I. OBJECTIVES:
- Define friction
- Identify the different kinds of friction
- Demonstrate how friction work
- Work cooperatively with the group
A. Content Standards: The learners demonstrate understanding of gravity and friction
affect movement of objects
C. Learning Competencies / Objectives: Infer how friction and gravity affects movements of different
objects. S6FE-IIIa-c-1
1. Investigate why an object moving along a surface slows down
and eventually stops. (S6FE-IIIa-c-1.1)
2. Describe and define friction. (S6FE-IIIa-c-1.2)
II. CONTENT Gravitation and Frictional Forces
10. When most objects with smooth surfaces rub, there is less
friction.
A. True
B. False
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson Think about what happens when you try to push a heavy sofa
across the floor. If you push the sofa with less force than force of
static friction between the sofa and the floor, the sofa will not
move. You must use greater force to start the motion of the
stationary object. An object at rest starts moving when an external
force that is greater than the frictional force is extended on it.
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new Activity 2: Kinetic Friction
skills #1
Directions: Put a check (/) on the blank before their numbers if the
statement describes kinetic friction and if not cross out (X).
______________1. Kinetic friction is defined as a force that acts
between moving surfaces. A body moving on the surface
experiences a force in the opposite direction of its movement.
______________2. The magnitude of the force will depend on the
coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials.
______________3. Kinetic friction is produced when brakes are
applied to tires, when an object like a box slides across the ground,
or when sandpaper is rubbed across a surface.
______________4. The frictional force resists force that is applied
to an object, and the object remains at rest until the force of static
friction is overcome.
______________5. The friction experienced when individuals try
to move a stationary object on a surface, without actually
triggering any relative motion between the body and the surface on
which it is on.
F. Developing Mastery (Leads to Formative Activity: Measuring the Distance of a Moving Object
Assessment 3) Let’s find out:
Let us investigate why an object moving along a surface slows
down and eventually stops.
Materials: ball, tape measure, watch, chalk
Procedure:
1.Look for a smooth floor. Draw a starting line.
2. From the starting line, roll the ball gently. Make sure the ball
will not hit any object while rolling.
3. Use a watch to get the time the ball starts rolling until it stops.
Record this on the table below.
4.Observe if there is a change in the ball’s speed.
5. Measure the distance travelled by the ball using your tape
measure. Record this on the table below.
6. Repeat the procedure. Have at least two more trials. Be sure to
apply the same amount of force.
7. Look for a rough ground (i.e., stony ground).
8. Do the same procedures as you have done in the smooth surface.
Be sure to apply the same amount of force.
Guided Questions:
1.What happens to the ball after rolling for some time?

skills in daily living paragraph.
The force between rubbing surfaces is called 1.______. Friction
2._____ down the movement of objects. The 3._________ surface

4. _______ surface produce 5._____ friction.
6. ___________ is friction that acts on objects that are not moving
or 7. ___________. It is a kind of friction that 8.___________ an
object from moving against the surface.
9.________ friction is defined as a force that acts between moving
surfaces. A body moving on the surface experiences a force in the
10._____________________of its movement. The magnitude of
the force will depend on the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the two materials.
H. Making generalization and abstractions about Kinetic friction is defined as a force that acts between moving
the lesson surfaces. A body moving on the surface experiences a force in the
opposite direction of its movement. The magnitude of the force
will depend on the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two
materials.

remediation learned.
1. Check the steel windows in your classroom or at home. Close and open
them frequently and observe if you can move them easily. If you find
difficulty in opening or closing them, you need to reduce the friction.
What should you do to make them easier to open and close?
