A. ACTIVITY 10 minutes The class is divided into 3 groups. Each group is
given one picture and tell whether the situation
shown in the picture represents work or not.
Then let 1 representative of the group explain.
(See attachment for each picture.)

Group 1: A girl pushing a chair. (Work is done if

the object you push moves a distance in the
direction towards which you are pushing it.)
Group 2: A boy pushing a wall. (No work is done
if the force you exert does not make the object
 move.)
Group 3: A waiter carrying a tray. (No work is
done if the force you exert does not make the
object move in the same direction as the force
you exerted.)
B. ANALYSIS 5 minutes Ask these questions:
1. What is work according to Physics?
Energy? Power?
(In Physics, work is an abstract idea
related to energy. Work is said to be
done when a force applied to an object
moves that object.
Energy is the capacity to do work.
Power can be defined as the rate at
which work is done.)
2. How do work and energy related?
(Work can be defined as the measure of
energy change that occurs on an object,
as a result of a force applied in the
direction or opposite direction to the
motion of the object. Thus, work would
happen when a force is applied. And this
force is possible only when there is
energy. In essence, without energy, no
work can be done.)
C. ABSTRACTION 15 minutes Calculating Work
Work is done when the force (F) applied to the
object causes the object to have displacement
(d) in the same direction as the force applied.
The symbol for work is a capital (W). The work
done by a force can be calculated as:
W = Fd
unit of force = kg m/s2 or newton, N
Hence the unit for Work, W
W = Fd
unit of work = unit of force x unit of
displacement
unit of work = Nm
unit of work = Nm or joules, J
The unit, joule (J) is named after the English
Physicist James Prescott Joule. This is also a unit
of energy. One (1) joule is equal to the work
done or energy expended in applying a force of
one newton through a distance of one meter.
However, the equation can only be used if the
force is applied horizontally (pushed across the
 floor or ground) or vertically (lifted above).
The teacher presents one word problem on the
board and let the students apply the formula of
work.

Problem: Suppose a woman is pushing a grocery

cart with a 500 Newton force along the 7 meters
aisle, how much work is done in pushing the cart
from one end of the aisle to the other?
Solution: W = Fd
= 500 N x 7 m
= 3500 Nm
W = 3500 J
D. APPLICATION 10 minutes With the same groupings, each group will
answer one word problem. (See attachment for
the answers.)

Group 1: What is the work done on a 45 kg box

that is being pushed with a 100 N
force for 5 m?
Group 2: A book of mass 1 kg is on the floor. If
the book is lifted from the floor to the
top shelf which is 2 meters from the
floor, how much work is done on the
book?
Group 3: A force of 15 N is used to push a box
along the floor a distance of 3 meters.
How much work was done?
E. Assessment 10 minutes Ask the students to get ¼ sheet of paper and
answer the questions below:

I. Identification:
1. It is said to be done when a force applied to
an object moves that object.
2. The capacity to do work.
3. It is the rate at which work is done.
4. What is the unit of force?
5. What is the unit of work?
II. Word Problem:
A box weighing 3.0 Newton is lifted 2
meters. How much work was done?

III. Reflection:

A. No. of learners who achieve 80%: ________

B. No. of Learners who require additional activities for remediation: ________
C. Did the remedial lessons work? ________
D. No. of learners who have caught up the lesson: ________
E. No. of learners who continue to require remediation: _______________
F. Which of my teaching strategies worked well? Why did this work?
___________________________________________________________________
G. What difficulties did I encounter which my principal or supervisor help me solve?
___________________________________________________________________
H. What innovation or localized materials did I use/discover which I wish to share
with another teacher?

(Attachment for Students’ Application)

Group 1: What is the work done on a 45kg box that is being pushed with a 100 N force for 5
m?
Solution: W = Fd
= 100 N x 5 m
= 500 N·m or 500 J

Group 2: A book of mass 1 kg is on the floor. If the book is lifted from the floor to the top
shelf which is 2 meters from the floor, how much work is done on the book?
Solution: W = Fd
W = mgh
= 1 kg (9.8 m/s2) (2 m)
= 19.6 N·m or 19.6 J

Group 3: A force of 15 N is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How
much work was done?
Solution: W = Fd
= 15 N x 3 m
= 45 N·m or 45 J

Answer Key to Assessment

A.
1. Work
2. Energy
3. Power

5. Joule

B. Solution: W = Fd
= 3.0 N x 2 m
= 6.0 N·m or 6.0 J
