Scientists and engineers analyze forces to predict their effects on movement.
C. Performance Standards
By the end of the Quarter, learners employ scientific techniques, concepts, and models to investigate forces and motion and represent their understanding using scientific language, force
diagrams, and distance-time graphs.
Vector Addition and Subtraction: Understanding how forces combine in free-body diagrams introduces students to vector operations (addition, subtraction, and resolution of forces). They can practice these skills in math classes by learning how to
Integration
represent and calculate the resultant force in both 2D and 3D.
Geometry: Students can apply geometry when determining the angles and components of forces in free-body diagrams, particularly when forces are not aligned along the same axis. The concept of trigonometry (sine, cosine) can also be used to
resolve forces into components.

III. TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCEDURES
WORD CRYPTOGRAM
The students will decode the hidden words to unlock the words to be used in the lesson.
Scenario 1: Imagine a book lying on a table. You push the book to the right with a force of 5 N, but someone else pushes it to the left with a force of 5 N. What happens to the book?
Scenario 2:
Now imagine you push the book with a force of 5 N to the right, but no one else pushes it. What happens?

magnitude) of the force.
2. Determine the direction of the net force (right, left, up, down, or not applicable?NA) and state of motion of
the object due to these forces (at rest, in motion: constant or changing speed).
