I. Objective
At the end of this lesson, the learners should be able to:
 Describe the motion of an object relative to the point of reference

Concept

Acceleration refers to the rate of change in speed or velocity of an object. The concept of acceleration is
introduced as due to the change in the speed or direction of a moving object. So, even if there is no change in
speed but there is a change in direction, acceleration is achieved.

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

Good morning class! Good morning ma’am

(Teacher will call someone to lead the prayer.. After praying) Before you take (Learners do what the teacher says)
your sit, arrange your chairs, pick up some pieces of paper. After that you may
sit.

How was your day?

That’s good to hear then. Have you taken your breakfast already? It was good ma’am

Yes ma’am

That’s good. So, let’s proceed now, are you ready to listen to my discussion
class? Yes ma’am
Very good.

What was the topic last meeting class?

It was all about Speed and Velocity

Very good, it was all about Speed and Velocity. Mr? Can you tell us what is
speed and what is the equation for this?
Speed is defined as distance travelled
divided by the time of travel.
Very good. How about the Velocity? Yes Ms?
 Velocity is referred as the speed with
direction

Thank you! Let’s go back to the first topic that we had. Remember that we
tackled about How far did the object travel right? That’s why we come up to Yes ma’am
know Distance and Displacement. Right after we tackled about How fast
right? That’s why we came up to know Speed and Velocity. Am I right?

But what if change happen? Like there is a change in speed? Or a change in

velocity? What will we call it?

(Learners will guess)

Last September, Iligan celebrated Diyandi Festival right? There are lots of
events happen. Miss Gay Iligan, Miss Iligan, there are also concerts like
Itchyworms and also Michael Pangilinan right. But for me, on all the events
and highlights happen last September, the most unforgettable one for me is
Mugna.

Have you gone to mugna?

What rides have you ridden?

Yes ma’am

Ohh really? It’s my first time riding the Galleon. Have you ride the galleon? It’s
very amazing right, especially when you are in the last seats. At first, it was (Learners will share the names of the
slow, then after a couple of minutes, it will get faster and higher. rides that they’ve ridden in Mugna)

Also, one of my goals is to ride a roller coaster. Have you ride one? Yes ma’am

Really? That’s great! I wish I can ride one, but I’m too scared to try. Can you
explain to me what it feels like riding a roller coaster?

Yes ma’am
Yeah your right, base from the movies that I’ve watched and stories that I’ve
heard from my friends, it’s a very scary ride, especially to those who are not
fond of heights. Because at first, it’ll start really slow, then it will go higher and
(Learners will explain their experiences
then it will increase it’s speed, it will suddenly turn left and turn right, up and
in riding a roller coaster)
down.

It’s crazy right?

These kind of rides like Galleon, Roller coaster and other extreme rides in
mugna, let us experience these things like change in speed and velocity. Am I
right? Most especially in roller coaster.

So, this time, we will encounter changes in speed and velocity. Unfortunately,
we will not conduct an activity outside. We will do it inside the room. Yes ma’am
Group leaders? Can I get 1php please? Yes ma’am

(Teacher will collect 1php from the group leaders in exchange of the activity
worksheet)

I’ll give you 15 minutes to complete the activity. Take note, this activity is
individual not by group. Okay?
(Group leaders will give the collection
of 1php to their teacher)
(After 15 minutes)

(Teacher will call three student to share their output in the front)

Okay time is up! May I request (Call a name) to discuss their answers in the

front.

(After discussing their outputs in the front)

Please pass your papers in the front. This activity will be 20 point, okay?
(Learners explain their answers in the
front)

What do you observe in the graphs and from your answers?

(Learners pass their papers in the

Yes it is. There is an initial position and a final position. Also, there is a time front)
involved. What does this implies?
Yes ma’am

Yes your right. We can say that this object is right here and after it walks or

For further discussion about this changes in motion, I will discuss it to you

Good bye class! See you tomorrow

Yes ma’am
 Okay ma’am

Good bye ma’am
