 Ask the learners some
questions pertaining to forces
and motion to review their
knowledge in their grade 7
Science.
B. Motivation (Engage)
Ask the learners the
following questions:
What is a force? What is
motion?
C. Discussion of Concepts
(Explore)
What’s In
Let the learners study the
illustrations and answer
questions that follow.
Give the Activity 1 Guided
Practice
Discuss about Balanced Forces
and Unbalanced Forces.
D. Developing Mastery
(Explain)
Balanced forces will cause no
change in the speed of an
object.
Unbalanced forces are not
equal, and they always cause
Ask the learners to recall balanced
and unbalanced forces.
B. Motivation (Engage)
Show a picture to the class and ask the
learners to tell something about it.
C. Discussion of Concepts (Explore)
Newton’s First Law of Motion: Law of
Inertia
The tendency of an object to resist any
change in its state of rest or motion is
called inertia. The greater the mass of
an object, the greater is its inertia. For
a given inertial mass, sliding friction is
greater than rolling friction.
D. Developing Mastery (Explain)
Newton’s First Law of Motion- also
known as the Law of Inertia states:
Objects at rest will remain at rest and
objects in motion will continue to move
at a constant speed in a straight path
unless acted upon by an unbalanced
force.
A more massive object which has more
inertia is more difficult to move from
rest, slow down, speed up, or change
its direction.
E. Application and Generalization
(Elaborate)
Ask the learners to recall about the Law
of Inertia.
B. Motivation (Engage)
Do you sometimes wonder why a small
table can be pushed more easily than a big
table?
C. Discussion of Concepts (Explore)
The relationship existing among three
physical quantities of acceleration, force
and mass is combined in the second law of
motion called the Law of Acceleration. This
means that an object accelerates more as
the force applied is increased; while the
more massive the object is, the lesser is its
acceleration.
D. Developing Mastery (Explain)
Law of Acceleration “The acceleration of
an object is directly proportional to the
magnitude of the net force acting on it and
is inversely proportional to its mass.”
a = F/m or F= m a
where: a= acceleration
F= force
m= mass

questions for clarification. Ask
the learners to respond
provided questions.
F. Evaluation
Illustrate using diagrams the
following.

Let the learners ask questions for
clarification.
F. Evaluation
Directions: Read and analyze each
problem.
1. The car is moving forward.
When it suddenly stops, what
do you think will the
passengers of the car
experience? Why?
2. If a car makes a sharp turn, the
passengers tend to move to
one side of the car. Why?
Sample mathematical problem: 3. 3.
4. 4.
1. What will be the acceleration of a toy 5. 5.
cart with a mass of 8 kg on a frictionless
tabletop if a force of 5N acts on it to the B. Multiple Choice Test (Activity Sheets
right and another force of 4 N acts on it to provided)
the left? The net force, or the total force
acting on the cart, is equal to 1N, to the
right. The direction of the acceleration is
also going to the right.
F. Evaluation
Identify the Law of Motion that is
illustrated by the following situations.
Write your answers on a separate sheet.
Use 1 (to indicate Law of Inertia), and 2
(Law of Acceleration).
_____ 1. You are thrown backward if the
vehicle you are riding suddenly stops.
_____ 2. A cigarette vendor has to move
with the bus as he jumps off the bus.
_____ 3. An empty grocery cart runs faster
than the loaded one because it is easier to
move. _____ 4. The engine of a bus uses
more energy in travelling when it is
overloaded with passengers than when it
is only loaded to its seating capacity.
_______5. A car still moves for a short
 period even after the brakes have been
applied.
