IV. Learning Activities

1. Engagement

A. Motivation:
Four Pics One Word. Study the relationships of the four pictures below. Identify the
word that could describe the four pictures. Write your answers in the boxes below.

f r i C t i o n

B. Have the pupils rub their hands for 10 seconds. Tell the pupils that what they do
produced friction.
2. Exploration

A. Preparatory Activity:
Say: Let us learn more about friction.
 Setting standards in watching a video clip.
 .Reading of questions to be answered after watching a video clip.
Questions:
1. What is friction?
2. What causes friction?
 Watching a video clip

B. Group Activity

Activity: Moving in Different Surfaces

Let’s find out: How does friction affects the motion of objects?

Let’s use these materials:

Toy cars, wax paper, sand paper, blocks of wood.

Let’s do it this way:

1.Set the ramp with one side higher.
2. Cover one side with wax paper. This is your smooth surface.
3. Cover the other side with sand paper. This is your rough surface.
4. Have the pupils roll the toy car down the ramp.

Let’s write down our observations.

1. In which surface does the toy car move faster? Why?
2. Which surface registered a greater friction? Why?
3. How does friction affect the motion of objects?

3. Explanation
A. Reporting of group outputs.
B. Analysis and discussion of pupils’ outputs

4. Elaboration

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces sticking, touching or
rubbing together. Air friction affects the motion of falling objects by acting against the force
of gravity. Friction is a force that resists or opposes the relative sliding movement of surfaces
in contact with one another. Friction is greater on rough surface. It slows down the movement
of cbjects.

Generalization:
1. What is friction?
2. Complete the web on what you know about friction.
 FRICTION

Application:
A. Act out different activities that involve friction.

Group I- Activities in school

Group II- Activities at home
Group III- Activities in the playground

B. Guided Practice: Distribute meta cards with phrases and sentences. Say
TRUE if it describes friction and FALSE if not.
_______1. Friction is a force.
_______2. Friction is produced by rubbing or touching two surfaces.
_______3. Friction is energy stored.
_______4 Friction is greater on rough surfaces.
_______5.Friction is produced when object is in contact with each other.
_______6. Lighted candle produce friction.
_______7.Friction is produced by moving objects.
_______8.Friction is much present on rocky or rough road`
_______9.Heat is produced by friction.
_______10.It is easier to pull object with less friction.

C. Ask: How does friction affect our daily activities.
