Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 8

Objective: State the Law of Inertia.

Learning across the curriculum:

- Math: Calculate the force required to overcome inertia in different scenarios.

- Physical Education: Discuss the role of inertia in sports activities.

- Social Studies: Explore the historical development of the concept of inertia.

Elicit:

- Ask students if they have heard of the term "inertia" and what they understand
about it.

- Translate: Tanungin ang mga mag-aaral kung nakarinig na sila ng salitang "inertia"
at kung ano ang kanilang nalalaman tungkol dito.

Engage:

1. Show a video clip of a car suddenly stopping and the passengers being thrown
forward.

2. Conduct a demonstration of two objects of different masses being pushed with the
force, showing how the lighter object moves further.

3. Share a real-life example of inertia, such as a ball rolling down a hill.

- Translate:

1. Ipakita ang isang video clip ng isang kotse na biglang huminto at ang mga
pasahero ay naitulak pataas.

2. Magpatupad ng isang pagpapakita ng dalawang bagay na may iba't ibang masa

na itinulak gamit ang parehong lakas, na nagpapakita kung paano gumalaw ang mas
magaang bagay nang mas malayo.

3. Ibahagi ang isang tunay na halimbawa ng inertia, tulad ng isang bola na

umaandar pababa ng isang burol.

Activity 1: Inertia and Mass

Materials: Various objects of different masses, force meter, measuring tape

Instructions:

1. Divide the class into groups.

2. Provide each group with different objects of varying masses.

3. Instruct the groups to measure the mass of each object and record the data.

4. Ask the groups to apply the same force to each object and observe the motion.

5. Discuss the relationship between mass and inertia based on their observations.

Rubrics:

- Accuracy of mass measurements (5 points)

- Observation and understanding of the relationship between mass and inertia (10
points)

Assessment Questions:

1. How does the mass of an object affect its inertia?

2. Why do objects with greater mass require more force to overcome their inertia?

Activity 2: Inertia and Motion

Materials: Toy cars, ramp, stopwatch

Instructions:

1. Set up a ramp and place a toy car at the top.

2. Ask the students to release the car and measure the time it takes to reach the
bottom.

3. Repeat the experiment with different toy cars of varying masses.

4. Compare the time taken for each car to reach the bottom and discuss the
relationship between mass, inertia, and motion.

Rub:

- Accuracy of time measurements (5 points)

- Analysis and explanation of the relationship between mass, inertia, and motion (10
points)

Assessment Questions:

1. How does inertia affect the motion of an object?

2. Why do objects with greater mass require more time to reach the bottom of the
ramp?

Activity 3: Inertia in Daily Life

Materials: Various objects, whiteboard or chart paper, markers

Instructions:

1. Ask students to identify objects in their daily lives that demonstrate inertia.

2. Divide the class into small groups and assign each group a specific object.

3. Instruct the groups to create a poster or presentation explaining the concept of

inertia using their assigned object as an example.

4. Each group will present their work to the class and facilitate a discussion.
Rubrics:

- Identification and explanation of the object's inertia (5 points)

- Presentation quality and clarity of explanation (10 points)

Assessment Questions:

1. Give an example of inertia in your daily life.

2. How does understanding the concept of inertia help explain certain phenomena?

Explain:

1. Present a slideshow explaining the Law of Inertia, providing examples and

illustrations.

2. Conduct a class discussion where students can ask questions and clarify their
understanding.

- Translate:

1. Ipakita ang isang slideshow na nagpapaliwanag sa Batas ng Inertia, nagbibigay

ng mga halimbawa at mga ilustrasyon.

2. Magpatupad ng isang talakayan sa klase kung saan maaaring magtanong ang

mga mag-aaral at linawin ang kanilang pang-unawa.

Elaborate:
1. Ask students to research and present on the application of the Law of Inertia in a
specific sport or physical activity.

2. Conduct a debate where students argue for or against the importance of

considering inertia in engineering design.

- Translate:

1. Hilingin sa mga mag-aaral na mag-research at mag-presenta tungkol sa

aplikasyon ng Batas ng Inertia sa isang partikular na isport o pisikal na aktibidad.

2. Magpatupad ng is debate kung saan ang mga mag-aaral ay magtatalo para o

laban sa kahalagahan ng pag-iisip sa inertia sa disenyo ng engineering.
Evaluate:

1. Quizzes or short tests on the Law of Inertia.

2. Group or individual projects where students design an experiment to demonstrate

inertia.

- Translate:

1. Mga pagsusulit o maikling pagsusulit tungkol sa Batas ng Inertia.

2. Mga proyekto ng grupo o indibidwal kung saan ang mga mag-aaral ay magdidisen
ng isang eksperimento upang ipakita ang inertia.

Extend:

Provide additional resources, such as videos and articles, for students to further
explore the concept of inertia.

Assignment:

Write a reflection paper discussing the importance of understanding the Law of

Inertia in everyday life. Provide specific examples to support your ideas.

- Translate:

Sumulat ng papel na naglalahad ng kahalagahan ng pag-unawa sa Batas ng Inertia

sa pang-araw-araw na buhay. Magbigay ng mga partikular na halimbawa upang
suportahan ang iyong mga ideya.
