A. INTRODUCTION

● PRAYER
“Good morning, everyone. Today, I'd like to
start our lesson with a prayer. Can I ask Ms. “Sure, I'd be happy to” (Leads the class in prayer)
Eniola to lead us in prayer, please?”

“Once again, good morning, brilliant minds! I

hope everyone is feeling charged up and ready “Good morning, Teacher! We're ready to learn and
for an exciting day of learning ahead. “ conquer the day!”
● CHECKING OF
ATTENDANCE

I'm pleased that everyone is prepared to learn.

Now, let's take attendance. Who is not present
today?

“Great! Looks like everyone is here today.” "None, Teacher. We are all present and ready to
start the class."
● CLASSROOM RULES

"Before we begin our lesson, I'd like to remind

everyone of our classroom rules."
1. LISTEN to your teacher and classmates
when they are talking.
2. BE ATTENTIVE and follow the
instructions carefully. "Yes, sir! The rules for the classroom are well

4. RAISE YOUR HAND if you want to
answer or say something.
5. PARTICIPATE
6. RESPECT everyone.

"Class, do you understand these rules clearly?"

ENGAGE

“Class! Today, we have a fun warm-up activity

to boost our engagement before diving into our “Whoa! We used to play it way back in grade
lesson. We're going to do a word search related school, I’m pretty sure we will get that right sir.
to our topic. You have one minute to answer.”

“Great, don't worry class, it's gonna be alright!

I'll flash the word search poster on the board
using the projector. Your task is to locate the
given words in the grid. You can find them “Yay, we love word searches but I hope it’s not that

horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
“Whoa! That’s nice!”
Whenever you find a word, highlight it using
the colored chalk provided. You'll earn 2 points “oh Inertia, interesting but i bet it’s kinda hard since
for each word you find, which will be added to soon we will be calculating forces and energy”
your activity score later.”
“But isn't it fun? i really love word search so I’m a
bit confident about this lesson”

“Well, good for you but nevertheless I will try my

best to catch up

“Let's go!”

“Right, let’s get it started!

“Yey, we already found several words in the puzzle!”

“Me too, I knew it was gonna be easy.”

“Oh really?, it’s so hard on my end, I’m not really a

linguistic person”

“Go everyone, we can do it”

“Well done, Student! Remember, the more

words you find, the more points you earn. This
activity not only warms us up but also I'm almost done teacher!
reinforces our understanding of the lesson
topic. Keep searching, everyone!”
"Wow! I managed to find all the words in time!"
Alright, times up!

"After completing the word search, how do you
think the energy and momentum we generated
during the activity might influence our
engagement with the upcoming lesson?
"I think the excitement from the word search
could carry over and make us more focused and
eager to participate in the lesson. It's like we've
built up momentum that keeps us motivated and
involved.”

B. Lesson Body - The lesson body will include:

I. CLASS DISCUSSION

“Today, we're going to explore the concept of

inertia through a video. Please pay close
attention as it will help us understand Newton's
First Law better.” “Interesting, I can’t wait to learn from the video.”

our upcoming lessons. Great participation,
everyone!” “It’s very interesting sir, thank you.”
EXPLAIN
“Inertia is when an object resists changes in its
motion. It can stay at rest or keep moving unless a
force acts on it.
“Who can tell me what inertia means?”
“I guess sir, friction also plays a significant role in
moving objects.”

“Excellent explanation!” “We agree sir!”

Inertia
Inertia is the property of matter that describes
its resistance to changes in motion. It is the
tendency of an object to remain at rest or in
uniform motion unless acted upon by an
external force.

It is a fundamental concept in physics and has

been observed since the dawn of the universe.
It explains why objects continue moving or
stay still unless a force is applied to change
their motion.
