Let’s Play a game!

The title of this game is “Complete

Me”.
In this game you need to find out
the word of the day. To be able to
do that you will answer the
unfinished statement in Column A.
The answers are provided in
Column B. You will be choosing the
letter of the correct answer, after
that, you will be pasting it on the
space provided by each number. If
you got all the correct answer the
word of the day will appear.
Yes Ma’am!

Are you ready guys?

5. Review

What is the word of the day? The word of the day is MOTION!
Good job guys!
Now, what is motion? Motion is the process of something moving
or changing place or even changing
position.
Very Good!
6. Motivation
The students will put all together
the pieces of puzzle to complete the
picture.

Who do you think is the person in

this photo? That is Isaac Newton ma’am!

Yes. You’re right!

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Sir Isaac newton is the proponent of
The three laws of motion, which will
Be our topic today.

Ask the students to bring out their

ballpen and place it in their
armchair and let them push it.

What did you observe about the

Pencil? It moves ma’am!

Definitely it will move because you

Applied force on it.
That is what first law of motion is
All about.
2. Discussion
The first law of motion states that
“an object at rest will remain at rest
and an object in motion will
continue in motion at constant
velocity unless a force acts on it to
change its state”.
Show other example of 1st law of
motion.
Group the students to perform the Group 1
activity.
Very good! Everyone did a
wonderful performance.
Let’s proceed to the second law of
motion which is known as the law of
acceleration.
Coins and cup
1. Place a card on top of an empty
cup.
2. Place a coin on the card.
3. Flick the card with your finger.
4. Continue until the coin drops into
the cup.
Group 2
Coins and bottle
1. Place a paper bill on top of an
empty bottle.
2. Place a coin on the bill.
3. Pull the bill with your hand.
4. Continue until the coin be on top of
the bottle.
Group 3
Bottle to bottle
1. Place a card on top of an empty
bottle.
2. Place a bottle on the bill.
3. Pull the bill with your hand
4. Continue until the bottle2 be on top
of bottle 1.
Group 4
Egg tube trick
1. Place a card on top of an empty
tube.
2. Place an egg on the card.
3. Pull the card with your hand.
4. Continue until the egg drops on the
tube.

It states that, “the acceleration of

the body is directly proportional to
the applied net force but inversely
proportional to the mass and is the
same direction as the force.”
Mathematically, it expressed as ;
F=ma

Where:
F=force
M=mass of the object
A= acceleration
Give a problem solving
1. Assuming that the mass of the
table is 4.6 kg and I applied a
force of 5N to make it move.
What will be the acceleration of A=f/m
the table? F=5N
Very good! You got the correct M=4.6kg
answer. =5N/4.6kg
2. How much force you need to A=1.09 m/s2
apply to accelerate the object f=ma
with 2.7 m/s2 if the mass of the m=8kg
 object is 8 kg? a=2.7 m/s2
f=(8kg) (2.7 m/s2 )
Good job guys! f= 21.6 N

Now for the last law of motion,

the law of interaction.
It states that, ”for every action,
there is an equal but opposite
reaction.”

Show a picture of a rocket.

Afterwards, they will do an Procedure:

the activity. 4. Observe and explain by applying the
third law of motion.
Call a volunteer to share his
observation.
3. Refinement
(Think-pair share)
You are watching a hockey
game. You notice that the The players have inertia, which is an

even when they stop pushing off Once the hockey player is moving, he will
with their skates. How is this keep moving in a straight line at a constant
possible? speed until acted by an outside force.

C. Concluding activities
1. Generalization
Define and states the laws of
motion?
2. Application
I will group you into three (3).
Choose your leader. The leader
of the group will present your
activity.
1. Law of inertia-“an object at rest will
remain at rest and an object in
motion will continue in motion at
constant velocity unless a force acts
on it to change its state”.
2. Law of acceleration-“the
acceleration of the body is directly
proportional to the applied net
force but inversely proportional to
the mass and is the same direction
as the force.”
3. Law of interaction-”for every action,
there is an equal but opposite
reaction.”

Each group will site example

where the laws of motion are
applied in our daily lives.

3. Valuing
Internalize the needs of seatbelt,
 sitting tightly when one is in
moving vehicle.
IV. Evaluation
Match the situation to the appropriate Newton’s Law. Explain how you identified which Law it was. If
there is a calculation to be done then complete this in the box provided.

V. ASSIGNMENT
To strengthen more your knowledge of today’s lesson, let us have an assignment.
Direction:
In your ½ sheet of paper answer the following questions.
1. If an object is at rest, can we conclude that there are no external force acting on it?
2. How can Newton’s 2nd law of motion be used to explain why it is difficult to push a large truck
than it is to push a small car?
3. Why does a gun move backward (recoil) when it is fired?
