III. PROCEDURE

A. ENGAGEMENT

1. Ask the pupils to move a chair. Ask them the following questions.
a. Will the chair move if you push it? How about if you pull it?
b. Why do you think your chair moved when you pushed it?
How about when you pulled it?
c. Based on this activity, how will you describe force?
d. Can you cite other examples/situations when force is applied?

2. Introduce the new lesson through an activity.

Say: “Let us do an activity that will help you understand the
effects of force on the shape of an object.”

3. Introduce the new lesson by asking:

“Why do you think the force applied causes a change in size, shape,
and movement of an object? Entertain all answers.

4. Say: We will find out whose answers are correct in our succeeding
activities. Let us do an activity that will help you understand
the effects of force on the shape of an object.

B. EXPLORATION
a. Group the pupils.
b. Set norms in performing the activities.
1. Observe the materials given in Column A.
2. Change the shape of materials found in Column A by applying force.
 3. Fill out column B with what you did to change the shape of materials.
4. Fill out column C with changes that took place after you have applied force on
the materials.

Column A Column B Column C

Materials What I did to change the shape of What changes took place after I
the materials applied force on the materials
1. Rubber
band
2. paper
3. sponge
4. plastic ruler
5. bread
C. EXPLANATION
1. Let the pupils report their output by group.
2. Ask the pupils to explain their group output.
3. Discuss the activity using the following guide questions:
a. What did you apply when you hammer, bend, stretch or crumple an object?
b. What happened to an object when force is applied on an object? Why?
c. From what your experienced, what force can do?
4. Sum up the lesson by completing the sentence below:
When force is applied on an object, ____________________________

D. ELABORATION

The shape of an object changes when force is applied on it. Pushing, pulling, pounding
compressing, bending twisting, tearing, stretching or squeezing are some ways of changing
the shape of an object.
Say: Jimmy is taller than his brother. He used his brother’s t-shirt without asking permission. It
partly fits him. He stretched the shirt down to his waist. What do you think would happen to the t-
shirt?

IV. EVALUATION

1. Place the following materials on the table. Ask them to complete the chart.
Materials Can you change the shape? How
1. noodles
2. chocolate bar
3. cartolina strip
4. toothpaste tube
5. chalk
6. paper clip
7. plastic straw
8. candy wrapper
9. toothpick
10. scrunchie
IV. ASSIGNMENT
Cite examples/situations when the force applied changed the shape of an object.
