INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this lesson is to emphasize the two topics: Forces and Their Effects and

Types of Motion are the two main topics of the lesson.

● Force:

2
 ● Introduce the concept of force as a push or pull that can cause an object to
change its state of motion.
● Types of Forces:
● Explore different types of forces, including gravitational, frictional, and applied
forces. Discuss how these forces impact the motion of objects.
● Effects of Forces:
● Examine how forces can cause objects to start moving, stop moving, or change
direction. Illustrate these effects through real-life examples and demonstrations

Types of Motion:

● Linear Motion:
a. Define linear motion as the movement of an object in a straight line. Explore
examples such as a car moving on a straight road.
● Circular Motion:
a. Introduce circular motion as the movement of an object in a circular path.
Discuss examples like a satellite orbiting Earth or a tetherball swinging in a circle.
● Periodic Motion:
a. Define periodic motion as the repetitive back-and-forth motion of an object.
Discuss examples like the swinging of a pendulum or the oscillation of a spring.

OBJECTIVES
➢ understand the basic concept of force and motion.
➢ differentiate between objects at rest and in motion.
➢ observe and describe the effects of pushes and pulls on objects

Pre-test
Directions: answer the following questions, choose the correct answer.

1. The measure of the pull of gravity on an object

A.Repel
B.weight
C.work

3
D.speed

2.a change in position

A.speed
B.pull
C.motion
D.push

3.to draw or pull toward an object

A. Attract
B.Gravity
C.push
D.force

4.The force that pulls us and everything around us down

A.magnetic
B.Gravity
C.Motion
D.Repel

5.The place where someone or something is placed

A.Position
B.physical property
C.system
D.over there

CONTENT
Forces influence objects that are at rest or that are already
in motion. Isaac Newton's three laws of motion describe
how forces interact with objects to influence motion. The

4
laws include inertia, mass, velocity, and momentum,
gravity, friction, and magnetism are important forces.

● Forces and motion are integral parts of our daily lives.

● A force is anything that can push or pull an object.

● Forces influence objects that are at rest or that are

already in motion.

● Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion describe how

forces interact with objects to influence motion. The
laws include inertia, mass, velocity, and momentum.

● Gravity, friction, and magnetism are important forces.

● Generating a force requires energy. Energy can be

stored as potential energy or as kinetic energy.
● ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
Balloon Races- Balloon Races. In this Investigate station, the teacher sets up a
string between two sets of chairs with a straw attached to it. Balloons are attached
to each, blown up and then let go. Students race to see which balloon finishes
first. Here is an example of a set up on a instruction:

5
 Measure a magnetic field- Measure the size of a magnet’s magnetic field by
attaching a magnet to a craft stick and a paperclip to a string. Carefully “raise” the
paperclip. Have a partner measure the size of the magnet’s magnetic field.

Using a ruler, students measure the space between the magnet and the paperclip.
This takes some testing first to determine where the magnetic field ends and the
paperclip falls.

Build A Chain Reaction

Otherwise known as a Rube Goldberg machine, this fun project is an opportunity for students to
use a variety of forces to create a chain reaction that completes a simple task.

6
Provide students with building materials such as cardboard, tape, Hot Wheels tracks, string,
dominoes, magnets, and anything else you have available.

GENERALIZATION
Explain in 2 to 3 sentences how Force and motion in effect your everyday life.

APPLICATION
Mini Activity to apply force and motion

Egg Drop Challenge:

Instruction: You should make you egg drop safe using the material below:

Materials Needed:

Raw eggs
Assorted materials (e.g., paper, tape, cotton balls, straws)
Measuring tape or ruler
Notebooks or data sheets for recording observations

Objective for this challenge:

7
The Egg Drop Challenge aims to deepen students' understanding of force and motion
principles by testing them with designing and constructing a protective device to prevent a
raw egg from cracking during a fall. Through this hands-on activity, students will explore the
practical application of their knowledge while analyzing the impact forces involved

ASSESSMENT

Directions: Multiple choice

1. A set of parts or elements forming a whole and functioning as a unit

also pulling on the leash. Neither the boy
Or the dog move.

Are the forces acting on the leash balanced

or unbalanced?

A. Balanced forces
B. Unbalanced forces

3. The greater the force, the less the change

in
the position of the object.

8
 A. True
B. False

4. A boy kicks a soccer ball. The ball rolls

away from him

or unbalanced?

A. Balanced forces
B. Unbalanced forces

5. How do you know if an object has changed

position?

A. It is not visible anymore.

B. It looks bigger.
C. It is farther or closer from a reference point.
D. It is on top of a reference point.

6. The woman pushes the shopping cart. The

cart rolls forward.
