Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the General Physics 1 - Grade12 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module
on Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motions, Periodic Motion & Simple Harmonic Motion!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
Welcome to the General Physics1 - Grade12 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module
on Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motions, Periodic Motion & Simple Harmonic Motion!
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
