LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 6

Quarter 3: Monday, February 6,2024

I. Objective:
Infer how friction and gravity affect movements of different objects
Understand how friction affect movements of different objects.
Work cooperatively with the group.
II. Subject Matter: Effects of Gravity and Friction to the movements of different objects.
1. Concept:
 Friction is a force that occurs between the surfaces of two objects in contact or
rubbing against each other.
 Friction brings advantages and disadvantages to moving and non-moving
objects.
2. Process Skills:
Observing, Describing, Classifying, Inferring
3. Integration: MAPEH (PE, Health), English

A. References:
1. Science Beyond Borders pages 135-137
2. ADM Module in Science 6 Quarter 3 Module 1
B. Materials: Laptop, Projector, Pictures, Power point Presentation,
a book, a ball, wooden block, oil, trolly bag, glass sheet,

C. Vocabulary words:
rub opposes opposite stop

III. Instructional Procedure:

A. Preparatory Activities
1. Greetings and checking of assignment
2. Energizer
3. Review:
Directions: Read the following items carefully and tell whether the statements
are True or False. On your answer sheet, write True if the statement is correct
and False if the statement is incorrect.
1. Friction is an energy that moves objects.
2. Friction causes moving objects to stop.
3. Friction occurs when two surfaces rub against each other.
4. Friction allows objects to continue moving.
5. Friction acts in a direction opposite the direction of an object’s
motion.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Drill
Read the following sentences about friction.
1. Friction is a force that opposes motion of an object.
2. Friction acts opposite to the direction of moving objects.
3. Friction exists when two surfaces rub against each other.
4. Friction can cause moving objects to stop.

2. Motivation:
Watch and listen to song.
https://youtu.be/OmkY4wMYbls?si=dR-FXx8o6kaYCoQW
According to the song which helps us to slow down?
When does friction happen?

3. Presentation/ Free Exploration:

Group Activity and Reporting
 Group 1- Rolling and sliding
 Group 2- Falling Objects
 Group 3- The Genius. (Create or make sentences about friction with the help of
drawings/illustrations).
 Group 4- The Singer (Make a song about friction with help of the short passage
about friction.)

4. Comparison and Abstraction:

1. Why does the ball and the box travel at different distances?
2. How does friction affect the movement of objects with big or small surface areas?
3. How does friction affect the movement of objects such as the ball and the box?
4. Base on the activity what is the factor affecting friction?
5. Does air affect the falling of the two papers? Why?
6. Which object experienced the greater opposing force of the air? Why?

5. Generalization
Friction affects the movement of objects It also slows the movement of objects in motion.
Friction is greater in rough surface and object with bigger surface area and lesser in smooth surface and
object with smaller surface area.

6. Application:
A. Directions:
Write “MF” if more friction or “LF” if less friction is needed on the following activities or objects. Write your
answers on your answer sheet.
1.walking a smooth surface
2.writing on a paper-covered surface
3.skating
4.grinding
5.sliding door
6.holding a glass of water
7.pushing a heavy cabinet
8.rotating gears of bicycle
9.pole climbing
10.setting of glass and plates on top of a table

IV. Evaluation:
Directions: Infer how friction affects movement of objects by analyzing and answering the following
questions. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

1. Why do drivers drive their car slowly during rainy days?

 A. Drivers drive slowly because the windshield is blurred.
B. Drivers drive slowly because they are afraid of the rain.
C. Drivers drive slowly because the road is wet so there is less friction.
D. Drivers drive slowly because the road is wet so there is more friction.

2. Which is NOT a way of reducing friction?

A. applying lubricant
B. putting spikes on tires
C. making the floor smooth
D. putting grease on bicycle gears

3. Why do you need to put rollers under the cabinets when you want to move them?
A. to apply more force
B. to stop the movement of the cabinet
C. to slow down the movement of the cabinet
D. to minimize friction through the small surface of contact of the rollers.

4. Why do badminton players use rubber shoes while playing?

A. to slide since the badminton court is slippery
B. to glide faster since the badminton court is slippery
C. to have lesser friction between their shoes and the floor.
D. to have greater friction between their shoes and the floor.

5. Which of the following situations shows that friction is increased?

A. Ana uses rubber shoes while jogging.
B. Ruben puts rollers on heavy cabinets.
C. Naldo puts grease on his bicycle gears.
D. Belle puts floor wax to make the floor smooth.

6. In which of the following situations would friction most likely pose a problem?
A. holding a pen to write
B. striking a match to cook
C. walking on a slippery floor
D. rubbing your hands to warm them

7. Which of the following shows that friction could be harmful?

A. writing on the board
B. holding a piece of paper
C. tearing out of bicycle gears
D. using breaks when stopping

8. How do you describe the friction between a surface and an object with greater surface area?
A. greater
B. equal
C. smaller
D. the same

9. A crumpled and an uncrumpled paper were dropped at the same height and time, which paper will
reach the ground first?
A. The crumpled paper because it has a smaller surface area.
B. The uncrumpled paper because it has a bigger surface area.
C. Crumpled paper because it is heavier compared to the uncrumpled paper.
D. None, because both the crumpled and uncrumpled paper have same masses.

10. A boy is playing with a toy car. In which surface will it travel faster?
 A. cemented floor
B. carpeted floor
C. grassy surface
D. polished floor

V. Assignment:
Directions: Identify the activities below that show a way of reducing friction. Put a tick mark () in the box if
it shows reducing friction and cross (X) if not.

1. Nestor puts rollers under his heavy cabinet.

2. Erol uses rubber shoes while playing basketball.

3. Andrea applies floor wax to make the floor smooth.

4. Nelmar puts grease on his bicycle gears.

5. Rose mops the wet floor
