Lesson 1 Introduction to Motion in Terms of

Distance and Time

Let’s think!

Motion is the change in position with respect to time caused

by a force. A Force can be push or pull. A motion can be classified as linear
motion or straight line motion and non-linear or curvilinear motion.
Reference point is a fixed object used to determine the position of an
object. Reference point

Linear motion

Non-Linear motion

Let’s Try!

Activity #1
Directions: Identify what kind of motion is given below. Write Linear or
Non-Linear.
______1. Falling of a ball.
______2. Car running in a curve road.
______3. Spinning of a Globe.
______4. Walking along the hallway.
______5. Roller coaster ride.
 Let’s do this!

Directions: Read the instructions carefully to finish the activity. Answer the
questions that follow.
Motion in Daily Life
Objectives:
1. Identify the kinds of motion.
2. Demonstrate the effect of force in motion based on the action taken.
3. Realize the motion in daily life.
Materials:
Linear Motion Non-Linear Motion
- crumpled paper - yarn
- marker - small rock
- bond paper
Instructions for Linear motion:
1. Using a marker to mark a place in the bond paper as your reference point.
2. Blow and flick the paper through the bond paper. See the difference in the
distance of the paper.
3. Write your observation in the boxes below.
Action Observations
Blow

Flick

Instructions for Non-Linear motion:

1. Knot the end of the yarn to the rock.
2. While holding the other end of the yarn, blow and flick the rock. See the
difference in the swing.
3. Write your observation in the boxes below.
Action Observations
Blow

Flick

Guide Questions:
1. What is linear motion? What is Non-Linear motion?
2. What happened to the paper and to the rock after blowing?
3. What happened to the paper and rock after flickering?
4. Which action creates a larger motion? Smaller motion?
5. What is the effect of force in the motion?
 Let’s do more!

Directions: Illustrate yourself walking from your house to the school. Draw yourself in motion
and your reference point. Use red ballpen for linear motion and blue ballpen for non-linear
motion.

using standard units.

Let’s do this!

Directions: Read the instructions carefully to finish the activity. Answer the
questions that follow.
Motion in Daily Life
Objectives:
1. Identify the kind of motion
2. Measure the change in position (distance traveled) over a period of time.
3. Realize the motion in daily life.

Materials:
- Flaglets with stand - meter stick
- Basketball
- Paperball
- timer

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUP 1

1. Place your flag 10 meters in distance from your reference point to
the Flaglet.
2. Kick the basketball once and make it reach up to the flag.
3. Measure the time that the basketball traveled from the reference
point to the flag.
4. Compute for the speed that the basketball made to reach the end
point.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUP 2

1. Place your flag 10 meters in distance from your reference point to
the Flaglet.
2. Continuesly blow the paperball and make it reach up to the flag.
3. Measure the time that the basketball traveled from the reference
point to the flag.
4. Compute for the speed that the basketball made to reach the end
point.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUP 3
1. Place your flag 20 meters in distance from your reference point to
the Flaglet.
2. Walk until you reach up to the flag.
3. Measure the time that the basketball traveled from the reference
point to the flag.
4. Compute for the speed that the basketball made to reach the end
point.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUP 4

1. Place your flag 20 meters in distance from your reference point to
the Flaglet.
2. Run until you make it reach up to the flag.
3. Measure the time that the basketball traveled from the reference
point to the flag.
4. Compute for the speed that the basketball made to reach the end
point.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. What is the speed you got from the activity?
2. What kind of motion you did on the acitivty? Linear or Non-Linear?
3. What is the importance of using appropriate tools in measuring
distance and time?
4. Why is the motion of an object important? Cite 1 example.

Let’s check your idea!

REFELECTION: This is to give importance and life engagement of the lesson

to the pupils.
Directions: Write two ideas you learned from the lesson. What is motion?
Why is knowing motion of an object important?
