A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES

• Introduction & Greetings

Good afternoon class! Good afternoon, Sir!

Please pick up the papers under your chairs (Students will organize their seats and

Before we start our class, let us have a prayer
first. Everyone, please stand.

(Teacher will call someone to lead the prayer.) (The students will pray.)
Amen Amen

Everybody take your seat.

How are you today? We are doing great.
Very Good! I am glad to hear that.

• Setting Classroom Rules

Before we start the class, simple classroom
rules will be imposed all throughout the
session.

2. Raise your hand if you have questions or
clarifications.
3. Share new ideas.

Do I make myself clear? Yes, Sir.

Before we proceed to our next topic, let us first
recall what we have discussed in our previous
session. Who among you here can remember
what our topic was about? Sir, we talked about Speed.

That is correct, Princess. Now, what is speed? Princess: Speed is a type of rate that
measures how long it takes to travel a
distance.

Very good! What factors affect the speed? Dave: Time and distance

Very good! I’m glad that you still clearly

remember our topic yesterday. Now let’s
proceed to a new lesson.

D. UNLOCKING OF TERMS

● Magnitude. Simply as a number.

● Direction. Refers to the path along which (The students read the different terms
something moves.
and its definition)
● Vector. A vector is a quantity that has
both magnitude and direction.

E. LESSON PROPER

Let us have a group activity. I will group you
into two, and I will give each group the
materials needed for the activity.

answer the table below and then you'll have a
few minutes to collaborate with the other
group to answer the question.

• Analysis

(The teacher will let the representative in each

group to share their answers in the front) (The student presents their output.)
Did the activity give you an idea of what is Yes, Sir
velocity?

• Discussion
In relation to the activity that we just had, we
will be going to talk about velocity. By
definition, velocity measures how fast
something is moving plus the direction that the
object is moving.

So velocity is the rate of displacement of a

moving object over time.

It could appear that today's lesson and the one

we just completed are similar. But if you’re
studying physics, it’s important to know the
difference between these two concepts. Speed
and velocity both measure an object’s rate of
motion. However, speed is a scalar quantity,
and velocity is a vector quantity, which
depends on direction as well as magnitude.
Velocity is a vector quantity that has both
magnitude and direction.

The unit of measurement of velocity is m/s.

Now, let’s proceed on how to calculate the
average velocity.

To get the average velocity, you need to

divide the change in displacement (d) over
the change in time (t).

See for example, we have here a problem.

Problem #1. Glenn walks 100 m East to a

( Students read the problem #1)
friend’s house and walks another 50 m East in
200 s. What is George’s average velocity?
Following the GUESS format:

Given: = 100 m E + 50 m E
= 150 m E
t = 200 s
Unknown:

Equation:

Substitution: = 150 m E /200

Simplify : = 0.75 m/s East

Therefore, Glenn's average velocity is 0.75

meters per second in the eastward direction.

Now try answering in your paper, problem

#2.

(Students read the problem #2)

Problem #2. A runner runs 50 meters North in
20 seconds and another 50 meters North in 30
seconds. What is the runner's average velocity?

Following the GUESS format:

Given: = 50 m N + 50 m N = 100 m
N
t = 20 s + 30 s = 50 s
Unknown:

Equation:

Substitution: 100 m N/ 50 s
Simplify: = 2 m/s North

Therefore, the runner's average velocity is 2

meters per second in the northward direction. (Students practicing answering the
problem)
Daisy Joy, show your answer on the board and
explain your answer. (Daisy Joy writes her answer on the
board and explain)
Do you think the answer of Daisy Joy is
correct? Yes, Sir!

● Application

In everyday life, velocity can be observed and

experienced in various situations, such as:

Driving a car: The velocity of the car

determines how quickly it can cover a certain
 distance and how long it will take to reach a
destination.

In navigation, knowing the velocity and

direction of a vehicle or ship can help in
planning a route and estimating the time of
arrival.

Sports and physical activities. By measuring

the speed at which an athlete or participant
moves, coaches and educators can gauge their
progress, identify areas for improvement, and
set specific goals to enhance performance.

F. GENERALIZATION

Based on our discussion earlier, what is

velocity?
Yes, Princess? Very good! Princess: velocity measures how fast
What is the unit of measurement of velocity? something is moving plus the direction
Yes, Dave? Very good! that the object is moving.

What is the formula of velocity? Yes, Daisy? Dave: meter per second or m/s
Very good! Daisy

If you don’t have any questions or
clarifications, then we will have our quiz.
