Content: Lesson 1 : Work , Energy , and Power
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
A . Define what is work and power
B . Understand what is mechanical energy
C. Understand kinetic and potential energy
II. SUBJECT MATTER
b. Motivation:
Playing a game of bamboozle and show a video of a work in physics and ask for their thoughts on it.
c. Discussion
Work, in physics, measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least
part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement.
The standard unit for work is the joule (J). The joule is the same as a newton-meter where the newton is the force and the meter is
the distance.
Work= Fd
Energy
the capacity of doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms. Potential
energy and kinetic energy are two forms of energy.
The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that one is the energy of what can be and one is the energy of what is. In other
words, potential energy is stationary, with stored energy to be released; kinetic energy is energy in motion, actively using energy for movement.
Power
The amount of work applied to an object per unit of time and the rate of doing work.
Power = work
time
The standard metric unit of power is the Watt
e. Integration/Across Discipline:
f. Valuing/ Reflection:
How is work and power used in everyday life?
Give examples of how we use energy in our daily lives?
How do we use power in our lives?
g. Synthesis/Lesson
V. .EVALUATION
