A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
Before we start our class, please stand for our Angel of God, my
prayer. Ivy, please lead the prayer. guardian dear,
to whom God's love
commits me here,
ever this day (or night) be
at my side,
to light and guard, to rule
and guide.
Amen.
2. Greetings
Good afternoon, my dear students! How are you Good afternoon, teacher!
today? We’re doing good
I’m glad that everyone is doing fine today! teacher!

3. Attendance
Who is absent this evening, class? None, teacher.
Very good! No one is absent today.

4. Setting of Standards
Before we start our class today, what does a good
student do during the discussion? Sit down properly.
Listen carefully.
Do not talk with our
seatmates.
Participate in the class.
 Can I expect these from you, my dear students? Raise our hands if we
have questions.

B. Review
Who among you here can still remember our last
discussion at the last meeting?
Very good! To test if you have truly learned about We discussed the
our topic last meeting. I have here a list of measurements and
conversion factors, all you must do is to convert conversion of units
them according to their corresponding length, mass, teacher.

I need volunteers to come to the board and answer, I

need 8 students.

Length
1 meter= 1.0936 yards
1 inch= 2.54 centimeters
mile
Mass The students will answer

What is a Motion? world scenarios.
 - Motion is the movement of one object to another.
- It is the change in position of an object over time.
Kinematics
- The word “kinematics” comes from a Greek term
meaning motion and is related to other English
words such as “cinema” (movies) and
“kinesiology”. Kinesiology is the study of the
mechanics of motion with respect to human
anatomy.
- a branch of physics that deals with the motion of
a body or system without reference to force and
mass.

Remember kids, that every object is in motion

everywhere we look. All motion is relative to
something, whether it is a fixed point or a group of
fixed points.

To describe an object's motion, we need to

understand its position relative to a reference frame,
often Earth, and how it changes as it moves in that
frame.
Position and velocity video clip
https://youtu.be/s4sdXMbiu10?si=Xrhxj9TharYXumPb
Position and Velocity
- Motion is about knowing where things are and
how they move. The ideas of position, speed, and
acceleration apply to cars, bicycles, and many
other familiar things around you.

The position variable

- Position is a variable. The position of the car is
where it is relative to where it started.
- Position and distance are similar but not the
same. Both use units of length. However,
position is given relative to an origin. The origin
is the place where position = 0.

Forward and backward

- Position is different. Like distance, position is

measured in units of length (meters, inches, etc.).
The difference is that you can be in front of the
origin or behind it.
- Positive numbers are for positions to the right (in
front) of the origin. Negative numbers are for
 positions to the left (or behind) the origin.

Vectors and Scalar video link:

Video link: https://youtu.be/DvOdRfQ-pMU?
si=tFvypzc7QxhH2mi6

Vectors
- Speed and velocity are vectors that can be
positive or negative, with speed being positive
when moving forward and negative when
moving backward. In science, speed is a positive
number value, while velocity is a vector with a
positive or negative sign, indicating direction.

- In conversation you might use “speed” and

“velocity” to mean the same thing. Speed is a
positive number value that tells you how many
meters you go each second (or miles each hour).
Velocity is speed and a positive or negative sign,
or other information that tells whether you are
going forward or backward.

Distance
- Path length is the total distance traveled,
measured in meters, kilometers, or miles, without
direction or sign.

Scalar VS Vector
- a quantity that has both direction and magnitude,
- examples are force, velocity, displacement,
acceleration
- usually represented by an arrow

Graphs of Motion

si=nas_xpHM54ecTHRP

- Motion graphs are an important tool used to

show the relationships between position, speed,
and time.
- A graph can show the location and speed of a
storm at different points in time. The graph can
be used to help predict the path of the storm and
the time when it will reach a certain location.
Graphs show relationships between variables
- A graph is a useful tool for demonstrating a
relationship between two variables, as it shows
the relationship between the two variables
through a sloped curve on the y and x axes.
- The relationship between variables can be strong,
weak, or no relationship at all. Strong
relationships involve large changes in one
variable causing similar changes in another,
while weak relationships result in scattered dots.

Reading a graph
- A graph is a simple form of a model. Remember,
a model is a relationship that connects two or
more variables. Scientists use models to make
and test predictions so that they can get the
answers.
1. Activity
In connection with our activity, I will group you
into 3 groups. Each group will be assigned to the
different topics that we have discussed today. I
will give you manila paper and a filt tip pen to
write your answers. You only have 5 minutes to
brainstorm and write your answers and another 2
minutes to discuss in front. Understand class? Yes, teacher!

Group 1: Assigned to make a concept map about what is a Rubrics for the
victor. reporting

Group 2: Assigned to create a real-life situation where there

is a motion and vectors involved in the scenario.

Group 3: Assigned to make a Venn Diagram about the

similarities and differences of victors and scalars.

Everyone performed well today! Let us give 1,2,3 clap(3x)

ourselves a fireworks clap, class! 1,2,3 stomp(3x) wosh,
wosh

2. Analysis
Is everyone cooperating with their groups? Yes, teacher.
 Remember that cooperation is very important for
you to finish your task easily and fast. Always
remember that class.
I have a few questions to ask for you.

Guide question:
1. In your understanding what is a victor? A vector is a quantity that
has both magnitude and
direction, like a force or
velocity.
2. Differentiate vectors and scalar. And their Vectors have both
similarities. magnitude and direction,
while scalars only have
magnitude. Their
similarity is that they both
represent physical
quantities.
3. Give me examples of a motion in real-life A car moving on the road,
situations. a person running, a ball
rolling, and a swing
moving back and forth.
4. Why is it important to know the movement of It is important to know the
an object? movement of an object to
understand how things
work around us and to
stay safe. For example,
knowing how a car moves
helps us cross the road
Very good! It seems like everyone is listening safely.
very well today.

3. Abstraction
Who can tell me the importance of studying Teacher, it’s because
motion, class? everything here in the
universe moves.

You’re right! What else? A small amount of

movement and even it is
very slow, but movement
does happen is called a
motion, teacher.
Exactly! Don't forget that even if you appear to
be standing still, the Earth is moving around the
Sun, and the Sun is moving around our galaxy
and that is motion.

How are we going to measure the position of the

motion? By identifying its position
variable, vectors, and

solving the motion of an
After we solve the position of the motion what object.
are we going to do next?
Create graphs of motion,
Yes, correct class. Why is the graph important? teacher.
Understand, class? The graph is very
important to see the
relationships between
position, speed, and time.
I’m very happy that you have learned something
today, class!

Do you have any questions?

None so far teacher.
4. Application
This time, on the same group. Each group will
have a different task and you will write your
answers on the manila paper and present it in
front for 2 minutes.
Understand class?
Group 1: In two to three sentences, provide the Yes, teacher.
difference between position and distance.

Group 2: Graph-making. Using graphing paper, create a

graph illustrating the data shown on the left. Then answer
the question: How many seconds did it take for 20 grams of
rainwater to be collected?

Group 3: Problem Solving. Read the problem carefully. Answer

it completely. Illustrate a line diagram to answer the problem
below.

After reaching the finish line 100 meters from the starting line,
runner A moves 5 meters beyond the finish line, and then goes
back to meet runner B. When they meet, runner B is still 10
meters away from the finish line. What is the total distance
traveled by runner A up to the point when he meets B?

Wow! A warm applause to yourselves class! I am

amazed that you can present your task very well.

Now, I can tell that you are listening very well to our
discussion.
