Integration of PVMGO: At this point, students are introduced into introductory quantitative
concepts, letting them to employ the analytical skill to solve problems.

III. Procedure
A. Engagement
1. Ask the students if they know the meaning of work. Emphasize to them that the
meaning /definition of work and the one that we use in Science are quite different from each
other.
Simple Demonstration:
Ask three students to demonstrate in the class the following actions/tasks:
a. Student 1 pushes the wall.
b. Student 2 pulls a chair from one end of the room to the other end.
c. Student 3 pulls a chair then return it to its original place.

From the three demonstrations, which activity showed that work is done or no work
done? Explain.
2. Pictures showing a man doing his jump shot and a coach standing and giving
instructions to the players will be shown. Let the students choose who is more powerful between
the player and the coach. Then have them justify their answers.

 3. The students will classify the pictures of a beggar, a triathlete, a sick person, a soccer
player, an elderly, and a swimmer into two groups based on their differences.

B. Exploration
Students will tell whether the following situations show examples of work. Identify the
one doing the work and on which object the work is done.
1. A girl pulling her cart.
2. A man lifting a box to be placed on the table.
3. A girl carrying a bag walking down a street.
4. A mango fruit falling from a branch.

C. Explanation
The student will be asked by the teacher of the following questions:
1. Why is carrying a sack of rice on the shoulder not considered work in science?
2. Who is more efficient between the employees who did the same work but at different lengths
of time, the one who finished the work within a shorter time or the one who did it over a longer
period? Why?
3. Which is more important in life, potential energy or kinetic energy? Why?

D. Elaboration
Let the students explain the meaning of the line “with great power comes great
responsibility.” Then let them relate the meaning of the line to the concept of mechanical power.
Then, the students will solve the following word problems:
1. A 2-kg block is held 1.0m above the floor for 50s. The work done is .
2. The work done in lifting a 30-kg set of bricks to a height of 20m is .
3. The work done in lifting a 30-kg set of bricks to a height of 20m is .
4. A 40-kg boy who runs up a 5.0m higher hill in 7s has a power output of .
5. A 100-n piano is moved 20m across a floor by a horizontal force of 35 N. Find the
coefficient of the friction. What happens to the energy expanded?

IV. Evaluation

Directions: Calculate the work, power or energy in the given problems.

1. If a small motor does 520. J of work to move a toy car 260. m, what force does it exert?
2. A 75.0 kg man pushes on a 5.0 x 105 ton wall for 250 s but it does not move. How much
work does he do on the wall? (2000 lb = 1 ton; 0.454 kg = 1 lb)
3. How much power does it take to lift 30.0 N 10.0 m high in 5.00 s?
4. You move a 25 N object 5.0 meters. How much work did you do?
5. An 80 N force has been applied to a block and move it 20m along the direction of the
force. How much work has been done to the block?
6. How much work is required to lift a 360 kilogram piano to a window whose height is 10
meters from the ground?
7. Calculate the work done by a 47 N force pushing a 0.025 kg pencil 0.25 m against a
force of 23 N.
8. A 10.0 kg rock is at the top of a 20.0 m. tall hill. How much potential energy does it
have?
9. An 8.0 kg cat is running 4.0 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?
10. A 25 N object is 3.0 meters up. How much potential energy does it have?

V. Assignment

1. Calculate the work done and the power developed when you go to an upper storey of a
building using the stairs. Think of your body mass and the acceleration due to gravity as the
force.
2. Explain how work is related to power.
