PROCEDURE
A. Preliminary Activities
1. CHECKING OF
ATTENDANCE
2. REVIEW 5 mins.
(ELICIT)
1. Start the lesson reviewing the Newton’s Second Law of Acceleration
Force = mass x acceleration
State the Second Law of Motion by Completing this paragraph.

The Law of Acceleration

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is
(directly/inversely) proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the
 (same/opposite) direction as the net force, and (directly/inversely)
proportional to the (mass/weight) of the object.
Take note: The larger the force applied on an object, the larger its
acceleration.
2. Review about Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM)
Let students look at the pictures shown on their screen, let them
name each pictures being projected.
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time. It is a
vector quantity having both magnitude and direction. Acceleration of
vehicles usually changes from time to time. A vehicle may speed up as it
travels to highways or slow down as it approaches an intersection. It should
also have when the stoplight is red and eventually accelerate when the light
turns green. We can say that most type of acceleration that we observed is
not constant or non-uniform due to these factors.
When you are riding a vehicle you can say that speeds up or slows down
based on its speedometer. A speedometer indicates the speed of a vehicle.
It is usually combined with a device known as odometer that records the
distance travel.

3. MOTIVATION 10 mins.
(ENGAGE)
Presentation of the lesson Assume that you are riding a vehicle and observed these speedometer
readings:
Elapsed Time Reading on the Speedometer
After 1 minute 30 km/h
After 2 minutes 31 km/h
After 3 minutes 32 km/h
What can you say about the readings on the speedometer during each
minute?
What can you infer from the data in the table?
*These means that vehicles speeds up. Every minute there is 1 km/h
increase on the speed of the vehicle. The increased for every minute is
constant therefore; we can say that the vehicle has Uniform Acceleration.
These vehicle exhibits a uniform or constant acceleration. It is a type of
motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in
every equal time period.

In Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM), the value of the

acceleration is constant. It does not change. The velocity changes but
at a constant rate. An object with zero acceleration is said to be in
uniform motion. An object in uniformly accelerated motion has non-
zero but constant acceleration. Acceleration represents how velocity
changes with time; velocity represents how position changes with
time.

Toss coin, climbing on a stair and going downstairs are due to gravity.
Objects at a free-fall also exhibit Uniformly Accelerated Motion. The
acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2 neglecting air resistance. It is a
constant acceleration for all falling bodies, regardless of their mass and
weight.

4. ACTIVITY 20 mins.
(EXPLORE)
 Analyze each scenario. Identify if it exhibits Uniformly Accelerated
Motion of not.
1. A bike at rest – not UAM
2. A fruit dropping from a tree – UAM
3. A boy holding a book – not UAM
4. Rocks falling from a cliff – UAM
5. A truck running with a constant acceleration – UAM

5. ANALYSIS 10 mins.
(EXPLAIN)
Show videos and photos of a man diving on a diving board of a swimming
pool. *The motion of a man as it dives into the water is moving along a curve
path due to a natural force called gravitational force or gravity. Gravity is a
natural force that causes object to fall towards the earth. Hence, the
acceleration due to the gravity is always directed downwards with this, the
motion of a man undergoes Projectile Motion (a form of motion where an
object moves in a curve path). The object exhibits projectile motion is called
projectile. The curved-liked path undertaken by a projectile is called,
Trajectory.
6. APPLICATION 5 mins.
(ELABORATE) A Sepak Takraw player kicking a rattan ball is a good example. What is
the projectile (The rattan ball) in this scenario? How do you describe
its trajectory? The rattan ball is travelling on a curved path (parabolic
trajectory motion). Hence projectile motion consists of a horizontal
motion and a vertical motion working independently.

7. EVALUATION 5 mins.
(EVALUATE)
Learners shared their insights and ideas or opinions about the lesson
through their group chats or online class via zoom or Google meet.
8. ASSIGNMENT 5 mins.
(EXTEND)
Give examples of activities that can demonstrate the scientific
principles discussed.
