Good morning class?
Good morning ma’am Evan Jane!

Before you take your seats, kindly arrange (student arrange their chairs and pick some

B. Motivation
Do you want to play a game?

So, in this envelop it contain a jigsaw

puzzle picture. I will group into four. What
you will do is to solve the jigsaw puzzle
picture and find out what is the hidden
word. The first group to form the puzzle
will be given additional points.

What is the hidden word?

MOTION
Very good!

C. Lesson Proper

What would be our lesson today?

Yes very good! This morning we will be It is all about MOTION.
discussing about Motion.
And our objective is: Everyone please
read! 1. describe the motion of an object in
terms of distance or displacement, speed or
velocity, and acceleration
For our house rules:
 1. Listen to the teacher.
2. Listen to others and participate in
class discussions.
3. Raise your hand before speaking.
4. Respect each other.
5. Concentrate.
6. Finish work on time.
7. Show manners at all times.
8. And enjoy learning 

motion?

So you already know that the motion is

defined as the change in position for a
particular time interval. You can then start Basketball, Volleyball, soccer, baseball,
describing motion with the questions, lawn tennis, and many more.
“HOW FAR DID THE OBJECT
TRAVEL?” and “ HOW FAST DID THE
OBJECT MOVE?”
Motion can be describe by distance or
displacement, speed or velocity, and
acceleration.
Now let’s have an activity.
a. Divide the class into 4 groups.
b. Assign a facilitator, recorder, and
presenter or you can do this by rotation to
maximized participations.
c. Basing on the given problem, follow the
instruction and answer the guide questions
given in the activity. Write your answer in
Manila paper.
d. Assign somebody to report..
e. Group 1 and 2 you’re going to solve a
problem in distance and displacement with
different scenario.
f. Group 3 you’re going to solve a problem
in speed and velocity also with different
scenario.
g. Group 4 will be the acceleration.
Each group is given 10 minutes to do the
activity and 5 minutes to present your
work. The leader you will be the one to
grade the other group reporter. You will be
graded based on the rubric. The criteria
includes: Time, Presentation, Content and
Teamwork.
(Leader was given the rubrics by the

activity?
Be with your group now and discuss it
silently. I will give extra points for those
groups that can finish first and cooperate
well. Is that clear?
Your 15 minutes starts now! None ma’am
7 minutes left.
Time is up. You may go back to your
respective chairs silently.
Yes ma’am.
Group representatives be ready. You can
start presenting your output

Group 1 & 2: Distance and Displacement.

Guide question: How will you describe
distance?
How about displacement?
What is the total distance did Richmond performance level of the students.)
traveled? How about the displacement?
(The activity will be solve according to the
G1:
 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.
On his way to school, Richmond traveled a
path as shown on the map:
Scale: 1 cm = 100 m
Total distance = 100m + 300 m + 100 m +
100m + 100 m = 700 m
Total displacement: ___m, __° north of
east.

G2: The student followed a path traveling a

distance of 400 m going east and 300 m
going north from his home to school. As
shown on the map.
Group 3: Speed and Velocity. Scale: 1cm=100m
Guide Questions:
What is Speed?
What is Velocity?
What are the units of speed?
What was the speed of Mary’s travel?
How about velocity?
Group 4: Acceleration.
Guide questions:
What is acceleration?
What is Martin’s acceleration?
Let’s give 10 claps to each group.
Total distance= 500m + 300m= 800m
Total displacement= ___m, ___°north of
east.
G3:
 Speed is defined as distance
travelled divided by the time of
travel.
 Velocity is similar to speed except
that it not only tells how fast or how
slow a motion is; it also indicates
the direction.
 The units of speed can be miles per
hour (mi/h), kilometers per hour
(km/h), or meters per second (m/s)
“Mary drove to church. From his house, he
travelled 250 meters going west and 400
meters going north to get to church. It took
him 20 minute drive to reach the place.
What was the speed of Mary’s travel? How
about velocity?
To find the speed of Mary’s travel:
Formula: Speed= distance travelled
Elapsed time
V=displacement
time
Given: i= 250 m; d f = 400 m; t=20 min
d
Find speed=? Find velocity=?
Solution: Speed= 250 m + 400 m
20 min
Speed= 32.5 m/min
For velocity: Find the displacement first.
Scale 1 cm: 100m
250m x 1cm = 2.5cm
100m
400m x 1cm = 4cm
100m
Using ruler you can measure the displacement
d= 4.7 cm in ruler it is equal to 470m.
v= displacement
time
v= 470 m
20 min
v= 23.5 m/min, 58°NW
G4:
 Acceleration is defined as the rate of
change in velocity of a moving
objects.
Martin rides a bicycle at 2m/s south. 10
seconds later, he is pedaling at 3m/s south.
What is Martin’s acceleration?
Acceleration=change in velocity
Time
a= v f - v i
t
Given: v i= 2m/s; v f =3m/s; t=10s
(The teacher will discuss about the Find: a=?
presentation) Solution: a= v f - v i
t
. = 3m/s-2m/s = 1m/s =0.1m/ s2

Do you have any questions? (The leader give their score for each of the
D. Application reporter)
The sample weather bulletin will show you
the importance of knowing not just the
speed of the storm but also its direction.
What information is needed to track the
movement of a typhoon?

It is important to know the following about

a typhoon:
E. Generalization -original position
What is Motion? -velocity
How about distance and displacement? -acceleration
radius
Also the speed and the velocity?

And lastly, what is acceleration?

F. Evaluation: Multiple Choice

Directions: In a ¼ sheet of paper. Choose
the best answer and write the letter only.

1. What do you call that refers to the

length of the entire path that the
object travelled?
a. Distance
b. Displacement
c. Speed
d. Acceleration
2. It is defined as distance travelled
divided by the time of travel.
a. Distance
b. Displacement
c. Speed
d. Acceleration
3. What do you call that refers to the
shortest distance between the
object’s two positions?
a. Distance
b. Displacement
c. Speed
d. Acceleration
4. Why speedometer is important?
a. because they need to know how
fast they are going
b. because it shortens the distance
of a car
 c. because it will divide the time
travel
d. because it will determine the
length of the entire path
5. Which of the following is NOT an
example of unit of speed?
a. km/h
b. mi/h
c. sec/min
d. m/s
V. ASSIGNMENT
Write it in a ½ crosswise.
