Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

Prayer and Attendance Checking

Review the class by posing a question

Elicit in relation to the previous topic: “How Students give various answers
can we differentiate balanced and
unbalanced force?”

Before starting the lesson, the teacher

will give activities to the class. The first
one is “Word Search”. The teacher will
Engage present a set of jumbled words and Students accomplish the given
fifteen words. The class will be asked to task
come up in front and locate the words
inside the grid.
Activity 1: Word Search

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

“Thank you for your participation class,

now let us move on to the next.”

For the second activity, the teacher

presents illustrations of scientists with a
set of chat bubbles. The teacher
explains that instruction to the class:

“Now, for this task, I want everyone to

get a piece of paper. Then, you are
going to write the letter of the chat Students follows instructions
bubble that corresponds to the scientist and answers the given activity
on each number. I will give you 5
minutes to answer this activity.”
Activity 2: Men Behind Forces

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

Motivation:

Teacher shows the photo to the class and pose a

question:

Explore

Allow students to
“What do you think will happen to the passengers if give their answers
the bus will suddenly stop?”

Teacher briefly discusses the picture.

 Teacher introduces the topic by posing a question:

“What is Newton’s First Law of Motion?” Allow students to

think or answer
Teacher states and explains the 1st Law of Motion

 Law of Inertia states that, "an object at rest

remains at rest, and an object in motion
will continue to move at a constant velocity
Explain unless acted upon by a net force".
 Inertia is the tendency of an object to
maintain its state of rest or of uniform
velocity in a straight line.
 The greater the mass of an object, the harder
it is to move when it is at rest or difficult to
stop when in motion.

“So inertia is a sort of resistance of an object to any

change in its state of rest of motion.”

Teacher further elaborates the lesson.

“In order to fully understand the concept of inertia,

take for example this illustration of a bus. But
before we dive deeper, let us all watch a quick
video”

Elaborate “Law of Inertia”
“What was the video all about?”
Gives various
“What have you learned about the law of inertia?
answers

“So, how can we apply the principle of inertia in Students give their
riding a bus?” answers

“Thank you for answers. When a bus does not

move, the bus is at rest. However, as soon as it
starts to move, the motion makes our body move
backward. When the bus suddenly stops, our body
usually has the tendency to move forward. This is
how we would apply the principle of inertia
whenever we ride a bus.”
