Elicit A. Preliminaries
1. Greetings Good morning, Sir!
Good morning, everyone!
2. Opening Prayer
May I request everyone to stand up as we will now
(Students will stand up.)
begin our class with a prayer?
May I ask someone to please lead the prayer? (Someone will lead the prayer.)
In the name of the Father, and
Again, good morning class! of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
Classroom Management Praise be thy name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Now and forever,
4. Checking of Attendance Amen.
Now, let us check the attendance. Who is the secretary
of every group? May I know if there are any absent for
today?
5. Classroom Rules
These are the classroom rules I want every one of you to
observe. Whenever you are in my class, you should
follow these rules in order to maintain peace and order.
Let’s call these rules as the 4 Rs.
1. Raise your hand if you want to speak.
2. Refrain from making loud noises.
3. When I call you, you should stand up and
respond.
4. Respect one another.
Is that clear?
Good!

projectile, trajectory, parabola
Earlier, I introduced you to 4 important terms that we will and projectile motion
be using for our topic. Can someone name these words?
Sir,
In sports, such as baseball,
soccer, discus throw, javelin
throw, etc.
Evaluate I. IDENTIFICATION
_______1. is any object that is given an initial velocity and
then follows a path determined entirely by gravity. Answer Key:
_______2. is the path an object follows as it moves through
space. 1. Projectile
_______3. is a curve that is shaped like the path of something 2. Trajectory
that is thrown forward and high in the air and falls back to the 3. Parabola
ground. 4. Projectile Motion
_______4. is a form of motion in which an object is thrown 5. Force
near the Earth’s surface and it moves along a curved path 6. False
under the action of gravity only. 7. False

CURVE ME ON AN INCLINE
Objectives:
1. Capture a full trajectory of projectile motion on an inclined surface.
2. Investigate the relationship between the projection angle, the height, and the range.
Materials:
marble, face powder, retractable pen, sticky tape, 2 popsicle sticks, 1/8 illustration board, books,
protractor, pencil, tissue paper
Procedures:
1. Tape the popsicle sticks together. Using tape, attach these firmly to one side of the retractable pen to
serve as the launching pad. Push the top end and position the object to launch (marble).
2. Using a protractor and pencil, mark the bottom left of the illustration board with angles at 15 degree-
intervals (15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 75°).
3. To complete the setup, elevate one end of the board using books with an angle of inclination of about
20° - 40°. Use another book to hold the inclined surface in place.
4. Push the top end of the modified retractable pen and firmly hold it on the bottom left of the illustration
board where the marked angles are drawn.
5. Carefully placed the powder-coated marble on its launching pad. Launch the marble at 15° by pushing
the clip of the modified retractable pen.
6. Trace the powder-marked trajectory with a pencil. Repeat steps 4 and 5 but this time launching the
marble at the other angles.
7. After completing the activity, answer the guide questions. Write your answers in a 1/8 manila paper.
Prepare to present your answers to the class.
Guide Questions:
1. Describe the shape of the trajectory for projectiles fired at angles along an incline.
2. Compare the locations of the trajectory peaks in terms of maximum height.
3. Compare the horizontal distances reached when they returned to the elevation from which they were
projected.
4. Among the trajectories of projectiles fired at angles, for the same launching velocity, which covered the
greatest range.
5. Among the trajectories of projectiles fired at angles, for the same launching velocity, which recorded the
highest peak?
6. Which pairs have trajectories have ranges that are almost equal?
