Objectives
At the end of the discussion at least 75% of the
students with at least 75% proficiency must be
able to:
1. define projectile motion;
2. describe the movement of a projectile in a
parabolic path and;
3. explain the relationship between horizontal

Remember: the velocity of projectile at a

maximum point in y-axis is 0 m/s2.
C. Post-activity
Draw an object under projectile motion on a
manila paper. Label and describe your work.
For example:

D. Evaluation
Identify the following terms.
1. Motion of a body in a parabolic path under
the influence of gravity.
2. Path taken by a projectile.
3. Horizontal distance traveled by a projectile.
4. Vertical velocity at maximum height of a
parabolic path.
5. Angle at which maximum range is achieved.
