Lesson Title: MEASUREMENTS AND KINEMATICS

Learning Goals:
1. Convert units from one system to another;
2. Differentiate accuracy from precision; and
3. Differentiate fundamental quantities from derived quantities.

Part I. OVERVIEW
Physics deals with the interaction of matter, force, and energy. It is traditionally divided
into classical and modern physics. In this chapter, we will be discussing Mechanics, a
branch of classical physics that deals with motion, force, work, energy, and fluids.
Part II. CAPTURE

A. My Expectations

My expectations towards the subject.

My expectation towards General Physics is that this subject will widen our knowledge about
Physical Sciences. I expect this subject to provide us a holistic approach, and real-life example.

My expectations towards the teacher.

My expectation towards Ms. Marie Jel Llanto as my General Physics teacher is that she will be
understanding when we face some shortcomings as students. I also expect that she will give enough
time for us to accomplish the assigned tasks in this subject.

B. What I want to know.

In General Physics, I want to know/learn the topics that are commonly in CATs, generally the basics
of Physical Science.

Part III. CHECKPOINT

D. Preparatory Activities
a. Activity 1. Accuracy and Precision
Materials: notebook, ruler, and meterstick Procedure:

1. Use the ruler and the meterstick to measure the length of your notebook. Do these
five times and record your data in trial no. 1.
2. Do the same procedure of measurement. This time let 4 of your family members or
friends record trials 2 to 5. Record your data in the table provided.
Measurement
Trial
Ruler Meterstick

1. Trial no. 1 21.4 cm 21.6 cm

2. 21.5 cm 21.5 cm

3. 21.4 cm 21.6 cm

4. 21.4 cm 21.4 cm

5. 21.4 cm 21.5 cm
Analysis and Conclusion. Write your answer at the back of this learning packet.

1. Are your measurements precise? Explain.

The measurements are precise since the data varies between 21.4 cm, 21.5 cm, and
21.6 cm which are very close to each other.

1. Which activity requires most of your time in a week?

Since online classes started already, using gadgets is the activity that requires most of
my time a week. I use gadgets to attend classes and also in answering/doing the
activities assigned to me.

2. Which activity requires the least of your time in a week?

Watching TV and playing online games require the least of my time in a week. Since I
don’t play online games and I don’t watch tv.

3. How much time do you spend for studying?

More or less, I spend 35 hours of my time studying. This includes the time I attend my
classes and the time I spend answering my activities.

4. Do you think you have good or poor study habits? Explain.

I think I have a poor study habits since I don’t regularly study and I find it hard to
make a routine or set time for studying.

5. If you think you have poor study habits, how can you improve them? If you think you
have good ones, how do you intend o make them even better?
I think I can improve my study habits through creating a routine and discovering the
time that works best for me.
