The module is about the Force and Motion, wherein after studying and
understanding the lesson, the learners are expected to:
➢ Describe the effects of the amount of force on the movement of an object

What changes took place after I have applied force on the material?
1. Cutting paper ______________ 4. Tearing box _______________
2. Breaking glass ______________ 5. Slicing vegetables _______________
3. Bounding chalk ______________

Lesson 3 Effect of Force in Matter (Movement of an Object)

The force applied on an object affect the movement of an object. Example:

1.Push and Go — The toy car travelled farther when the force
applied was stronger. It travelled nearer when lesser force was
applied to it.

2.Hang and Pull — The spring was pulled down when a


padlock was hung to it. The spring is pulled as more padlocks
are hanged into it

What you need:


• small plastic toy car
• meter stick
• spring balance
• 3 identical padlocks

Activity Time!

Push and Go
1. Select a flat surface on the classroom floor.
2. Mark a starting point on the floor. Gently push the toy car with your hand. Observe
how far it moved. Measure the distance that it travelled using a meter stick. Make a
similar table below on your notebook and record your observation.
3. Bring the toy car back to the starting point and repeat step 2, but this time, push the
toy car with a stronger force. Observe how far it travelled. Measure the distance it
covered. Record your observations on your data table.
4. Repeat step 3 for three more times with varying forces applied on the toy car. You
can vary the force with the help of different objects. Record your observations in your
data table.

Guide Questions:
1. How do you compare the distance travelled by the toy cars when pushed by the
weakest force and when pushed by the strongest force?
2. Which degree of force applied made the toy car travelled the farthest? nearest?
3. What affected the distance travelled by the toy car?

Activity Time!
Hang and Pull
1. Hang a padlock on a spring balance. Measure the force exerted by the padlock on
the spring. Record your observation in your notebook in a table similar to the one below.
2. Add another padlock to the spring balance and take note of the force exerted by the
two padlocks. Record your observation in your data table.
3. Add a third padlock to the spring balance. Measure the force exerted by the padlocks
on the spring balance. Record your observations in your data table.

Guide Questions:
1. What did you observe with the spring balance when you hanged a padlock on it?
2. What was the effect on the spring balance as you add more padlocks?
3. Predict what will happen if you keep on adding more padlocks to the spring balance?

The force applied on an object affects the object movement. Objects with
lesser mass requires lesser force for it to move it to some distance while
objects with greater mass require greater or stronger force to move it
longer distance.

Just for Fun!


Material : 3 identical small cars
1. Look for a flat and smooth surface in your house.
2. Mark a starting point and finish line on a surface. Measured at least 2 meter
distance.
3. From the starting point, place the toys cars down.
4. From the starting point blow the car toys up to the finish line. Do not hold the toy
car.
5. Once the toy car reaches the finish line, do the same on the second and third
car.
6. Play the game several times.

Answer the following question:


1. Was it easy to blow the car up to the finish line?
2. What strategies did you use to be able to make it to the finish line fast.
3. Did your body build help to you reach the finish line fast? How?
