What I Need to Do

This activity sheet was designed and written with you in mind. It is made to
help you deals with different ways in which we describe ways of moving
objects. The scope of this activity sheet permits it to be used in many different
learning situations. The language used recognizes your diverse vocabulary
backgrounds. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course but the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with
the Science Grade 3 learning materials you are using.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
 Describe the location of an object after it has moved.

Activity 1: How do you know that an object has moved?

Objective: Described the location of the object after it has moved.

Many of the things around us move. Some move slowly like the turtles and
clouds; others move much more quickly like the satellites.

Activity I:
Look around you and observe. Give and describe the location of the three
objects that are moving based on your observation. Answer in different paper.

a. What is the location of the marble before

b. How far did the marble move?
c. What is the location of your marble after pushing it?
d. What is the reference point of the object that tells you that the marble
moved?

An object has moved if it travels a distance from its reference point. A reference
point is the position of an object where it starts before moving. It is important to
know the reference point of an object to describe how far an object moves or
measure the distance of the object from it reference point.

We can also describe it by describing its direction relative to that point of
reference. Look at the illustration below.

ACTIVITY I: Throw me!

Materials:
 Ball or Paper ball
 Meter stick or ruler

Procedure:
1. Mark you reference point and hold the ball behind the line.

2. Throw the ball.

3. Using a meter stick, measure the distance from reference point to

the position where the ball stopped.

Fill out the table board below

ACTIVITY II: Picture A shows a classroom while picture B shows the same
classroom after a day. Encircle three objects that were moved from their
original location.

2. Describe the present location of the three objects you encircle in step 1. Write
you answer in the table. Do it in different paper.

A. Direction: Write True if the statement is correct and False if not. Write your
answer in separate paper.
1. An object has moved if it is away from its reference point.
2. A distance from the reference point to a place where the object stops tells that
the object has moved.
3. One can tell that the object has moved if it stands still in place.
4. It is important to know the location of an object before we try it to move and
after pushing or pulling it.
5. Pushing and pulling make the objects move.

B. Direction: Describe the following object reference point and after it has
move. Write your answer in the different paper.

What I Need to Remember

In describing the location of the object after it has moved. Always remember
you must first be able to tell exactly where it is positioned. Describing exact
position entails two ideas: describing how far the object is from the point of
reference and describing its direction relative to that point of reference.
