A DETAILED LESSON PLAN FOR GRADE 7

I. OBJECTIVES
A. CONTENT STANDARDS The learners demonstrate the
understanding of Newton’s three laws
of motion and uniform circular
motion.
B. PERFORMANCE STANDARD The learners shall be able to develop a
written plan and implement a
“Newton’s Olympics”
C. LEARNING COMPETENCY Investigate the relationship between
the amount of force applied and the
mass of the object to the amount of
change in the object’s motion.
D. OBJECTIVES 1. Describe how an external force
affect an object in motion and at rest.
2. Reflect on the relationship of force
and mass in an object’s motion.
3. Illustrate through an explanation
how a force acting on an object affects
its acceleration.

TEACHERS ACTIVITY STUDENTS ACTIVITY

Hello everyone… Please stand up for (Students stand up and bow their
the prayer. heads)

Good morning class. Good morning, ma’am Brenda.

Is there any absent for todays’ class? None, ma’am.

Very good!

A. ELICIT
Okay. Before we proceed to our next
topic lets recall first what was our topic
yesterday.
Ma’am force is any push and pull that
causes change in motion of an object.
What is force?
Displacement is the change in position
 as measured from the starting point
What is displacement? to the final point.

Very good!

B. ENGAGE
Class, why do you think that objects (Students will answer based on their
move, fall and rest? idea)

Did you know that the forces acting on

these objects can be measured? And
their motions can be predicted?

Isaac Newton, an English Scientist helps

us understand the theory behind it
through his published book in 1687,
where todays’ topic “laws of motion” is
explained.

To really understand better the laws of

motion. I want everyone to know some
key terms in our topic today through
an activity “Puzzle me, Know me!”
In this you will rearranged the jumbled
words and think what they’re mean in
relevant to our topic. MASS
FORCE
ACTIVITY 1: PUZZLE ME, KNOW ME! MOTION
ACCELERATION
1. SMAS
2. CEFOR (students will answer based on
3. TOOIM their own idea)
4. CELETIONACAR

In your own understanding, how does

the words mass, force, motion and
acceleration relate to each other with
relevance to our topic today?

C. EXPLORE
To really understand how these words
relate to each other. I have here a
short video and I want you to listen
and watch carefully.

https://youtu.be/-w6ow1ut4Dw
Yes ma’am
Okay, does everyone understand the
video you’ve watched?
In this moment, I want everyone to
choose a pair; you can choose anyone
you like or want. In this activity I want
each of you to work and think in pairs.
Don’t forget to write your name and
your partners name before you start
answering the questions. How you
answer this activity will be based on
Yes ma’am
the video you’ve watched.

Does everyone have a partner already?

Very good! Now, I’ll give you 15 mins.
to answer the following questions.
DIRECTIONS: READ AND ANALYZE EACH
QUESTION THEN DISCUSS YOUR IDEA WITH YOUR
PAIR AND WRITE YOUR ANSWER ON THE SPACE
PROVIDED. ANSWER BASED ON YOUR
UNDERSTANDING ON THE VIDEO YOU’VE WATCH
(ANSWER MUST BE ATLEAST 3-5 SENTENCES).

1. Describe how force when applied

affects objects at rest and in motion?

2. Through an explanation how applied

force affect objects acceleration.

…Times up! Now, pass your paper in

front.

D. EXPLAIN
Laws of Motion Students will listen and pay attention.
- Introduced by Isaac Newton in a
his book “Principia”
- Has three types: Students will listen and pay attention.
1. Laws of Inertia – states that an
object at rest will stays at rest
and an object in motion will stay
in motion until acted upon by an
external force. Students will listen and pay attention.

2. Laws of Acceleration – states

that the force of an object is
equal to its mass times its
Students will listen and pay attention.
acceleration.

3. Laws of Interaction – states

that for every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction.
E. ELABORATE
To further understand the lesson, let us
have an activity. Identify which laws of
motion is shown in each scenario and
explain why? Yes ma’am
Did you understand?
Law of interaction (students explains
1. Scene 1: JELLY FISH SWIMMING. why based on their own
understanding)

Law of inertia (students explains why

2. Scene 2: THROWING THE BALL based on their own understanding)
UP.

Law of acceleration (students explains

3. Scene 3: PUSHING A CART. why based on their own
understanding)

Excellent!

According to our topic, what can you
say about the relationship of force and
mass in an objects motion?
Now, let’s recall our lesson for today!
Enumerate the three laws of motion.
(students will answer based on their
understanding)
Laws of Inertia, Laws of Acceleration
and Laws of Interaction

It is the law stating that the force of an

Define Law of Acceleration. object is equal to its mass times its
acceleration.

Define Law of Interaction. It is the law stating for every action

there is an equal and opposite reaction.

It is the law stating that an object at

Define Law of Inertia rest will stay at rest and an object in
motion will stay in motion until acted
upon by an external force.

Very good!
