KEY CONCEPTS:
 Motion is defined as the change in position
for a particular time interval
 Reference point serves the original position of
an object which indicate that an object is in
motion or at rest
 Distance refers to the length of the entire path
that the object travelled.
 Displacement refers to the shortest distance
between the object’s two positions, like the
distance between its point of origin and its
point of destination, no matter what path it
took to get to that destination.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
I. Describe in words the position of the object.

SCIENCE 7 1
 A. Consider the diagram in Figure 1. The positions of the objects are described in the diagram by
their coordinates along the number line.

Guide Questions

1. What is the position of the dog?

2. What is the position of the tree?

3. What is the position of the dog with respect to the house?

4. What is the position of the tree with respect to the dog?

B. In this diagram, the positions of the ball rolling are shown at equal intervals of time. You can
use the diagram to describe the position of the ball at any given time.

SCIENCE 7 2
Guide Questions
1. What is the initial position of the ball? What is its final position?

2. What is the position of the ball at 10 second?

3. At what time is the position of the ball equal to 5 meters?

C. Consider the diagram below in understanding distance and displacement. Broken line
represents Distance while straight line represents displacement.

SCIENCE 7 3
 Guide questions:
1. What is/are the Dog’s Distance?

2. What is/are the Dog’s displacement?

3. What is the total distance travelled of the

dog?

SYNTHESIS/REFLECTION:
What have you noticed about the distance and the displacement in the given
examplesabove?
