SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN

IN SCIENCE GRADE 7
DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT

January 26, 2019

I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
1. Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance and displacement.
2. Differentiate quantities in terms of magnitude and direction.
3. Demonstrate distance and displacement through a visual/graphical representation.
4. Obtain a CPL of 75% or above in a short assessment test on the subject matter.

II. SUBJECT MATTER


A. TOPIC : DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT
B. REFERENCES : NSTIC Science Manual. Integrated Science Manual. 413 M. pp.
2-13. (Module 8). MISOSA 6. Module 24/
C. MATERIALS : Laptop, projector, colored chalks, blackboard, printed material,
PowerPoint presentation.
KBI: Develop an appreciation on the role of distance and displacement in disaster risk reduction
from natural calamities.

III. PROCEDURE
A. Preparation
Ask one of the students to lead the prayer.
Checking of attendance.
B. Motivation
Ask the students regarding their travel or vacation experiences and relate it to motion.
C. Lesson Proper
1. ACTIVITY

Display a figure shown above and let the students answer the following questions:
 How far did the dog travel from its point of origin to its 1st destination? In what
direction?
 How far did the dog travel from its 1st destination to its 2nd destination? In what
direction?
 How far did the dog travel from its 2nd destination to its 3rd and final destination? In
what direction?
 What is the total length traveled by the dog from its point of origin to its final
destination?
 What is the shortest distance of the dog relative to its points of origin?

2. ANALYSIS
What is distance?
What is displacement?
How do we determine distance?
How do we determine displacement?
How do you compute for final displacement?
Introduce the Pythagorean theorem: c2=b2+a2 in relation to displacement.

3. ABSTRACTION
In science, motion is a change of an object relative to its point of reference. This change
in position can be measured in two ways; distance and displacement. Distance refers to
the length of the entire path that the object traveled; while displacement is the distance
between the object’s point of origin and its point of destination regardless of the path it
took to get to that destination.
Compare and contrast distance and displacement in a table format.

4. APPLICATION
Distance and displacement are very relevant in times of natural disaster. In example, the
Super Typhoon Yolanda brought about storm surge dealing immeasurable damage both
in property and life to Region VIII. People were displaced and relocated to housing
projects as an effect. One of the bases of these relocation projects is the distance and
displacement of these houses relative to the shorelines and gathered data regarding the
extent of the storm surge.

IV. ASSESSMENT
Give a short quiz
1. Distance is a vector quantity.
a. True b. Partially true
c. False d. None of the above

2. Can displacement be greater than distance?


a. No, it can be shorter but it cannot be greater than distance.
b. Yes, it can be greater than distance.
c. It depends on the given parameters.
d. None of the above.

3. “Displacement is equal to zero if the object traveled back to its initial point of origin.” The
statement is…
a. False b. Partially false
c. True d. None of the above

4-5. A student walks 2 m east, 4 m north and 6 m west. Solve for distance and displacement.
