Timeframe
A. Introduction 30 mins. In your previous lesson about Force, Motion and Energy, you
Panimula learned about the movement of objects and the things that make
the objects move. This time, you are going to learn about the
effects of force applied to an object.
Force is either a push or pull on an object. It occurs when two or
more objects interact with each other. For instance, when you
stretch a rubber band, you apply a pulling force. When you press a
sponge, you exert a pushing force. Magnets, gravity and friction can
also cause things to move. Force can also change the shape, size or
movement of an object.
The shape of an object may change when force is applied on it.
Pushing, pounding, compressing, bending, twisting, stretching or
squeezing are some ways of changing the shape of an object.
The size of an object may also change when force is applied. For
example, cutting a cardboard makes it smaller. Sharpening a pencil
makes the pencil shorter.

What do you think will happen to a toy car if you apply a stronger
force to it to make it move compared to a lesser force exerted on
it? Yes, you got it right! The toy car will move faster if greater force is
applied and it will move slower if lesser force is given. The force
applied to an object affect the movement of an object, whether it
is push and go or hang and pull.

You are now going to learn more about this in the next
activities.

B. Development 70 mins Learning Task No. 1: “Effects of Force on the Size and Shape of an
(Pagpapaunlad) Object”.
Prepare the materials listed below, you may replace these
with other materials available at home. You may also ask the
help of your parents/guardian or any adult member of the family
if needed.
Materials: sponge, any biscuit, any piece of paper, eggshell,
plastic cup
Procedure:
1. List down all the materials/objects you have prepared in the
table below under Column A.
2. Observe each of the materials you have gathered.

3. Fill out Column B with what you did to change the shape of
the materials.
4. Fill out Column C with Changes that took place after you
have applied force on the materials. The first one is done for
you as an example.

After doing the activity, answer the Guide Questions in your
notebook.
Guide Questions:
1. Look at your answers in Column B. What are the ways you
did to change the shape of the objects?
2. Listed below are other ways to change the shape of objects.
What do you think will happen to an object if you will apply
the following forces?
a. Pound b. bend c. stretch c. crumple e. press
3. Based on your answers above, what do you think can force
do to an object?
How did you do with the activity? Were you able to explain
how force changes the size and shape of an object? That is great.
If you have the K to 12 Learner’s Material, you may also read
the pp. 170-175 to know more about the effects of force on the size
and shape of objects.
Learning Task No. 2: “Effects of Force on the Movement of an
Object”
Prepare the materials listed below, you may use other
materials at home if the materials listed are not available.
Materials: any round object like ball or marble or a toy car if you
have
Procedure:
1. Find a flat surface at home. It can be on the floor or on top of
the table.
2. Make a starting point on the flat surface and mark it.
3. Place your material(ex.ball) on the starting point and gently
push it with your hand.
4. Measure the distance the ball has travelled using a meter stick
or ruler or tape measure. Record your measurement in the
table.

5. Bring the ball to the starting point and repeat Steps 3 and 4 for
two more times, but this time, push the ball with varying force
applied on it.
6. Copy the table in your notebook and record all your
observation in the data table.

After doing the activity, answer the Guide Questions in your
notebook:

Guide Questions:
1. How do you compare the distance travelled by the ball when
push by the weakest force and when pushed by the strongest
force?
2. Which degree of force applied made the ball travelled the
farthest? the nearest?
3. What affected the distance travelled by the ball?

C. Engagement 50 mins

Personal Assessment on Learner’s Level of Performance

Using the symbols below, choose one which best describes your experience in working on each given task. Draw it in the
column for Level of Performance (LP). Be guided by the descriptions below.
- I was able to do/perform the task without any difficulty. The task helped me in understanding the target content/lesson.
- I was able to do/perform the task. It was quite challenging but it still helped me in understanding the target content/lesson.
- I was not able to do/perform the task. It was extremely difficult. I need additional enrichment activities to be able to
do/perform this task.
