Grade 8 Force, Motion, and Energy

Name of Student: ________________________ Grade & Section: _________

Go Round and Round...

I. Objectives: After the activity, I will be able to

1. explain why an object move in circle; and
2. identify what is required/needed to move an object in circle.

II. Materials: 1 pc. ball of any kind (medium size), 1 m string, 1pc. rod/round
stick, Manila paper or cartolina

III. Procedure
1. Let one (1) member of the group hold the rod and arrange the
materials as shown in Figure 1. (See to it that the string in the rod is tied
loosely to make it freely moving).

Force (F)

2. Cover the ball with coloring paint, push (at F) the ball straight
forward (with respect to the student pushing the ball). Observe the movement
of the ball. Trace the path of the ball on the paper.

3. Repeat Procedure # 2, release the ball by cutting the string or by

lifting the rod. Observe how the ball behaved. Trace the path of the ball.
 IV. Analysis Questions

1. Based on step 2, describe the motion of the ball when it was

pushed straight forward?
