LEARNING PACKAGE FOR GRADES 7
Learning Area: Science Grade Level: 7
Quarter: 3 Week: 1 Day / Session: 1
Name of Content Writer/s: Sarah B. Baliguat
I. Learning Competency/ies:
Identify that forces act between objects and can be measured.
Performance Standard:
By the end of the Quarter, learners employ scientific techniques, concepts, and
models to investigate forces and motion and represent their understanding using
scientific language, force diagrams, and distance-time graphs. They use their
curiosity, knowledge and understanding, and skills to propose solutions to
problems related to motion and energy. They explore how modern technologies
might be used to overcome current global energy concerns.
Content Standard: The learners learn that:
1.Scientists and engineers analyze forces to predict their effects on
movement.
Instructional Objective/s: By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
Describe what a force is; and
Describe the effects of forces on objects.
II. Content Overview:
Force is basically an interaction between two things or between something
and its surroundings. It is a push or a pull. What can force do? Force can make an
object move-change the direction of moving object, make a moving object to speed
up, stop a moving object, change the shape of an object.
For example: When you sit on a chair and push on it, it pushes back on you,
same goes as you stand on the floor, you press down, and the floor pushes back.
When you write on paper, especially if it is rough, you are applying force.
III. Learning Activities
Introduction (10 minutes)
1. Warm-Up Discussion: Is it a Force or No Force?
- This is a picture analysis activity. Students will ask to identify if the
picture is showing force or not. They will answer Force or No force.

- Can you analyze the scenarios in the picture and justify what makes you
think it is a force or not?
2. Explanation: Interactive demonstration
- Process the answer provided by the students. Describe each picture if it is a
force or not. (Provide more examples if needed)
1. Allow the students to describe the size and shape of the soft rubber ball.
Push the rubber ball against a wall or table. Ask them to observe and
explain what happened to the ball. Pull the opposite ends of the rubber
and let them compare and contrast their observations. Guide them to
answer the following questions:
a. What will happened to the ball when you pushed it against a wall or
table?
.
b. What is applied in the two instances?
2. Place the toy car on the table or the floor. Ask the students how to make
the toy car move.
3. Push the toy car. Let students describe the motion of the toy car. Ask
them how to make the toy car move faster, slower, stop, or even change
direction. Let the students record their observation.

4. Ask the students to present their output to the class.
Independent Practice (10 minutes)
- Students will be task to complete the fun task below.
Ball: Push a ball and see how it rolls. Pull it back and see what happens.
Door: Push a door to open it. Pull it to close it.
Book: Slide a book across a table. Lift it up and put it down.
Guide Questions:
What happens to the ball, door, and book when you push or pull them?
Does the ball roll faster or slower if you push it harder?
What makes it harder to slide the book on the table?
IV. Assessment Task/s
1. Practical Assessment:
- Teacher will check the students answers on the activities given to confirm if
they will be able to describe what is force and its effect on the object when applied.
2. Worksheet
- Students will be ask to answer the short quiz below
- True or False Questions: Write true if the statement is correct and write false if
the statement is not
1. True or False: A force can only be a push, not a pull.
2. True or False: When you pull a door open, you are applying a force.
3. True or False: An object will always move in the direction of the applied force.
4. True or False: Friction is a force that opposes motion.
5. True or False: Gravity is a type of force that pulls objects toward the Earth.
V. Reflective Learning Logs
Students will ask to:
- Compose a one (1) paragraph statement discussing what you have
learned, what you do not understand, and what you want to learn further.
VI. Supplementary Learning Resources
- Illustrations/picture representing forces.
- Videos on the effects of forces on object when applied.
VII. Teacher’s Guide
Instructional Tips:
- The best way to teach the concept of force to students is to relate it to their
everyday activities and experiences.
- Use visual examples to show force because sometimes it is difficult to spot
force.
- teacher can also use this simulation from PHET
https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/forces-and-motion-basics
Common Misconceptions:
- Students may believe that an object needed a continuous force to keep
moving.

Extension Activity:
- If there’s a need a further discussion teacher may may use the activity
entitled “Ways by which forces act on an object” ( see attached activity
sheets)
Answers Key:
Warm up: Possible Answers
1. What forces are acting on the person and the chair?
(The forces acting include the gravitational force pulling the person down
and the normal force exerted by the chair pushing up).
2. What forces are involved as the girl prepares to throw the ball?
(The forces include muscular force from her arm, gravitational force acting
on the ball, and possibly frictional force if she grips the ball tightly).
3. What role does gravity play once the ball is released?
(Gravity pulls the ball downward, affecting its trajectory and causing it to
eventually fall to the ground).
4. What force causes the fruit to fall?
(The gravitational force causes the fruit to fall towards the ground).
5. What force is applied to the object to make it move?
(An applied force (push) is exerted on the object to overcome static friction
and initiate movement).
6. How do the forces differ when pushing versus pulling the ball?
(Pushing applies a force in the direction of the push, while pulling applies a
force in the direction of the pull. The magnitude of the force can vary based on
the method and angle of application).
Activity 1: What force Can do?
Answers may Vary.
Independent Practice: Possible answers.
The ball, door, and book move when you push or pull them.
The ball rolls faster if you push it harder.
It is harder to slide the book if the table is rough or if there is more friction.

I. Part A. Activity 1. Ways by which forces act on an object.
II. Objective(s): At the end of the activity, you should be able to:
Identify how forces act on objects.
III. Materials Needed: soft rubber ball
IV. Procedures:
1. Place the ball on top of a table. Ask students what will happen if the ball is gently
pushed.
Allow them to observe and record their observations. Let them answer the
following questions.
a. What caused the ball to move?
.
b. Was the hand in contact with the ball when it moved?
.
2. Put back the ball on top of the table. Ask the students what will happen if the
ball this time is pushed. Ensure that they try hard enough for the ball to reach the
edge of the table and fall. Allow them to observe and record their observations.
Let then answer the following questions.
a. What were you able to observe? What caused the ball to move towards the
edge of the table?
.
b. What happened to the ball at the edge of the table?
.
c. What changed the direction of the ball? Was there anything that was
physically in contact with the ball that changed its direction? What do you
think is that force?
