III. PROCEDURES
Game: 4 Pictures-1 word
A. ENGAGE
The teacher will show pictures to the pupils. The pupils will identify the word
that describe the four pictures. The number of the box could tell the number
of letter the word has.

What word best describe the four pictures?

What is friction?
Let the pupils explain why these pictures are related to friction.
Group the learners into four.
B. EXPLORE  Distribute the activity sheets.
 Remind the learners about the norms/standards to be followed in doing
the activity.
- Read and understand the instructions properly.
- Cooperate with your group.
- Do not disturb the other groups
- Maintain cleanliness in your workplace.
- Seek the guidance of the teacher if needed.
- Minimize your noise
- Submit your output on time.
 Present the scoring rubric to be used for group activity.
See appendix A.
ACTIVITY A
“Push Mo Yan”
Comparing Movements of Objects on Different Surfaces
At the end of the activity, I can:
a. A. Describe frictional force
b. Infer how friction affect movements of objects.
c. Explain the effects of friction.

Materials:
Block of wood hook
Spring scale rods
Sand paper tape
Baby powder

What you need to do:

1. Attach a piece of sand paper on one side of the block of wood.
2. Hook a spring scale to the block of wood. Place the wood on the
table. (The sand paper should met the surface of the table.)

___
3. Using a steady force, use the spring scale to pull the wood across
the table at a steady speed. Record the force applied to pull the
block of wood across the table.
4. Remove the sand paper from the block of wood. Sprinkle a small
amount of powder on the table. Repeat step 3.
5. Place several rods on the table. Place the block of wood on top of
the rods. Then repeat step 3.
Force Exerted (N)
Kind of surface
Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Average
Smooth Surface
Rough Surface
Surface with rollers

What have you found out?

1. What affects the motion of the block of wood?______________
2. What kind of friction is shown when you let the block of wood with
sandpaper slide on the surface of the table?
____________________________________.
3. What kind of friction is shown when you let the block of wood roll
on rods?________________________________________.
4. Under what condition was the frictional force smallest?
5. How do rollers help in decreasing the amount of force needed to
pull the block of wood?

One representative from each group will present their output. A scoring
C. EXPLAIN rubric will be used in rating the group output. (Please see attached scoring
rubrics on appendix A and B.)

Process the output of every group.

D. ELABORATE Show a video showing how friction affect the movement of an object and
people.
 How does a friction affect the motion of an object?
 Friction opposes motion. It causes an object that moves
along a surface to slow down and eventually stop.
 Does the amount of friction varies in every moving objects?
 Yes, the amount of friction may vary depending on the type
of surface the object gets in contact with.
 How does the ground surface affects the friction of moving objects?
 The texture of the ground/surface affects the friction of a
moving object.
 What are the other effects of friction?
 Friction allows us to grip things. You would be able to pick
up anything with friction.
 Friction helps people convert one form of motion into
another. Friction allows people to walk. You move forward
because there is friction between the surface of your shoes
and the ground. Without friction, you will slip of fall and
not be able to stand up.
 Friction converts some energy into heat. Friction is needed
to produce fire. When you light a matchstick, friction is
needed to change chemical energy in the matchbox and
matchstick into light energy.
 What are the undesirable effects of friction?

___
 Friction makes objects difficult to move continuously.
There is friction between the bottom or feet of furniture
and the floor. When moving furniture, friction is
undesirable.
 Friction converts some energy into heat, noise, and wear
and tear on materials. When a cyclist pedals on a bicycle,
the energy exerted by the cyclist in converted into noise
and heat. Too much heat can cause the wear and tear of
the bicyle parts and reduce the efficiency of the bicycle.
Excess frictional heat could damage the machine and the
breaking system. This will result in periodic maintenance
and replacement of some parts of the engines.

Multiple Choice: Read each item carefully. Circle the letter of the best answer.
E. EVALUATE
1. Which has the greatest friction?
a. Polished floor
b. Sandy floor
c. Wet floor
d. Tiled floor
2. The boat sailing on the sea slows down. What kind of friction is acting
on it?
a. Static friction
b. Rolling friction
c. Fluid friction
d. Sliding friction
3. Which of the following statements best describes friction?
a. It is a force that occurs between solids.
b. It is a force that occurs only on rough surfaces
c. It is a force that occurs between solids and liquids.
d. It is a force that occurs when surfaces touch each other.
4. How can you best reduce friction between the bottom or feet of
furniture and the floor?
a. By smoothing the floor
b. By keeping furniture on their place
c. By applying lubricants like wax on the floor
d. By putting wheels or rollers on the bottom or feet of furniture.
5. Which shows that friction is undesirable?
a. Pushing furniture
b. Lighting a matchstick
c. Walking on wet floors
d. Using the breaks when approaching a stoplight

6-10. Give example of situations where friction is applied.
