MODULE 1: FIRST QUARTER: FORCE, MOTION AND ENERGY


LESSON 1: Nature of Force and Newton’s Laws of motion
TIME FRAME: (2 weeks)
● Introduction
Force, motion and energy are interrelated concepts. Kinematics, the science of
describing motion, was largely developed by Galileo. However, Galileo did not investigate
the causes of motion. It was Sir Isaac Newton, born in the same year Galileo died, who
did so. Newton studied the effects of force on the motion of an object. The study of the
causes of motion is called dynamics. Newton’s systems of dynamics were embodied in
his three laws of motion. An application of force through a distance not only changes
motion but also changes the energy of an object from one form to another.

Most of the motions we come across in our daily life are non-uniform and the
primary cause of changes in motion is the presence of Force. But do you believe that
force always results in motion of objects? What do you think are the possible conditions
for an object to stay at rest, or to keep moving at constant velocity, or to move with
increasing velocity? How is force related to acceleration? And why are there objects
travelling in a circular path? These are some of the questions that you will be answering
in this lesson. In this module, you will learn about the nature and effects of force on motion.
You will also learn the principles behind Newton’s three Laws of Motion and uniform
circular motion. These are very significant concepts in understanding the motion of objects
in our universe. All of these lessons will help you realize the idea behind classical
mechanics and the applications in real-life situations.

● LESSON 1.1: Net Force (Resultant Force)


In this lesson, you will be learning about the nature and effects of force to motion.
You will also discover in your activities why objects stay at rest or in motion and the factors
affecting the motion of objects. As you go through the activities in this module, always
remember to seek the answers to these questions; What does force have to do with
motion? How can motion be controlled? What are the practical applications of the laws of
motion to real life situations?

I. ENGAGE

III. EXPLAIN
A force may not always cause an object to move, especially if there is more than one force
present. The presence of another force may cancel the effect of the other force; thus, causing no
change in the state of motion of an object. However, If a single force is present, it can cause a
change in the state of motion. This single force that acts and causes a change in the state of
motion of an object is known as the net force or resultant force. The resultant force is the vector
sum of all the forces acting on an object. In addition, an object with a larger mass needs a
stronger force to be moved along in different directions.

The Net Force can be calculated with this simple equation:


Fnet = m x a
Where;
F=
Resultant Force or Net Force (N)
m = Mass (kg)
a=
Acceleration (m/s2)
❖ Types of Forces

Forces can be classified into two basic types based on how they are applied or how
they act on the other objects. Those forces that require physical contact between objects are
called contact force. The other type of force is called non-contact force or action-at-a distant
force or field force. The latter does not require physical contact to have any effect on the other
object. Examples of contact forces include applied force, normal force, frictional force, air
resistance force, tensional force, and spring force. Meanwhile, non-contact forces include the
following examples: gravitational force, electrical force, and magnetic force.
After reading the short input, create a concept map to classify the different types of force in your
science notebook.

❖ Force as a Vector

Quantities in science are measurable and are expressed in a numerical value and a unit,
collectively referred to as the magnitude. Quantities that are completely specified by magnitude
alone are called scalars. Mass, time, distance, speed, and temperature are examples of scalar
quantities. Physical quantities that require both magnitude and direction for their specifications
are called vectors. Force, velocity, and acceleration are examples of vector quantities. After
reading some important concepts about force, you may now do Task 1. Problem Solving. Net
force on page 4 of your science work text. Use the equation above to solve the problems and to
find out what will be the exact amount of force applied in an object. You may refer to a sample
problem in your work text for your guide.

IV. ELABORATE

find out how. You will also realize how his contributions made an impact to society.

Isaac Newton
(1643-1727)

Isaac Newton, a British physicist and mathematician. He was born prematurely on December
25, 1642. As a child and a son of a farmer, he did not show signs of brilliance, but showed interest
in reading books. When he studied at the university of Cambridge, which he did for five years, he
graduated without distinction.
But Isaac Newton became one of the most brilliant scientists in history. Before the age of
30, he formulated the basic concepts and laws of universal gravitation, invented the mathematical
method of calculus, and made many observations about the nature of light. Newton was able to
explain the motion of planets, and the ebb and flow of tides. In 1705 Newton was the first scientist
to be knighted by Queen Anne.

Processing Questions;
1. What can you say about the life of Isaac Newton?

2. What are the scientific attitudes that helped Isaac Newton to become a very successful
scientist? Explain your answer.

3. How important are the scientific attitudes and values in your life?

V. EVALUATE
Directions: Make a short report of the different causes of accidents at home. Discuss how
the knowledge of force and motion could prevent these accidents. Your report should have the

● LESSON 1.2: Law of Inertia


In this lesson you will learn about the first law of motion and the principles behind it.

I. ENGAGE
The principles of Newton’s First Law of Motion were primarily based on the works of
Galileo. Encircle the concepts which relate to Newton’s First law of motion.

INTERACTION OBJECT AT REST UNBALANCED FORCE

INERTIA NET FORCE DIFFRACTION

OBJECT IN MOTION CIRCULAR MOTION MASS

NANOMETER JOULE NEWTON

II. EXPLORE
Why are automobile headrests and seat belts necessary? How do inertia cause buildings to
collapse during an earthquake? To understand the concept of inertia, perform Activity 2.
Investigating Inertia on your Explore and Experience Science Work text.

III. EXPLAIN
Process questions:

1. What is inertia?

2. Which has a greater inertia- a small stone or a huge rock?

3. What does the law of inertia state?

Based on your previous activity, you might have noticed that a 5-peso coin will not drop into
an empty glass without exerting a force in flicking the cardboard; a stack of coins at the bottom
will not move without applying a force in a ruler. Some of the key points of Newton’s first law of
motion are the following;
A. It states that a body continues in its state of rest or in its state of motion at constant velocity
provided that no net force acts on it.
B. If an object is at rest, it tends to remain at rest unless acted upon by an external
unbalanced force.
C. If an object is moving, it tends to continue moving in a straight line without turning or
changing speed.

Imagine yourself seated in a stationary car. When the car suddenly starts and accelerates,
what happens to your body? What will happen if the car suddenly stops again?

❖ Inertia and Mass- “Every object possesses inertia. An object’s inertia depends on its mass.
Mass is the measure of an object's inertia.”

Every object possesses inertia. An object’s inertia depends on its mass. Mass is the measure
of inertia. For example, if Box A has less inertia than Box B. Then Box A will be easier to move
than box B. Which means that the larger the mass of an object the greater its inertia.

Directions: Put a check mark on the statements that describe the Law of Inertia.

1._____Pulling the tablecloth out from under the dishes.


2._____Shaking the water off of your hands.
3._____Pushing the gas pedal harder for a car to go faster.
4._____Knocking the card out from under the table.
5._____Opposing forces from wind and the road will not let the car accelerate because the
forces are equal.

III. EXPLAIN

Based on your previous activity, you might have noticed that the motion of an object will be
accelerated if you add more force on it. This is one of the main points about Newton’s second law
of motion. But did you ever observe the motion of objects in your activity? Why is it that the object
still travels in a circular path when it is released?
Centripetal force

-is the force that is necessary to


keep an object moving in a curved
path and is directed inward toward
the center of rotation.

In the case of circular motion, the whirling object accelerates not due to the change in its
speed but to the change in the direction of its velocity. By Newton’s second law of motion, a net
force must be acting on accelerating objects. So where is this net force coming from? For the
object to move in a horizontal circle, what must you do? You have to “pull the object inward
towards the center of the circular path, right? So the force comes from the string that pulls the
object towards the center of its circular path. If you remove this force by either cutting or releasing
the string, you will observe that the object will continue to move straight and fly off tangentially to
the path. This is the natural tendency of the object if there is no net force acting on it, according
to the First Law of Motion. But because of the net force from the string, instead of going straight,
the object accelerates inwards thereby covering a circular path. The object is said to be in uniform
circular motion.

The acceleration of an object travelling in a straight path is directly proportional to the net
force acting on it, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

The acceleration of an object can be computed using the equation on the right side the below;

● LESSON 1.4: Law of Interaction


In this lesson, you will be learning about the third law of motion, the law of interaction
or the law of action and reaction.

I. ENGAGE

Let’s move on to the third law of motion which is the law of interaction. The first law looked
into how moving and stationary objects behave in the absence of external force, the second law
of motion discussed how force, as well as the object’s mass, can influence the motion of an object.
The third law of motion will focus our attention to the forces of interacting bodies.

Process questions:
1. What does the Law of Interaction state?

2. Which are the action and reaction forces when launching a rocket spaceship?

3. Would a rocket ship still be propelled if only half as much gas is released as its exhaust?

You have learned from the activity that in every action, there is always an equal but opposite
reaction. “Can you identify in the activity which objects pertain to action and reaction? To learn
more about the third law of motion, Isaac Newton stated that “forces are equal in magnitude but
opposite in direction”. This table sums up the idea of the third law.

Action-Reaction forces
Two forces are equal in size.
Two forces are opposite to each
other in terms of direction.
Two forces have the same line of action.
Action acts on one object, while reaction acts on another object.

The law of interaction implies that forces do not occur singly but occur in pairs as a result
of the interaction between two bodies. For example, when you step forward from rest, your foot
pushes backward on earth and earth exerts an equal and opposite force on you.

Note: That the equal and opposite forces do not act on the same body. If they did, there would
be no resultant force and acceleration would be impossible

MODULE 1: Work, Power and Energy
LESSON 2: Work and Power
TIME FRAME: 2 Weeks

● Introduction:
You have heard adults say” I am so tired from working on the computer all day!” or “all the
paperwork I had to do today drained my energy”. Are these claims rooted in scientific reasoning?
In the scientific sense, when is work really done? Does the amount of work that one can do relate
to one’s power and energy? How can we do a lot of work?
In Module 1, you used Newton’s Laws to analyze the motion of objects. You investigated
the motion of an object in relation to force, mass and acceleration. In this module, motion will be
investigated from the perspective of work and energy. The concept of force, which you have taken
up in Module 1, will be related to the concepts of work, power and energy. Find out as we journey
together in these lessons and discover the relationship of work, power and energy and learn about
the factors that may affect each of these important concepts. As you go through this lesson,
always to address the question “How can a lot of work be done?”

● LESSON 2.1: Work and Power
In this lesson you will learn about the relationship between work and power. As
you go through in this lesson always remember to address this question, how can a lot of work
be done?

I. ENGAGE
Have you ever tried wishing a certain task can be done easily? Or better yet quickly? Have
you ever wished you could pull off a task at much less time? Let’s find out the possibility of these
things as we explore the scientific concepts behind work and power.

Directions: Identify which situations show that work is done by putting a check mark inside the
pictures and put x mark otherwise

II. EXPLORE

Work is done when force is applied and the object moves prior to the direction of the applied
force. The equation to determine the amount of work done is;
Where;
W = work (J) Work =F x d
F = magnitude of the net force (N)
d = magnitude of the displacement (m)

The equation above is only applicable for constant forces parallel to the displacement. The
unit of work is the unit of force multiplied by the unit of displacement. When force is expressed in
Newton’s (N) and distance in meters (m), work is in newton-meters (N-m) or joules (J), 1 J=1
Newton meter= 1 kg m2 /s2. One joule is the amount of work done when a force of one newton
is exerted to move an object to a distance of one meter. If the force is expressed in dynes and
the distance in centimeters, the unit of work is dyne cm or erg. 1 erg= 1 dyne cm.
You have learned also in your previous activity that power is the rate of doing work and
can be determined or calculated using the equation or formula.

Where;
Work=Joule/s Power = W/time
Time=seconds

Problem solving is an important skill you have to develop. It may help you analyze the situation

IV. ELABORATE
and think of the possible solutions for your problems. To learn more about this lesson, do Task
4 and Task 5. Problem solving page 16 in your Explore and Experience work text. Use the given
equations to solve the problems.

Do you ever wonder who coined the terms work and power? Here are the short life stories
of the two scientists who contributed a lot in the development of modern science and its
applications.

James Watt
(1736-1819)
A Scottish inventor and engineer, He was known for
improving the New comen steam engine, which was fundamental
to the changes brought about by the industrial revolution in both
Great Britain and the world. The development in the steam engine
initiated changes in generating and applying power; revolutions in
transportation which included the locomotive and the steamboat;
and the constructions of new factories, machine tools, and the watt
steam engine.
James Prescott Joule
(1818-1889)
He was an English physicist who studied the nature of heat
and discovered its relationship to mechanical work. This led
to the law of conservation of energy, which in turn led to the
development of the first law of thermodynamics. The SI
derived unit of energy, the joule, is named after him.

Process Questions;
1. What can you say about the life of James Watt and James Prescott Joule?

2. What are the scientific attitudes that helped them to become a very successful scientist?
Explain your answer.

3. How important are these lessons in your life?

V. EVALUATE
Directions: Analyze the situations below and answer the questions that follow.
Situation 1-Who’s doing the work faster?
In a newly renovated office, workers busied themselves in transferring materials into their
new areas. Jeff, who painstakingly pushed a pile of boxes towards his place, envied his co-worker
who effortlessly transported his boxes using a trolley.

Who has done greater work? ________________________________________________


Who has done the work faster? Explain? __________________________________________

Situation 2-Who’s exerting more power?
Suppose you have 3 Compact Fluorescent lamps (CFL) in your house labeled as 90-Watts,
46-Watts and 2-Watts. The lamp with the greatest wattage gives off the brightest light.

Which of the 3 lamps is expending more power?

● LESSON 2.2: Work and Mechanical energy
In this lesson, you will be learning about the relationship between work and energy.
You will also learn the factors affecting kinetic and potential energy.

I. ENGAGE
You learned that there are different ways by which energy can be transferred from one
place to another. Sound and light are transferred by waves; electrical energy is transferred by
moving electrical charges through a complete circuit; and heat is transferred either by randomly
moving particles, or by electromagnetic waves. Work is also a means of transferring energy from
one object to another.

What will happen to a plastic and a rubber ball if you drop it and let it bounce? Will the material
that makes up the ball affect the way it bounces off? (Write your answer in your Science
notebook)

II. EXPLORE

Play a mini bowling game:


1. Get two balls (any ball made up of two different materials will do; you can also make
improvised balls from crumpled papers or lump of plastic)
2. Set up around 3 plastic bottles on the floor.
3. Roll the balls along the floor to hit the empty plastic bottles.

Is there work done on the ball? What does it take to do a lot of work?

III. EXPLAIN
From your previous activity and task you might have realized that work will not be done if
there is an absence of energy. Now let’s expand your understanding about work and mechanical
energy. Whenever you do work on an object, the work done represents the amount of energy
transformed from one form to another. For example, if you throw a stone, you do work on the
stone and based on your previous activity in walking up the stairs you also do work. Hence, you
transform the chemical energy of your body obtained from the food you eat into the kinetic energy
of the object. When you lift a book, you increase the potential energy of the book. The work you
do is equal to the change in the energy of the object. The unit of energy is the same as the unit
of work, which is the joule(j).

Remember that Mechanical energy can be calculated using these formulas:


Potential Energy
PE = mgh
Where;
m= mass in kg
g= force of gravity which is equal 9.8 m/s2

Page 23 of 60

________________ Grade &
Section:
h= height _________________________
- The SI unit that represents potential energy is the Joule (J). 1 Joule is equal to 1 kg m2/s2).

Kinetic Energy
KE=1/2mV2

kinetic energy = 1/2 (mass of object) (velocity of object)2


or
KE = 1/2 mV2

-The SI unit for kinetic energy is also in Joule (J). After reading and understanding all the concepts
including the equations, do Task 5. problem solving on page 17 of the Explore and Experience
Science work text. Problem solving is an important skill you have to develop. It may help you
analyze the situation and think of the possible solutions to your problems.

IV. ELABORATE
So far, we have discussed the relationship between work and mechanical energy. Work
is a way of transferring energy. Energy is the capacity to do work. When work is done by an object
it loses energy and when work is done on an object it gains energy. You have also learned that
Power is the rate of doing work or the rate of using energy. At this point it is expected that you
already have a good grasp of the concepts of work, power and energy and how they affect one
another

Do you want to be the next Katniss Everdeen of hunger games? or Green Arrow of the Justice
league? Both characters portray the role of excellent archers. Archery is the art, sport, practice,
or skill of using a bow to shoot arrows. The word comes from the Latin arcus.
Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat. In modern times, it is mainly a
competitive sport and recreational activity.
Remember these concepts about work, power and energy as you answer the questions
about archery:
● Work is done on an object when the force applied to it covers a distance in the direction
of the applied force.
● Work is a way of transferring energy.
● When work is done by an object it loses energy and when work is done on an object it
gains energy.
● -The energy of an object enables it to do work.
● A moving object has energy called energy of motion or kinetic energy.
● An object above a specified level has energy due to its position called potential energy.
● An elastic object that is stretched or compressed or twisted has energy called potential
energy.
● Power is the rate of doing work or the rate of using energy.

Process questions:
1. How is an arrow released in archery?

2. In which object is work being done? bow or arrow?

7. What happens to this energy as the arrow is released?

8. How does this affect the movement of the arrow?

9. How will you relate the principles of archery in your daily task at home?

V. EVALUATE
The concepts of work, power and energy are greatly taken in the area of construction where
manual labor is highly demanded. Engineers make good use of machines to reduce man’s effort.
As your concluding task in this lesson you will make a simple concept map that will show the
relationships of work, power and energy.

● Introduction
When you tap a solid object like shoes, chair or pen, you would hear a distinct
sound. Why is this so? When you talk you can feel vibrations inside your throat. Why is it
easier to hear distant voices and other sounds at night? How do we produce sound? How

pleasures. The power of love can create miracles._________________________
Love can create unity among nations and its
citizens. Love is the most beautiful feeling in the world. Love has given different meaning by
different people depending upon how they have experienced this wonderful feeling.”
Processing questions:
1. What do you feel when you touch your throat while speaking?

2. What happens inside your throat as you talk or sing?

3. What are the specific parts of your body which are involved in the production of sounds?

III. EXPLAIN
When you touch your throat lightly while talking or singing, you are actually touching a box -
like part called the larynx. Stretched across the larynx are muscles called vocal cords. How do we
hear a sound? Sound reaches our ears by sound waves traveling through a transmitting medium,
normally air. A medium is a means to carry sound. Air surrounding the source of sound does not
travel to your ear. Instead, the air molecules transmit the sound energy by vibrating at their
positions, colliding with their neighboring particles, and exchanging kinetic energy with them.
Take note of the concepts below for you to better understand this lesson.

● WAVE- is a disturbance that moves from one place to another that carries energy away
from the wave source.
● SOUND WAVE - refers to longitudinal waves with a frequency range from just below 20
Hz to kHz. Is composed of waves of COMPRESSION and RAREFACTION
which are detected by the ears

(regions where air molecules are close to each other)

(regions where the air molecules are far apart)

● FACTORS AFFECTING SPEED AND TRANSMISSION OF SOUND


1. DENSITY- refers to how light an object is as compared to its size. The sound travels faster in
dense materials. It travels fast in solid phase and slower in gas phase.
2. ELASTICITY- sound can travel faster through mediums with higher elastic properties (like
steel) than it can through solids like rubber, which have lower elastic properties. As a result, sound
waves travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in glasses.
3. TEMPERATURE- Sound waves travel faster through warm than through cool air. The velocity
of sound in air depends on the air temperature. The speed of sound in dry air is 332
Cm/s at 0 ºC. This speed increases with temperature: about 0.6 m/s for every 1 ºC increase in

Page 29 of 60

temperature. _________________________
The table shows the speed of sound in different media. The speed of sound in
any medium depends on the masses of its atoms or molecules and on the force between and
among them
Table 1. Speed of Sound in Different Media
MATERIALS SPEED OF SOUND (m/s)
Air at 00 C 332
Air at 200 C 344
Carbon Dioxide 266
Hydrogen at 180C 1300
Aluminum 5100
Brass 3500

Steel 5000-6000
Wood 4000-5300

Now you already have an idea of what sound is, how it is transmitted in different mediums
and what it can do in our life. Do Task 6. Table Analysis: Effects of temperature on the speed
of sound on page 18 of your Explore and Experience Science work text.

IV. ELABORATE

II. EXPLORE

To observe how white light breaks into different colors, perform this activity.

“My Rainbow”
Procedure:
1. Fill a clear glass with water
2. Carefully place a mirror at the side of a glass. Turn off the lights so you will be able to
see the rainbow better.
3. Shine a flashlight toward the mirror in the glass. Make sure the light passes through the
glass to a clear wall.
4. Vary the angle of the light from the flashlight or change the angle of the mirror until you
can see the rainbow on the wall or ceiling.

Process questions:
1. What colors did you see when the light passed through the glass?

2. What tool is needed to separate white light into its component colors?

3. Is it hard to look for a perfect angle so you will be able to see the colors of light?

4. Are you familiar with a prism? Describe it and explain why it causes white light to separate
into the various colors of visible spectrum

III. EXPLAIN

In the previous activity you learned about the behavior of light. The white light that hits
objects is just a portion of what is called an electromagnetic spectrum. Moreover, this white light
is made up of different colors of light with varying wavelengths and frequencies from red to violet.
We define color as the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of light being
reflected or emitted.

Based from the study conducted by the Colorimetry of the Optical Society of America, color
is consists of characteristics of light other than spatial and temporal in homogeneities; light being
the aspect of radiant energy which a human observer notices through the visual sensations that
arise from the simulation of the retina of the eye. The color of a flower depends on how it reflects
light. Each flower absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects other wavelengths. The color of
an object is the color of the light it reflects. Take note of the following concepts:

● an electromagnetic wave, a form of energy that can travel freely across space.
● a transverse, electromagnetic wave that can be seen by humans.

Visible spectrum
● is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.

Among the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum, which color do you think has the lowest
and highest energy?
You have learned about how we see and why we see things in different colors. In the
process of seeing, light is always involved. Light has to be reflected by the object and into our
eyes so we can see it. The color of the object that we see depends on its color and the color of
light that illuminates it. The objects we see have colors because they reflect one or more of the
colors present in white light. Did you know that the difference between one color and another is
due to the differences in wavelengths or frequencies? Each color of light has its own wavelength
and frequency. In the visible spectrum, violet has the highest frequency but shortest wavelength.
Red has the lowest frequency but longest wavelength. See the table below and observe the
differences of the colors in visible light.
Nanometer (nm)- a unit of spatial measurement that is 10-9 meter, or one billionth of a meter. It
used to measure the wavelength of visible light.
Terahertz(THz), – also known as submillimeter radiation THz, consists of
electromagnetic waves within the designated band of frequencies from 0.3 to 3 terahertz.
It is used to measure light waves.
Table 2. Visible Spectrum
COLORS WAVELENGTH FREQUENCY
(nm) (THz)
Violet 380-450 680-790
Blue 450-485 620-680
Green 500-565 530-600
Yellow 565-590 510-530
Orange 590-625 480-510
Red 625-740 405-480

Based on the table of visible spectrum, which color do you think has the largest and shortest
wavelength? What about the color that has the highest and lowest frequency?
What do you think will happen if light waves hit a barrier? Will it pass through or will it
bounce back? Light travels in a straight line in the same medium until it encounters a barrier

between two different materials. When the path _________________________
of light strikes a boundary, the light is either
reflected from the boundary or it passes into the material on the other side.

Reflection is the bouncing back of light waves when it hits a barrier or boundary of
another medium. The reflection of light is similar to the reflection of sound or the rebound of an
elastic ball. If we have laws of motion we also have laws of reflection, the laws of reflection are
stated as follows;
1. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the reflecting surface all lie in the same
plane.
2. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

What happens when light rays hit a mirror? Shiny metal exteriors, and surface of ponds,
lakes, or any body of still water act as mirrors. When parallel rays of light strike a plane mirror or
a smooth surface, light rays are reflected in an orderly manner. Reflection of light from smooth
surfaces such as mirrors is called specular or regular reflection. Regular reflection enables us
to see images on smooth, flat, and shiny surfaces such as a mirror, a piece of metal, or still water.
This is the reason why we see ourselves in mirrors. Searchlights and automobile spotlights use
highly intense and concentrated light sources and highly polished regular reflectors to redirect the
beam in the desired direction. On the other hand, if the reflecting surface is rough, the surface
reflects the rays in different directions. The reflected rays are scattered and this is known as
irregular or diffuse reflection. Diffuse reflection enables us to see objects such as chairs, tables,
or books, without seeing our own image reflected. Diffusion of light is important. If the rays of the
sun are not diffused by rough surfaces and dust particles in the air, the resulting glare will be so
intense.
As you have learned, white light is a mixture of colors that is conventionally divided into
six major hues called spectrum, consisting of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. Did you
know that it was Isaac Newton who first reported this dispersion of colors more than 300 years
ago? Do TASK 7. interpreting data light waves on page 19.

IV. ELABORATE

Prism is needed to break the white light into the different colors of light. With the different
refractive indices of the colors of light, bending is also different for each of the colors of light. A
rainbow starts with the RED light being at the topmost and ends with the VIOLET light being on
the bottom of the bow? However, blue is often seen at the bottom since violet light is not very
visible. What acts as a prism in the sky for real large rainbows to form? Do you still believe that

There are many other beliefs about what we
usually observe in the sky. Are these really true? Do they have scientific bases?

Can you explain these phenomena? Interview older people (grandparents, parents,
relatives) whether they believe in the following sayings; Interview may be conducted through
messenger, e-mail, phone call or any means of communication if they are not living in the same
house.

1. There's a Pot of Gold at the Rainbow's End.

2. Wishes made upon a rainbow will come true.

3. Creatures such as “Tikbalang” are married when there are rains even on clear skies.

You may ask them of other beliefs or traditions that they know of that are related to the
observations in the sky.

V. EVALUATE

Process Questions: Briefly explain the following questions:


1. How is wavelength related to the frequency of light waves?

MODULE 1: Heat and Temperature


LESSON 5: Heat & Temperature
TIME FRAME: (2 weeks)

● Introduction:
Every day of our lives, heat flows around us. Heat transfers from hotter objects to
cooler ones. For example, heat flows from the handle of a hot metal ladle to our cooler
skin. Then heat flows from our skin to the much cooler air passing from the air conditioner.
If you sit near a bonfire, you would feel the heat coming from the fire. Do you recall having
left a spoon in a glass of hot milk and found the spoon too hot to hold when you get it
later? When you have been at the beach in the morning, have you noticed the sand is hot
and the water is cold? When you touch a cup of coffee or a glass of orange juice, you will
immediately sense how hot or cold the cup of glass is. Have you heard about a forest fire
devastating a huge area of land? Have you wondered why floods happen frequently
nowadays? Do you know why sea levels rise?
As you go through this module you will be able to apply your knowledge about heat
transfer that takes place between objects or places of different temperatures, and that
heat transfers from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature. This
time, you will learn more about heat transfer by exploring its effects on materials. You will
also learn about the factors that affect the amount of heat that an object can absorb or
release and describe how these are related to the amount of heat transferred. The concept
of heat and temperature will enable you to understand these different situations.

conversation. They also think that heat and temperature are just the same. But for
physicists, heat and temperature are two different concepts. So in this module, you will
also learn the difference between heat and temperature. At the end of this lesson, you

do you feel after the 3rd song? Why does your throat dry up when you continuously sing?

2. If you don’t have a good singing voice, continuously tap with a beat in one of your
textbooks or any kind of book available in your house for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes of
tapping, how does the book feel? How about your hand?

3. Go near a fluorescent lamp or any other light source in your house. How does it feel?
What sensation did your body feel when you went near the light source?

Process Questions;

1. What causes the drying of your throat? The warmth of the textbook and your hand? And the
warmth sensation that your body felt while staying near the light source?

2. What do you think is the energy you felt from the mini-activities?

3. Is it heat or temperature? How do we distinguish heat from temperature?

III. EXPLAIN

You have just learned that if heat is absorbed or given off by an object, its temperature
changes. If the object absorbs heat its temperature rises. All the objects that you see around you
that are moving possess kinetic energy. But do you know that even the very small things that you
cannot see, like the particles of objects, are also moving and have kinetic energy. If heat is added
to an object, the particles of the object gain kinetic energy and they move faster. Since
temperature is directly related to kinetic energy, any gain in kinetic energy would cause the
temperature to increase. Conversely, if heat is transferred or removed from an object, it loses
kinetic energy, its particles move slower and the body’s temperature decreases.

Now you know how heat is transferred from one matter to another. You should always
remember that heat affects the movement of particles in objects. You have learned also in your
previous grades that temperature is measured by the use of a thermometer. You have most
probably used this device many times. The thermometer commonly available in our schools is the

liquid thermometer, which has a column of either mercury or alcohol. When the thermometer is
placed in contact with any object the mercury column either rises or drops. But why does the liquid
inside the thermometer go up and down? How is thermal expansion related to temperature?

This happens because the mercury inside the tube expands or contracts in response to
a change in temperature. When the thermometer bulb is placed in hot water, the liquid inside the
tube expands. As it does, it takes more space and so it goes up the tube. When the bulb is placed
in cold water, the liquid contracts and so it goes down the tube. In physics, this is called thermal
expansion, another effect of heat transfer. But thermal expansion does not apply only to the liquid
inside the thermometer. In fact, it applies to almost everything around us, be it a solid, a liquid, or
a gas. Now let’s sum up the difference between

Heat and temperature. Thermal Energy or Heat Energy is the potential and kinetic
energy of its particles (atoms and molecules) that can be transformed to heat. While Temperature
is the measure of hotness or coldness of a body and a measure of the average kinetic energy of
molecules of a given substance. Below is some additional information about the scales on how to
measure the temperature of a given substance. Always take note of the concepts listed on the
table that follows.

● A circuit is any arrangement of a source of energy (battery), connecting wires, and a

for electrical charges to flow. Electric current is a measure of the number of electrical
charges passing through a cross-section of a conductor in a given time. The direction
of conventional current or simply current is from the positive terminal of the battery to
the negative terminal.

● The symbol for current is capital letter I._________________________
The unit, ampere (A), is named after Andre-
Marie Ampere, a French physicist who made important contributions to the theory of
electricity and magnetism.
● An ammeter is a device used to measure the electric current and it must be connected
in a circuit. The positive terminal of an ammeter must be connected to the positive
terminal of the energy source. While the negative terminal should also be connected
to the negative terminal of the energy source as.
VOLTAGE

What makes the charges move in a closed circuit? In Module 2, you learned that when
work is done on an object, energy is transferred which can become energy of motion of
the object.

● In a circuit, work must be done on the charges to make them move. The battery
supplies the energy in electric circuits. The chemical energy in the battery is
transformed to electrical energy. This electrical energy moves the charges in a
circuit. A battery consists of several dry cells or wet cells. Both dry and wet cells
contain a conducting medium called electrolyte. The batteries we use in flashlights
and watches are dry cells.

● The symbol for voltage is capital letter V. The unit, volts (V), It was named after the
Italian physicist Alessandro Volta who invented the voltaic pile, the forerunner of what
we now call the dry cell.
● A voltmeter measures voltage. The voltmeter should be connected across the load
being tested. The positive terminal of a voltmeter is connected to the positive terminal
of the bulb while the negative terminal is connected to the negative terminal of the
bulb.
RESISTANCE

● When electric charges flow through the wires and loads of the circuits they
encounter resistance or a hindrance to their movement. So another factor that
affects the flow of charges or current is resistance.
● The symbol for resistance is capital letter R. The unit, ohms (Ω) is named after the
German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.
Going back to your task in the table did you find out some relationships of the
three variables; Current, Voltage and Resistance? And how does each variable affect the
state of one another? Now in order for you to learn better the relationship of the variables
let us take a look at the equation below.

Where;
I= V I=Current measured in Amperes (A)
V= Voltage measured in Volts (V)
R R= Resistance measured in Ohm (Ω)

Directions: Read the paragraph below. Answer the questions that follow.

“Most electric power nowadays is produced by burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
Unfortunately, this energy source releases large amounts of pollution into Earth’s atmosphere
and contributes to global warming. Also, it is not renewable as Earth’s fossil fuel reserves
(especially oil) are starting to run low. People all over the world believe that there are sufficient
reasons why alternative/other sources of energy must be explored in order to curtail man’s
dependence on fossil fuels. Other energy sources being considered include wind power, solar
power, and hydro-electric power among others. While alternative energy sources provide a
solution involving many agents, in your own way you can decrease the demands for fossil fuel if
you practice energy conservation measures.”

● Lesson 6.2: Series Circuit and Parallel Circuit


In this lesson you will be learning the different types of circuit that is used in our home. Try to
take a look around the connections of wiring in your house. As you go through this lesson you will
be learning the difference between series circuit and parallel circuit. You will also learn the
advantages and disadvantages of these circuit connections at home.

I. ENGAGE

circuit? Justify your answer.

The current in a circuit takes only one path, The current can take two paths, one path for
passing through the two bulbs. When one bulb each bulb. When one bulb is unscrewed or
is unscrewed or removed, a gap is created. A removed, the other bulb is still part of a complete

bulbs increases? What about the current?

4. What do you think will happen to the voltage across each bulb in scenario B as the number of
bulbs increases? What about the current?

Basically there are two kinds of electric circuits: those with series connections and those with
parallel connections

III. EXPLAIN
Series Circuit

Some light bulbs in Christmas lights are connected in series. When one bulb burns out,
the rest of the bulbs will not light. Why is this so? In a series connection there is only one path
for the current to flow through the wire. So when a resistor (bulb) or any element in the series
circuit is broken, the current stops for all elements. This means that the charge flowing through
the battery is the same current that passes through resistors

Parallel Circuit

When the light bulb in your bedroom burns out, do the lights in the kitchen or other parts of
the house still function? Why? Our lights and electrical appliances at home are connected in
parallel. In parallel circuits, there is more than one conducting path for the current to pass through.

Now you are able to identify a circuit connection based on their characteristics. You may
also include the table below that explains comparison of the total current, total voltage and total
resistance of series and parallel circuit connections.

Series Connection Parallel Connection

Total Current Same as current in individual load Equal to the sum of current in
individual loads

Total voltage Equal to the sum of the voltages Same anywhere across two points in
the circuit
across each load

Total Resistance Increases with increasing load Decreases with increasing load

● Lesson 6.3: Electrical safety Devices


Electric circuits are all around us. These circuits can release great amounts of
electrical energy that can be dangerous. The dangers associated with electricity are fire and
electric shock. Each danger is addressed in different ways in the modern electric system. In
this lesson you will be learning the functions of safety electronic devices at home. You will be
learning also about how we can save electrical energy at home as part of our daily life.

I. ENGAGE

Your parents have probably cautioned you about the use of electrical devices even before
you reached school age. You were told not to touch electrical outlets or insert anything into it. You
were told not to touch any electrical wires in the house. Well they may not have explained it to
you back then, but they have valid reasons. Firemen advise homeowners to check the electrical
connections in their homes, especially the condition of the wires. They advise homeowners to
replace exposed electrical wires. Why is there a need to cover exposed wires? Why is electrical
safety important? List down 3 importance of electrical safety that you know.

III. EXPLAIN
● Why is it important to ensure circuit safety?

❖ Overload and Short Circuit


Electric circuits such as those in our homes are supplied by pairs of insulated copper wires
led through the walls. We connect appliances in parallel across these lines. Adding more load to
a circuit will result in an increase in current. If the increase is more than the circuit can safely
carry, the circuit is said to be overloaded. If the circuit is not protected by a fuse or a circuit breaker,
the heat produced may burn away the insulation from the overloaded conductors. The conductors
may even melt or make contact with one another and form a short circuit. Such a short circuit may
cause a fire.

❖ Overheating
To prevent this, sizes of wires are indicated with the maximum allowable current it can carry.

● Why is electricity dangerous?

Warning signs are used to alert people to the presence of high voltage electricity. When a
current pass through living material, it causes an electric shock. This interferes with nerve
signals from the brain to the body, and can cause a heart attack, muscle spasms and breathing
difficulties. Other dangers include overheated and faulty appliances, which may lead to electrical
fires. Although electricity can be very dangerous, it is also incredibly useful and is essential for
modern life.

❖ What precautions can be taken to make electricity safer?

Here are some tips on how you can prevent overloading, overheating and other fire accidents
associated with improper usage of electrical devices or appliances.

1. Do not overload sockets


2. Wire plugs correctly.
3. Never mix water and electricity.
4. Regularly check cables for breaks and loose wires.
5. Never stick anything other than a plug in a socket.
6. Use earth wires, fuses and circuit breakers to prevent accidents in the event that a fault
develops.
