Good morning, class! It’s nice to see you all here today.

Good morning, Ma’am! It’s nice to see you too.

a.3 Classroom conditioning
Since every class session we are changing the
arrangement of your chairs into something new, today,
will arrange them into three semicircles! Just like how
we always do it, I’ll play a song for you to sing along
while arranging your chairs and when the song ends,
Yes, Ma’am!
everything should be in order. Are you ready?

(The Teacher plays the song “Walking Walking”)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPMjnlTEZwU (The students sing along while arranging their
chairs)

Okay, the song has ended. Let me see your chairs. Very
good, those are indeed three semicircles! Give
yourselves a Good Job Clap! (The students perform the Good Job Clap)

Before you take your seat, kindly look at your left, right,
front, and back to check if there’s any piece of trash near
(The students follow the teacher’s instructions)
you and pick it up.

a.4. Checking of Attendance

I hope everyone’s day is going well.
Class secretary is there anyone absent today? None, Ma’am.

That is good to hear, it seems like everyone is ready for

today.

a.5. Checking of Assignments

I gave you a research assignment last meeting, right? Yes, Ma’am.

B. Review of the Previous Lesson/Motivation

Before we start, I would like to know if you still

remember our lesson last time. So, I prepared a simple
yet exciting game for you. Are you ready?
Yes, Ma’am!

Activity 1: GUESS WHOAT?

(The teacher will flash the instructions on the screen)

Can someone read the instruction for our activity?

(The students raise their hands)

Yes, Elisia? Game Mechanics:

1. The class will be divided into two (2)
groups. They will choose one
representative per group.
2. The task is to guess the picture correctly.
3. There are jumbled letters pasted on the
board.
4. If your guess is correct, you can decide
whether you answer or pass the jumbled
letters to your groupmate.
5. If your guess is wrong, you have no
choice but to arrange the jumbled letters.

Okay, the left side will be the group 1 while the right
side will be the group 2. For each item you will change
your representative. Is that clear?

Yes, Ma’am!
I will give you an example.

Station 2: Law of Acceleration

Materials:
 Crumpled paper
 Stones
 Pen
 Ruler
Procedure:
Part A: Constant Force (The students will perform the activity)
1. Position the crumpled paper in front of the ruler.
2. Gently pull the ruler back and let it go.
3. Next, place a stone in front of the ruler.
4. Again, carefully pull the ruler back and release it,
making sure to pull it to the same point each time
to keep the force consistent.
Part B: Constant Mass
1. Place the crumpled paper in front of the ruler.
2. Gently pull the ruler back and release it.
3. Repeat the process, but this time pull the ruler
back further than in the first trial.

Guide Questions:
1. When the ruler was bent backward with a
constant force, which moved faster—the

D. Practical applications of concepts and skills in

daily living

Now, I want you to think of the moments or

circumstances in our daily lives where we can apply and
prove Newton’s three laws of motion.
Give me at least one example. Let us start with the Law
of Inertia.
A book resting on a table. The book will remain
at rest unless a force (like someone pushing it)
acts upon it. Similarly, if you slide the book, it
will continue moving until friction or another
force stops it.

Very well said! How about the Law of Acceleration?

Pushing a shopping cart. The acceleration of the
shopping cart depends on the force applied and
the mass of the cart. If the cart is empty, it
accelerates quickly when you push it. If it's full, it
requires more force to achieve the same
acceleration.

Very good! Now, for the Law of Interaction.

Jumping off a small boat onto the shore. When
you jump forward (action), the boat moves
backward (reaction). This is because your legs
push against the boat, and the boat pushes back
with an equal and opposite force.

E. Generalization

Can someone tell me who formulated the Laws of Isaac Newton formulated the Laws of Motion.
Motion?

Very good! Now, state the three Laws of Motion. First law of motion (Law of inertia)
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in
motion stays in motion with the same speed and
in the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.

Second law of motion (Law of Acceleration)

Force F is the product of an object's mass and its
acceleration.

Third law of motion (Law of Interaction)

For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
