3rd Quarter Module in Science 5

Protecting and conserving intertidal zones and estuaries are vital to our environment. Can you give some
of the things you should do as Grade five students to contribute in protecting and conserving water
resources and other living organisms in the inter tidal zones and estuaries? Write down on a piece of
paper your answer. Your answer will be checked upon submitting your notebook in the day of retrieval
the of modules/notebooks.
In this lesson, you need to:
1. Elucidate the meaning of motion of an object by tracing and tracing its change in position over a
period of time;
2. Compute the measure the movement of an object in terms of distance and time; and
3. Carry out the value of having a reference point when understanding motion.
Look at the picture below:

Questions:
1. What does the children do in the picture?
2. Do you know what do you call to that traditional Filipino game?
3. Do you experience to play patintero with you friends?
4. What are you going to do in order to win in the game?
5. Do players need to move while playing the patintero? Why is it important to move around and let the
tin be fell on the ground after it was hit by the opponent player?
body movements in any games are necessary to play the game properly and of course to win. Motion
and energy are relatively important in our daily life. Motion and energy work together to make things
easier for us. Through the help of force, motion can be achieved. Without motion, we cannot do work
and enjoy life. Life is so boring without any movement or any motion in it. By definition, motion is a
change of position with respect to its reference point. A reference point is a fixed place or an object
used to determine the position of the object.

The activities that you are going to perform will clearly describe what causes the object to move. Also,
you will measure the distance covered by a moving object which is affected by its speed, or the measure
of how fast it moves. A. Prepare the materials listed below. If not available, you may use other materials
at home to perform the activity. You may ask the help of your parents/guardians or any adult members
of the family if needed. Title: Movement and Motion Materials: Small ball notebook large hardbound
book masking tape Toy car ruler (cm) marker pen
Procedures:
1. Mark a spot on the floor with a masking tape. Label it as Point A.
2. Place the small ball on point A, then blow on it.
3. Using a ruler, record the distance in centimeters if the ball moved away from point A or if it did not
move at all.
4. Place a toy car on point A, then blow on it. As much as possible, apply the same amount of force
applied on the ball.

5. Using a ruler, record the distance in cm if the toy car moved away from point A or did not move at all.
6. Place a notebook on point A, then blow on it with the same amount of force applied on the ball and
the toy car.
7. Using a ruler, record the distance in cm if the notebook moved away from point A or did not move at
all.
8. Repeat steps 1 to 7, but the ball is timed, push the ball, the toy car, and the notebook with your
fingers. Record your observations.
9. Repeat steps 1 to 7, but this time, use one side of the hardbound book as a ramp (45 degrees
inclination). Label its highest point as A. Put the ball, toy car, and notebook one at a time without
applying any force. Observe what will happen to the ball, toy car, and notebook. Record your
observations.
10. Make a table like the one below to record your observations. Put a check ( ) mark if there was
movement after force was applied.
Objects to be moved Blowing Pushing Placing on a ramp
Ball
Toy Car
Notebook

Questions:
1. Which action causes all the objects move?
2. Why do you think this action causes movement?
3. Which among the objects is the hardest to move? Why?
4. Which among the objects is the easiest to move? Why?
5. What is the importance of point A in determining the movement of the objects?

B. Prepare the materials listed below. If not available, you may use other materials at home to perform
the activity. You may ask the help of your parents/guardians or any adult members of the family if
needed. Title: Measure It!
Materials: 3 books of equal thickness marble 2 rulers of the same size metric tape measure
Procedures:
1. Position the rulers together on a book with a distance from each other that would fit a marble. The
rulers would serve as a ramp for the marbles.
2. Release the marble between the rulers. Measure in centimeters the distance covered by the marble.
Take note of the time in seconds as the marble travels.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for trial 2.
4. Put another book on top of the first book. Repeat steps 1 to 3.
5. Put another book on top of the two books. Repeat steps 1 to 3. 6. Record your measurement in the
table in the next page.

Two books (setup B)
Three books (setup C)

Questions:
1. What setup resulted to the shortest distance traveled by the marble? Why do you think the marble
traveled the shortest distance with this setup?
2. What setup resulted to the longest distance traveled by the marble? Why do you think the marble
traveled the longest distance with this setup?
3. How can measuring distance help us in comparing things in motion?
4. What is the effect of height on the distance a marble travels from a ramp?
5. What is the speed of the marbles in Trial 1 and 2?

Remember this: Pull or push as part of exerting force may also relative on the distance on the object
when it is move from one point to another. However, distance is the measure of how far or near two
points are from another. It can be measured using different ways such as time, landmark or body parts.
For example, when you are going to school the distance of the school from your house is two kilometers
away and you spend one hour of walking just to get there in your school. This may not validate that you
spent less time going to school that going to church which is far apart from the school. There are factors
to be consider like traffic or winding road that can be affected your travel time. Therefore, there are
appropriate tools and ways to measure distance so that you can tell whether the object is near or far.
Distance is measured by using tools such as meter stick, tape measure, measuring wheel and ultrasonic
distance measurer. On the other hand, the distance covered by a moving object is affected by speed, or
the measure of how fast it moves. Speed of an object can be calculated by dividing the distance covered
by an object in motion by the time spent to cover the distance.
Speed= distance covered or s= d time t For example: Geros traveled 5 meters away with her bike from
her house going to plaza in 120 seconds. In getting the speed of Geros’ bike, following the formula
stated above: Speed= 5 meters 120 seconds Speed = 0.42 meter per seconds The speed of Geros’ bike is
0.42 m/s from her house to the plaza

Rush. Tagaytay is 70 meters away from their home and they tend to get there in just 35 minutes. What
will be the speed the car needed to land in Tagaytay?
