Teacher’s Name: Mr. Paul Victor L. Tamuria
1. STRAND
Strand 4: Forces and Motion

2. STANDARD
Standard Sc4.2: Understanding of characteristics and various types of motion of natural objects;
investigative process for seeking knowledge and scientific mind; and communication of acquired
knowledge for useful purposes

3. STUDENTS’ COMPETENCIES/INDICATORS
a. Experiment and explain differences between static, friction and forces, and apply the knowledge
gained for useful purposes.
b. Experiment and explain moment of forces, and apply the knowledge gained for useful purposes.
c. Observe and explain motions of objects in a straight line and in curves.

4. LEARNING OUTCOMES
4.1 Knowledge
4.1.1 Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance and displacement.
4.1.2 Differentiate quantities in terms of magnitude and direction.

4.2 Process
4.2.1 Demonstrate distance and displacement through a visual/graphical representation.

4.3 Attributes
4.3.1 Appreciate the importance of studying distance and displacement and how they
affect things around us.

5. SUBJECT MATTER
5.1 Topic: Force and Motion
5.2 Sub – topics: Distance and Displacement

6. PROCEDURES
6.1 Daily Routine
Cleanliness and orderliness of the classroom
Greetings
Checking of attendance

6.2 Warm up/Lead in

6.2.1 Science Word Drill
 Show some jumbled letters and ask the students to guess the words.
 Post a letter puzzle on the board and let the students fill in the puzzle.

6.2.2 Motivation
Page 1 of 3
  Ask the students regarding their travel or vacation experiences and relate it to motion.

6.2.3 Review
 Review on prior knowledge related to motion and forces like the difference between
scalar and vector quantities and the units of force and motions.

6.3 Presentation
6.3.1 Discussion
The teacher will introduce the concept of distance and displacement using PowerPoint
presentation and will do an interactive discussion and will ask the students the following
guide questions:
 What is distance?
 What is displacement?
 How do we determine distance?
 How do we determine displacement?
 How do you compute for final displacement?
 Introduce the Pythagorean theorem: c2=b2+a2
 in relation to displacement.

 Display a figure shown above and let the students answer the following
questions:
 How far did the dog travel from its point of origin to its 1st
destination? In what direction?
 How far did the dog travel from its 1st destination to its 2nd
destination? In what direction?
 How far did the dog travel from its 2nd destination to its 3rd and final
destination? In what direction?
 What is the total length traveled by the dog from its point of origin to
its final destination?
 What is the shortest distance of the dog relative to its points of origin?

6.3.2 Group Activity

The students will be grouped to do the activity about:
 Activity 1 – Distance and Displacement

6.3.3 Conclusion
 In science, motion is a change of an object relative to its point of reference. This
change in position can be measured in two ways; distance and displacement
 Distance refers to the length of the entire path that the object traveled; while
displacement is the distance between the object’s point of origin and its point of
destination regardless of the path it took to get to that destination.
 Compare and contrast distance and displacement in a table format.

7. EVALUATION
7.1 Question and Answer Drill
To check students understanding, the teacher will ask random questions as the lesson
progresses. This includes recitation, board work, and during the group activity.

7.2 Student Worksheet

Worksheets can be answered individually or by group. Answers to the guide questions
during the group activity will serve as the answer to the worksheet for the day.

7.3 Vocabulary
The following words are consistently used all throughout the lesson:
Distance - the length of the entire path that the object traveled
Displacement - the distance between the object’s point of origin and its point of destination
regardless of the path it took to get to that destination.

7.4 Homework
In your assignment notebook, define the following:
1. Speed
2. Velocity

8. MATERIALS
8.1 Activity sheet
8.2 Power point presentation
8.3 Worksheet
8.4 Diagrams/models
