of Sound Waves

Background Information for Learners

We communicate with each other through sound. It enables us to send a message to


someone, aids us in letting out our emotions and serves as a channel for our enjoyment.
But wait, can you imagine this world without sound? We would have enjoyed the chirping of
birds, laughing of kids, whispering of trees and listening to music. But what if all of them
would have sounded the same? Some would have become annoying and unwanted.

That is why studying the characterisitics of sound wave becomes very interesting. Why
each sound sounds different from the others?

Features of a Sound Waves

We know that sound is a form of energy. Sound travels in the forms of waves. Its nature,
however, is different from that of electromagnetic waves. We cannot see sound waves, but we
can measure all their properties.

Sound is composed of waves of compression and rarefaction which are detected by the ears.
These waves move through the air or other substances, strike our eardrums and are “heard” by
our brains. The compressions and rarefactions of a longitudinal sound wave can be compared
to the parts of a transverse wave (see Figure 2 and 3).

Figure 2. A transverse wave consisting of its different parts

Practice Personal Hygiene at all times 27


Figure 3. A longitudinal wave consisting of compressions and rarefactions

The size of a compression indicates how much energy the sound wave has. This means
that a sound wave with a high amplitude will have large compressions. A sound wave with a
low amplitude will have small compressions.

Characteristics of Sound

Do you noticed the vibration of the speakers as you increase the volume of your stereo?
How do sound waves change as you increase its volume?

a. Loudness
The loudness of a sound also refered to as volume, is determined mainly by the
amplitude of the sound wave. Volume can be increased or decreased by increasing or
decreasing amplitude of the sound waves. Higher amplitude means molecules have
higher energy and they can travel larger distance, thus giving loudest sound. b. Pitch
The pitch of a sound is the perception of highness or lowness. It depends almost
completely on the frequency of the sound wave. The high frequency waves produce
high pitch sound and low frequency waves produce low pitch sound.
Hertz (Hz) is a unit to measure frequency and so pitch is measured in hertz. A
human ear can hear sounds of frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, known
as audio frequency range. Above 20, 000Hz is called ultrasonic sound while below
20 Hz is called infrasonic.
Take note also, that there is a change in frequency or pitch of a sound if there is
movement of either the source or the listener, or both. This phenomenon is called
the Doppler effect, named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler (1803-
1853) who discovered it.
c. Quality or Timbre
Timbre or tone color or tone quality of a sound is used to distinguish between
two different sounds that have the same pitch and loudness. Tone quality is very
important since it helps us to identify what produced the sound.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Color and Characteristics of


Light Wave

Background Information for Learners


Do you still remember Sir Isaac Newton? What about Christian Huygens? Did you meet them
in your earlier grades? These people were the first to study about light. In this learning activity
sheet, you will learn about light. You will also find out that there are different sources of light
and that light exhibits different characteristics and properties.
Sir Isaac Newton believed that light behaves like a particle while Christian Huygens
believed that light behaves like a wave. A third scientist, Max Planck came up with what is
now known as the Dual-Nature of Light. He explained that light can be a particle and can also
be a wave. To complete our knowledge about the nature of light, James Clark Maxwell
proposed the Electromagnetic Theory of Light.
While these scientists dig deep into the nature of light and how light are propagated, let
us be more familiar with ordinary materials we use as common sources of light. The Sun for
example is known as a natural source of light. Sun is also considered as a luminous body (an
object capable of producing its own light). Other sources are the lamps, bulbs, and candles.
These are the artificial sources.
Energy transformation is needed to convert or transform forms of energy to light or
other forms. In bulbs, electrical energy is converted to light. In lamps, chemical energy is
transformed to light.

Learning Competency with Code


Explain color and intensity of light in terms of its wave characteristics. (no code in the
MELC)

ACTIVITY 1 MY

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Heat Transfer Background
Information for Learners

Energy can exist in many forms and heat is one of the most interesting. Heat is often
hidden, as it only exists when in transit, and transferred by a number of distinctly different
methods. Heat transfer touches every aspect of our lives and helps us understand how the
universe functions.
Heat transfer is related to change in temperature or change in the relative hotness or
coldness of an object. Whenever there is a temperature difference, heat transfer occurs.

Heat transfer mechanisms can be grouped into 3 broad categories:

1. Conduction- the energy from the object of higher temperature is transferred to the other
object through their particles that are close or in contact with each other.
2. Convection- occurs when heat is transferred through a gas or liquid by the hotter
material moving into a cooler area.
3. Radiation- the transfer of energy from the sun across nearly empty space.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Charging Process

Background Information for Learners

Charging means gaining or losing electron. Matters can be charged in three ways,
charging by friction, charging by contact and charging by induction.

Types of Charging Processes

1. Charging by Friction- When you rub one material to another, they are charged by
friction. Material losing electron is positively charged and material gaining electron is
negatively charged. Amount of gained and lost electron is equal to each other. In other words,
we can say that charges of the system are conserved.

2. Charging by Conduction/ Contact- There are equal numbers of electrons and protons in
a neutral matter. If something changes this balance, we can say it is charged. Look at the
following picture;

In this picture, negatively charged rod touches to the neutral sphere and some of the
electrons pass to the sphere. As a result, neutral sphere is charged by contact. If the rod is
positively charged, then some of the electrons of sphere pass to the rod and when we separate
them, sphere becomes positively charged. Picture given below shows the flow of electrons
from sphere to the rod.

3. Charging by Induction- We can also charge conductors without contact. Examine the
given picture, it shows this type of charging.

A and B conductors are neutral at the beginning. When we put a positively charged plate near
them, it attracts the electrons in the conductors. Electrons move to the left part and protons
stays.
Thus, when we separate plates A and B they are charged by induction, A is negatively charged
and B is negatively charged. Be careful, there is no contact, they are charged only by induction.

Describe the different types of charging processes. (S7LT-IIIj-13)
